This heavily damaged Lottery vehicle was spotted on St. Croix this week.

(Update: Apparently the weekend fire was in a satellite office of the Lottery on St. Thomas. An large number of documents were reportedly destroyed. Anyone with verified information on this event is encouraged to contact us at admin@cruciansinfocus.com.)

Unreconciled accounts, unaccounted for tickets, duplicate winning tickets being paid, over $1.5 million in funds not transferred into the Educational Initiative Fund, overpayments into the General Fund, tickets with non-winning numbers being paid and $9 million in unreconciled bank accounts headline this external audit report on the Virgin Islands Lottery. We are reviewing but are posting for your immediate review. Our analysis will follow. The findings start on page 20.

Meanwhile, who wrecked this car? Maybe some Lottery official who already got a look at this report!

    Once again deJongh is trying to get rid of evidence.

    Well, well, well!

    First, there was the setting-up of a Senator with false evidence; Now, there is the setting-fire of an office to destroy credible evidence.

    Another conspiracy?

    Let us WATCH to see what’s NEXT!

    I passed by the Lottery Office, and the building looked intacted from the outside. It looks like the fire was only contained to the kitchen only. The media probably made it bigger than it really was.

    The fire was at the building downtown, which stores DOCUMENTS. There were fumes cominging from a storage room.

    If there was a fire, then the feds need to investigate the cause of the fire.

    If there were a fire, please be informed it may just be only one of many “Fires of Conspiracies.”

    The place is blazing with Corruption!

    @DSTC

    Try to make contact with ‘Recon’. There were fire trucks etc. Some people may have taken pictures.

    First, an “Audit Report” of the Lottery Office; then an ” Arson Report” at the Lottery Office.

    A Conspiracy or a Coincidence?

    It is time for a Change and a New Direction!

    I am one of your supporters, so I must advise that you got some information wrong. The Person who was in charge of the VI Lottery for fiscal year 2008 was Lenyse Shomo. Check out the slush information and correct Headlines on audit. I Will check to see if headline is corrected. Thanks
