Thanks to Bajan Citizen for producing relevant links to the latest story making the rounds about Mark Maloney being scammed out of US10 million dollars purported to be a payment for 1 million doses of the AstraZeneca vaccine on behalf of Barbados and two other governments.

The blogmaster has two questions:

  1. On what basis was Maloney’s company Radical Investments Ltd selected to broker this transaction.
  2. Is the government out of pocket because of the errant transaction.
  3. How does being out of pocket USD6.7 million affect Maloney’s financial state to continue to do business.

Mark Maloney Says $12M COVID Vaccine Deal Was A Scam
https://www.law360.com/commercialcontracts/articles/1422923/barbados-co-says-12m-covid-vaccine-deal-was-a-scam

The case is Radical Investments Ltd. v. Good Vibrations Entertainment LLC et al., case number 9:21-cv-81761, in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Florida

Radical Investments Ltd. is a St Lucia registered company owned by Mark Maloney. 

He appears to have been swindled out of $6.7 millon USD from the governments of St Lucia, the Bahamas and Barbados who contributed money to buy COVID vaccines for their citizens.

“In April 2021, the Governments of Saint Lucia, The Bahamas and Barbados initiated a bulk purchase of AstraZeneca vaccines, as the minimum purchase from authorized suppliers was one million (1,000,000) vaccines.”

St Lucia contributed $7.3 million EC

Mark Maloney is deputy chair of the private sector group put together last March to fundraise and acquire more vaccines.

It is not clear what due dilligence Mr Maloney did before entering into this commercial arrangement with Good Vibrations Entertainment LLC. If you were looking to purchase pharmaceuticals would you do business with a company whith a name that connotes mechanical sexual services, and with an address at 21218 St Andrews Blvd Suite 318 that is a mailbox in a UPS store where 175 other fly by night companies also have their “headquarters”???

  1. Unfortunately Systems and People are flawed

    Help Desk xtn. 666
    People raise problems
    People fix the problems
    Workstream is prioritised and assigned neccesary resources

    This is how the System of Government and Parliament work and how they are fixed
    People vote for Government and Opposition
    Government manages and changes the System(s)
    People raise issues with Government and will also raise them with Opposition


  2. We are discussing a minister who should have resigned on principle after it was made public his PS and PM did an off book transaction behind his back and you continue to spout nonsense. Have the last word.

    The title of the blog should read scammer scammed, fitting indeed.

    The same pm went behind the backs of bajans to set up a reverse slave trade, that the weakest slave minds tried to PUBLICLY lure Black bajans into accepting and did not even know that is what it is….

    .. I would be careful of those who dont know their history, dont know who they are, but trying to control the minds of others…no different to the criminal element in the public-private partnership cabal, the difference, just like Bostic, the weakest minds are CLUELESS to what is really happening…cause the criminal brigade will never accept them in any innercircle.

    I would not point fingers at Bostic.

    This is some really ugly business. Were I Bostic, i would get myself a lawyer. When snakes find themselves backed up against a wall, their own doing, they tend to strike out, and get any number of minions to help, but then you know it’s easier to remove their heads when they are so desperate to assign blame to others.

    I knew there are severe weaknesses involved here, but to pin other people’s crimes on someone who had no clue about the scam, it was created at a level he was not privy to and could not interfere without severe, unethical and dangerous consequences, had he known, but pointing fingers as though he was the one set up the criminal act, while trying to give the criminal actors and main plotters a pass, even though it involves taxpayer’s money, after the fact, were it successful.. What the hell are people thinking.

    The good thing about this, the sham is public record in a Florida court, and his name is in none of the filings, but the plotters are, as official representatives of the people of Barbados..(government)

    The case is also proof and evidence for when prosecutors are ready to grab them all in the current accumulation of what they did to cause injuries. Should grab the one, the other half, who set up the elaborate AstraZeneca sham to cause potential injuries too, there is evidence of that, even if he was RoB-ed by bigger and better players.

    Sickening.

    I am no big pharma expert, but it’s easy to see everything has gone sideways. They are still screaming excess deaths and injuries.

    Japan has gone ballistic and want heads and blood, they are the ones have to face their people with answers, and decided perps must pay:

    Japan Declares Pharma Execs ‘Enemies of the State’ for Role in mRNA ‘Massacre’

    The COVID cartel criminals must be charged with crimes against humanity according to leading Japanese medical scientists who have gone on record describing the vaccines as “poison” and the global rollout as a “modern-day massacre.”

    The info is graphic with names of the faces of vax rollouts called and found on Telegram.


  6. I return here to have the last word and to defend the good Mr Bostic, but I see an Empress got you grip up by the seat of your pants and walking on your toes.

    I gine leave now before someone say ‘he helped murdah he’


  7. Maloney: Justice has been done

    by MARIA BRADSHAW

    mariabradshaw@nationnews.com

    PROMINENT BUSINESSMAN Mark Maloney has won a default judgement of US$4.2 million in the four-year-long case in which his company, Radical Investments Ltd. was defrauded of US$6.2 million, while trying to purchase one million COVID-19 vaccines for the Barbados Government.

    Last Friday, United States District Judge Monica Almadani, sitting in the United States District Court Central District of California, entered a default judgement against defendant Alex Moore and his company, Good Vibrations Entertainment, awarding Maloney the exact amount of money which he gave Moore to purchase the vaccines.

    However, the judge denied, without prejudice, a default judgement against defendants Moniladae Coley and her company, Prestige Pegasus, who received US$2 million, because she has never been served.

    Justice

    Maloney has been granted a further extension to locate her.

    When contacted yesterday, Maloney, who filed the case in 2021, told the MIDWEEK NATION:

    “Unfortunately, I can’t say anything at this time other than that justice has been done and we will pursue all avenues to collect what is owed to us.”

    He previously received an undisclosed settlement from the attorney who represented Moore during the failed transaction.

    It was during the COVID-19 pandemic that Maloney was introduced to Moore to purchase Astrazeneca vaccines for Barbados.

    The judge in her ruling noted: “This case stems from an agreement to purchase and deliver COVID-19 vaccines on behalf of the Government of Barbados. On April 16, 2021, Plaintiff Radical Investments Ltd.’s contracted with Defendant, Good Vibrations Entertainment, LLC (“GVE”) for the purchase and delivery of one million COVID-19 vaccines. The Contract stated that Radical Investments would pay GVE $12.2 million for the vaccines, with $10.2 million due upon signing and the remaining $2 million to be paid as commission to GVE.

    “On April 26, 2021, defendant Moore informed Plaintiff that the funds could not be sent directly to the vaccine provider. Instead, Moore told Plaintiff that the payment would need to go through an authorised supplier: Defendant Prestige Pegasus. On April 27, 2021, Plaintiff executed an amended irrevocable pay order for funds to be sent to Prestige. Between April 27, 2021, and May 3, 2021, the escrow agent released a total of $4.2 million to GVE and $2 million to Prestige.”

    The judge noted that bank records proved that Moore spent the money on luxury vehicles, gentlemen’s clubs, nightclubs and on financing the lifestyles of multiple exotic dancers. She added that Moore testified that he gave away about $2 million to friends and family.

    Sham businesses

    She stated: “Similarly, Plaintiff alleges that Coley transferred over $1 million of the contracted-for money to her personal bank account. Plaintiff alleges that Coley then spent this money on designer merchandise, electronics, lavish restaurants, and private jet flights. Plaintiff further alleges that both GVE and Prestige are sham businesses that exist for the sole purpose of allowing Moore and Coley to commit fraud.”

    In considering whether Radical Investments would suffer prejudice if default judgement was not entered, the court noted that the plaintiff had proved its case.

    “The Court finds that Plaintiff will be without other recourse for recovery absent default judgment,” the judge said, adding “Plaintiff has already litigated this case for years to obtain relief … under the totality of the circumstances, the Court finds that Plaintiff is likely to suffer continued prejudice if default judgment is not entered.”

    On Moore, who missed several court dates and did not respond to the motions, the court said: “This type of neglect is inexcusable—the Moore Defendants are making willful decisions and must make peace with the consequences of their actions. “

    Regarding Coley, who went by the name Billionaire Babe on social media and who often posted her new found wealth including, a rolls Royce and diamonds, she has not been active since 2023 and all the mail served in this matter were returned.

    The court noted: “Plaintiff admits it was unable to serve the Coley Defendants with the Second Amended Complaint (SAC). Under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 5, an amended complaint need not be served on defendants whose default has been entered for failure to respond to the original complaint unless the amendment asserts new or additional claims for relief against those defendants. . .; “Here, Radical Investments asserts new claims against the Coley Defendants in its SAC … Accordingly, the Court finds that Plaintiff has opened the default, making renewed service necessary. Because it is undisputed that Plaintiff has not served the Coley Defendants its amended complaint, the Court may not enter judgment against these defendants.”

    Final judgement

    The judge ruled: “The Court therefore denies the Motion for Default Judgment against the Coley Defendants without prejudice. . . . The Court understands Plaintiff may be frustrated that the first motion for default judgment against the Coley Defendants was denied by the Florida Court so that one final judgment could be issued against all Defendants, only to have this Court then find that the Coley Defendants were not served with the operative complaint and enter default judgment against all other defendants.

    “Here, Plaintiff has already spent significant time, effort, and expense litigating this action. For the reasons explained throughout this Order, the Court therefore finds that there would be no just reason to delay the entry of default. If Radical Investments intends to continue pursuing a judgment against the Coley Defendants, it is instructed to submit further briefing within ten days of this Order, explaining whether these Defendants can still be properly served or whether a new action against them would need to be filed,” failure to file this supplemental brief or otherwise inform this Court of how Plaintiff intends to proceed by the stated deadline shall result in dismissal of the Coley Defendants.

    “Plaintiff’s Motion for Default Judgment is granted as to the Moore Defendants and denied without prejudice as to the Coley Defendants.”

  8. Breakthrough for Maloney

    Woman involved in vaccine ‘scam’ found

    By Maria Bradshaw

    mariabradshaw@nationnews.com

    The woman who was involved in the swindling of US$10 million for COVID vaccinations which were supposed to be purchased for Barbados, has finally been found and is facing a US $2 million default judgment – the amount she owes to Barbadian businessman Mark Maloney.

    Moniladae Coley and her company Prestige Pegasus will face the United States District Court Central District California on November 3, after finally being served with the complaint against them. They were supposed to be the “authorised dealer” contracted by Alex Lee Moore, the man who was contracted by Maloney’s company, Radical Investments Ltd, to purchase one million Astrazeneca vaccines for Barbados.

    She was paid US$2 million but never fulfilled the purchase.

    Damages

    Since the trial began in 2021, two US courts attempted to serve Coley on numerous occasions but she was never located.

    As a result, while Maloney won a default judgment of US$4 million against Moore and his company Good Vibrations Entertainment back in May, the court had denied without prejudice, the granting of a default judgment against Coley citing that she had never been served and a further extension was granted.

    When contacted a satisfied Maloney told the Sunday Sun Coley was served at her father’s house in California.

    On September 18 the court noted that the application for default judgement had now been served on both parties adding.

    “Plaintiff is now entitled to judgment against defendants on account of the claims pleaded in the second amended complaint. Plaintiff seeks actual damages in the amount of at least $2 million for its claims.”

    Maloney’s attorneys explained: “In April of 2021, to meet pandemicdriven demand, plaintiff Radical Investments, Ltd was contracted to provide vaccines to the Government of Barbados. On April 16, 2021, plaintiff entered into a Purchase and Sale Agreement with defendant Good Vibrations Entertainment, LLC (“GVE”). GVE entered into the contract by and through defendant Alex “Flex” Moore. Pursuant to the contract, GVE was to supply RIL with one million vaccines in exchange for $12.2m with $10.2m due upon execution of the contract and the remaining $2m to paid as a commission to GVE (“GVE Commission”).

    Pointing out that US$2 million was “unlawfully wired to Prestige/Coley by the escrow agent,” they noted that “bank records show that Coley quickly emptied Prestige’s bank accounts through substantial cash withdrawals and mysterious wire transfers” for her benefit.

    Frivolous spending

    “It is evident that Coley used Prestige for the purpose of committing fraud against plaintiff. Coley treated Prestige Pegasus’ bank account as her personal piggy bank, engaging in reckless and frivolous spending.

    “A subpoenaed review of Prestige Pegasus’ bank account records reveals that Coley withdrew over $1 million in cash, transferring these funds directly into her personal account.

    These significant withdrawals, along with clear evidence of personal spending, demonstrate that Coley misappropriated Prestige’s resources for her own benefit. Prestige was nothing more than a façade, used by Coley to shield herself from liability. As such, piercing the corporate veil is necessary to hold her personally accountable.”

    “Although plaintiff was unable to depose Coley due to her refusal to defend this action, the bank records paint a clear picture of her misconduct. Coley also sent tens of thousands of dollars via CashApp to individuals with names such as “Destiny,” “Jasmine,” “Jewell,” “Kaylyn,” “Tececion,” “Ridah,” “Everett,” “Addie,” “Larry,” and “Sydney,” among others.

    “Her extravagant spending continued throughout the summer of 2021. For example, on June 14, 2021, Coley spent over $40 000 at a Louis Vuitton store in Jacksonville, Florida. On June 22, 2021, she spent nearly $8 000 at an Apple store, and on June 23, 2021, she spent $8 400 at Versace in Los Angeles.

    In addition, Coley regularly withdrew large amounts of cash from the Prestige bank account, spent lavishly at restaurants, and used the funds for private jet flights. By August 31, 2021, just a few months after receiving the $2 million from plaintiff only $8 002.22 remained in the Prestige bank account.

    “As is undisputed, defendants never delivered the vaccines and RIL has yet to recover the monies unlawfully obtained by Prestige.”

    In pleading for the default judgment the attorneys told the court that it was unlikely that default was the result of excusable neglect.

    “Because the defaulted defendants are fully aware of this action, have in the past been in contact with plaintiff and have had years to defend themselves. Coley and Prestige, they were properly served and defaulted at the outset of this case, have continued to be sent notices by the court throughout the duration of the action, were served once again in 2025 and have still failed to appear or otherwise defend themselves. Coley has spoken with plaintiff’s counsel on multiple occasions, albeit at the outset of the action and is fully aware of the allegations and claims against her and her company. Thus, this factor, therefore, weighs in favour of default judgment.”
