Rumors swirled furiously late Wednesday night as to whether or not a federal indictment has been handed down in the matter of Virgin Islands Governor John P. deJongh, Jr., and the spending of $490,000 in public funds to make enhancements to his private home in Estate Mafolie on St. Thomas.
We don’t know. We are checking.
But we promise that as soon as any information is confirmed, we will let you know.
Meanwhile, enjoy the “Wolf.”
More than half of the contributions Delegate to Congress Donna Christensen has received in the current election cycle are linked to a Washington contractor who is the subject of a federal inquiry.
According to an article today in the Washington Post, Christensen has received at least $37,000 from contractor Jeffrey Thompson, who is suspected of using “straw” or phantom donors to evade contribution limits that are set for candidates running for office. His operations have drawn the attention of Federal authorities.
According to the article, Thompson’s accounting firm Thompson, Cobb, Brazilio and Associates, has 189 contracts with the federal government, worth $17.1 million. The company has done some business in the Virgin Islands, auditing grant funds awarded by the U.S. Department of Education and the Federal Highway Administration. TCBA recently advertised for an accounting position based in Saint Thomas, Virgin Islands.
Recently, Christensen has urged the Federal Election Commission to investigate the election system of the Virgin Islands, citing public discontent with the way the Board of Elections in operating. Perhaps this current development will hasten their acceptance of her request.
As many of you heard recently, CIF President Michael Springer, at left, delivered the first in a series of radio announcements that will target specific issues and offer analysis on our most pressing concerns.

You have no idea who was given what jobs. Most of the free masons in the Territory are self made business men. If they say they will not vote de Jongh then they won’t. They have no reason of being afraid of de Jongh. He can’t influence anything once it involves the Lodge.
De Jongh is in trouble with a whole lot of people. NO MORE YEARS FOR DE JONGH!
Disillusioned DeJongh-Democrats.
Why are you so sad?
Why are you so angry?
Have you lost your way?
Tell them to leave Mario Moorehead and Recon alone! John is a criminal and we want him gone! You hear that Mrs. Geris Brown!
We will see that!!!
The governor has been indicted. Stay Tuned.
Thank GOD For Recon and Mario!!!!!
Indicted for what? What are you talking about? Did I miss something?
Indicted?
Well, that whould explain O’Bryan’s sudden and last minute entry in governor’s race.
If that be the case, run Jimmy run!
But keep in mind, neither Jimmy nor Luz can beat Donastorg.
deWolf can still run while under indictment.
It all depends on what the indictment counts are and whether or not the Federal government believes he becomes a flight risk after being indicted.
The Fed can ask a judge to lock him up until he goes to trial because they believe he might try to flee the country. de Jongh has dirty money spread out around the world and is in a position to become a flight risk.
It seems only logical that he be locked up pending his trail and conviction. Isn’t that’s what de Wolf do to lesser offenders?
I say lock him up until his trail date.
They would just take his passport
Taking a passport away from a flight risk does not preventing him from fleeing, prison bars will.
Lock him up!
You are a wild train keep smoking your pipe.
