Leroy Parris and Eight Million Dollars
Parris and pals in better times
If Barbadians were to dispassionately try to solve many of the ills affecting our little island, a priority item would be a flawed governance system. The revelation that head of the Fair Trading Commission (FSC) is the nephew of deceased late Prime Minister David Thompson should make those calling for greater transparency in government raise the level of advocacy.
In 2013 Leroy Parris of Professional Services Inc was ordered by CIBC FirstCaribbean International Bank to remove eight million dollars from that bank – CIBC First Caribbean International Bank Instructs Leroy Parris to Take a Hike. The reason has not been made public although John Public would have to assume CIBC FirstCaribbean International Bank took issue with the source of the funds. Of interest is that the funds were reported to have been transferred to a credit union. Obviously, if true, the credit union had no similar concerns.
BU has a problem with any of the big 3 credit unions accepting a large deposit which has the potential to destabilize its portfolio given credit union business operations and philosophy. Further, would the Financial Services Commission (FSC) responsible for regulating credit unions have shown an interest in the transaction for the same reason as CIBC FirstCaribbean International Bank? Surely the FSC would not take lightly the position of a Canadian based bank which comes from a market with a reputation of adhering to best governance principles.
BU understands financial institutions in Barbados and elsewhere are forced by law to report deposits which do not meet established criteria spelt out in laws of the land. In Barbados the Barbados Financial Intelligence Unit/Anti-Money Laundering Authority is responsible for receiving (and requesting), analyzing and disseminating to the competent authorities, disclosures of financial information: (i) concerning suspected proceeds of crime and potential financing of terrorism, or (ii) required by national legislation or regulation, in order to counter money laundering and terrorism financing. This is in essence the core work of the FIU. The Unit also engages in the sharing of financial intelligence with other Financial Intelligence Units – Barbados Financial Intelligence Unit.
BU admits we are unaware of any individual charged under the Anti-money Laundering Act since the Barbados Financial Intelligence Unit was established. One would imagine the relative small size of the Barbados market should make it easy to tie financial transactions to criminal behaviour. Why is the public not seeing the fruit of the labour of this body measured in the number of arrests and convictions? Note the composition of the Anti-money Laundering Authority.
BU does not expect the FSC to publicly pronounce on this matter but yet there is a reasonable expectation by taxpayers the FSC should convey it is on the job. The Office of Supervisor of Insurance it replaced failed to deliver efficient enforcement of laws and the CLICO fiasco has been the result.
One way Barbadian taxpayers might feel satisfied with the FSC is if there is an energetic call by them to unsealed the CLICO judicial manager’s report by order of the Courts of Barbados.

So here we have a case where we have a foreign-owned bank obeying the local laws but a credit union because of its incestuous relationships with the morally-tainted political directorate has the unmitigated gall to accommodate an alleged fraudster in carrying out his money laundering schemes.
Now what does that say about the state of law enforcement in Barbados when there is such a terrible and blatant disregard for rules and regulations governing the financial services framework and general business environment?
How can the people elected and appointed to maintain the good name of Barbados continue to be so negligent and do these awful things of subterfuge and cover-up with impunity?
Don’t you think it is high time that these white-collar scoundrels- educated at taxpayers- expense be named and shamed not only in the court of public opinion but also be exposed to the surveillance, observation and opprobrium of international regulatory bodies such as the OECD and Interpol?
Shouldn’t the Canadian government be morally concerned about the risks posed to their corporations with operations in Barbados of being tarred with the same brush of local financial infelicities?
What implications do the total disrespect for the Barbados jurisdiction’s financial rules and Revenue laws (as shown by the Barbados authorities) have for the Double Taxation Agreement and TIEAs?
Shouldn’t the American regulatory bodies be also concerned about the financial shenanigans and gross disrespect for law, rules and regulation being exhibited by Barbados despite the FACTA?

++++++++++
First the Canadian Gov’t don’t own the Banks so I am bemused by your term ‘their corporations”, secondly I submitted a post which reported that RBC was eliminating all its wealth management operations in the Caribbean and Latin America due to concerns about money laundering the impetus for this decision came from investigations in the US and if one Bank is under scrutiny we can surmise that all are under scrutiny. Based on the foregoing CIBC/FCIB may have made the decision that the origin of these funds could be an issue and asked the customer to take his money elsewhere.
Is Barbados flouting the rules? Depends on whom you talk to, remember at the time the funds were alleged to be deposited the CLICO debacle was not on anyone’s radar and the funds were channeled via a legitimate law firm and originated from the company which employed the recipient. We don’t know if the transaction raised any flags within FCIB/CIBC or if they reported it and if they did it could have come up against the bureaucratic roadblock that is the norm in Barbados or the powers that be determined that the funds were “clean” based on the names of the individuals who are alleged to have been assisting the owner to find a landing spot.
Lastly, one of my friends (now deceased) used to say “when yuh big, yuh big” meaning that when you reached a certain stature nothing could harm or nobody could touch you, so little Barbados could face sanction from the International bodies because of as you put it “infelicities” whereas big Switzerland could waltz away “scot free” despite the shenanigans of HSBC, indeed Switzerland has an arrest warrant for the employee who leaked the files with the names of the people who had secret Bank accounts at HSBC.

Thanks for the ‘pedantic’ correction to the use of the term ‘their corporations’. Of course Canada is a capitalist free-market oriented economy and the possibility of the Government owning widespread commercial entities especially in the international financial services industry is extremely remote.
The phrase “morally concerned” was used wisely to imply the government’s limited control other than by way of moral suasion.
However you cannot gainsay the legally binding role of the Canadian government when it comes to the control of what goes into any double taxation treaty between Canada and ‘lowly’ Barbados. It is because of the ‘generous’ provisions contained in the existing treaty that allow Barbados to be an attractive jurisdiction and domicile for many Canadian (privately-owned) corporations doing business internationally.

Yes absolutely. They could, and they did it to Parris whatever the mechanics of doing it were. They could do it to you or me any day they decide they don’t want your money for any reason. We don’t know exactly why they closed his account but they can do it any time they want if information comes to hand which they are not comfortable with. Normally, and I repeat normally, funds deposited by a business or company would not need any special declaration as to their source.

These people who were given the responsibility to manager an already broken company, in my view, raped it financially, now want to jump ship because the money is all gone. the decision they are now making should not have taken this long to make. They are as much responsible for the financial situation that CLICO now finds itself.

The story is that the UK Government received 135 million in penalties and back taxes from people who had money in HSBC. Presumably they didn’t want to pay that money to the Revenue.

With regard to your query about white collar perpetrators of crime I will call your attention to three “mystery of mysteries” phenomena that are peculiar to Bulbados
The first is that barring the one white policeman at District A Police station there is no other white man in Royal Barbados Police Force
The second is that you NEVER SEE a Bajan white or indian learnee with a black driving instructor (or them ent a real Buckra Johnnie nor a real coolie)
And the final mystery – The sons and daughters of certain people in Barbados, EVEN THOUGH THEY HAVE COMMITTED CRIMES FOR WHICH THEY SHOULD BE INCARCERATED, will never end up in Dodds.
That is why those people who, each year, inform Transparency International about the state of affairs of things in Barbados are just Pimps and Whores.
When the proliferation of crime reaches out to touch the people in the heights then all of this dissembling will change.

I can’t speak for Sir Cliff of course but people put their money in Switzerland for a variety of reasons as well as tax evasion/avoidance or hiding the proceeds of crime. Often it’s to hide money from spouses or through fear of kidnapping if their wealth was known back home (common for Venezuelans and Mexicans for example). With regard to the Swiss Franc negative interest rate, the total return can still be seriously positive through exchange rate gains such as after the recent dropping of the Euro/Swiss Franc peg. However, much of the money in Swiss banks is held in other currencies on which interest is paid, albeit mostly at very low rates in recent years.
