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.”
http://www.govt.lc/news/saint-lucia-s-efforts-to-secure-high-demand-covid-19-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.
https://barbadostoday.bb/2021/03/03/high-powered-group-ready-to-assist-with-vaccine-financing/

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”???

    What deceptively lured, these went out of their way and made it their personal business to take proposals to other island managements that they could procure vaccines…Chastahet said there were many of them… they chose Radical…no one sent and called them with their 12 Million dollars,..they went looking for crooks or it would be handled differently…so what did they invest in….bet ya they can’t answer that.. ..no one cares about the market…and ya should have allowed real professionals to do the procurement…they are people with that specialty…..the spinning won’t work..what deceptively lured what…..deceptively caught….😂😂

    T”he legal filing claimed the company was “deceptively” lured into an “elaborate” U.S. $10.2 million scam for one million “non-existent” doses of the AstraZeneca vaccine through a Florida-based company.

    “This is a classic and very unfortunate example of the very deleterious environment, which currently exists across the world as small and vulnerable countries try to gain access to life-saving medication,” she said.

    Bradshaw said the deal was struck this past February when vaccines were not readily available, and the government was using any means necessary to secure them for Barbados.

    “We agreed to facilitate one million vaccines because for those who understand the process they would realise it is not something that you can just say, ‘I want 50, I want 100, I want 2 000’,” she said.

    “The way the market is working is that you have to purchase at least a minimum of one million vaccines, and it was our understanding that other countries in the region were also grappling with how they get vaccines as well, so we would have helped to facilitate these other countries as well.”

    Bradshaw said the deal falling through contributed to the delays that Barbadians experienced in getting vaccines a few months earlier.

    “Fortunately, having entered into good faith dealings with an extra-regional supplier to procure the vaccines for Barbados, the regional private sector company, Radical Investments Ltd has been unable to get the supplier to hold up its end of the arrangements and deliver the vaccines as promised,” she said.

    “I think on many occasions you have heard the Prime Minister (Mia Mottley) and Health Minister (Lt Col Jeffrey) Bostic tell the country we are awaiting the arrival of vaccines, and on different occasions, we kept saying we were trying to source those vaccines and they should be arriving shortly. That really was what that was connected to.”

    Why would these two stand by our Supreme Leader and her herald Maloney? After all, there are also impartial and absolutely neutral observers like Tron on BU who consider Maloney worthy of a knighthood.

    Maloney has made so much money on the backs of the black masses with Grotto and Coverley, a few million is nothing more than financial peanuts.

    What would have happened if the Honourable Maloney had procured the vaccine in the spring? Everyone (except the opposition) would have hailed him as a hero. After the failure, Maloney deserves all our respect. He is a true patriot.

    Those who are now faithlessly crying for the DLP should be ashamed of themselves. Only fanatical racists who wish eternal economic servitude and Haitian-like conditions for the black masses on our island still vote DLP.

    At the end of the year, our Supreme Leader will triumph. All those willing to be vaccinated will then be vaccinated. The crisis will be over and we can look forward to a great and happy year in 2022.

    Why did Barbadians fall for the scammers? Out of sheer desperation. If our nationalist socialists had not seceded Barbadians from the motherland in 1966, we would have benefited from the Astrazeneca vaccine from the UK since December 2020.

    In other words, the DLP independence policy is responsible for Those who cry out for independence must also answer for the many dead.at least 30-40 Corona deaths. I think it is time for the DLP President to apologise for what Barrow did in 1966.

    It is now clear that Mark Maloney was the person to whom govt handed the money
    Santia Bradshaw in the press statement made pains of noting that the scammers did not receive money from the govt and therefore govt is not expecting any money from the scammers
    However what she intentionally not said that Monies to procure the sale would have been handed to Mark Maloney working on behalf of the govt
    The report is stating that Mark Maloney is seeking to have 6 million dollars return to his company the question then why would Mark Maloney pay out of pocket money for a product which he personnally couldn’t use
    The answer lies within the role in which he played on behalf of govts as the collecting agent to secure the vaccines

    Not so
    Riveting and expanded details which brought to light many possibilities of the way govt might have gone about relying on Mark Maloney to get the vaccine
    One can say a level of high trust was meted out to Maloney a reason why govts in haste was quick to hand Maloney that much money to get the vaccine and not much worrying about the source of the vaccine
    In any international country this kind of outside influence of sourcing could land Maloney in jail
    He better be careful the USA govt don’t bring charges against him for intentionally buying pharmaceutical vaccines within an intent to resell to govts from unknown sources

    You are missing something important.
    In international trade, business, banking, finance the acts of any party involved in a transactions are generally deemed to be the acts of all parties.

    Therefore if Maloney introduces a criminal purposed-seller in a transaction in which Caribbean governments are known to be involved all the parties are assumed to have been involved in or connected to the misdeeds of a single party. This is why banks, for example, follow “know your customer” rules. Unlike Barbados no one can plead ignorance to the acts of another.

    I think I’ll go to Preconco tomorrow, order a thousand concrete slabs and sell them overseas. No down payment, of course. With Maloney’s boundless naivety, that shouldn’t be a problem. Seriously, though. The man is a financial illiterate. You can’t even pay by credit card at Preconco.

    It would not be surprising if money laundering is looked at as well in these circumstances. We are merely at the surface right now. As you correctly stated once governments are involved , one never knows how these things will end up.

    Great video PLT….so according to some top class investigative reporting St. Lucia is the only one got jabbed by Radical Investments who don’t even seem to be a registered company let alone a vaccine procurer…what a huge surprise..

    For the dunces…cabinet can convine and have a check cut MANUALLY and no one would be the wiser and LIE about for as long as they could breathe..even i know that…and with Santia stumbling over her words…there is no one to say that is not what hapoened…it’s just a matter if ya believe them or not and i dont since i have no reason to.

    But my concern is…who gave Chastenet a glowing testimonial that the maloney boy is a vaccine procurer…..so a company that does not exist after a records search, as someone on BU searched and relayed something was off about the company’s existence, think it was Theo, files a lawsiut in Florida claiming they got robbed by an entertainment company that also falsely claimed it too can procure vaccine…told yall the court in Florida has to sort this out because since yesrerday morning it was understood that this could go sideways. Too many false claims..

    Yep court caee in Florida claiming they were robbed of 10-12 million by crooks who also claimed they could procure vaccines…when at the time Barbados had unused vaccines.,

    Then nonexistent Radical gets 5 milion US returned to it and to date HAS NOT RETURNED ST. LUCIA’S 7 MILLION EC….St. Lucia should sue Maloney as Barbados’ government agent to return those funds because Bahamas said they have no clue about the whole shit show….understandable because they changed governments days ago, the new one has to get settled un and investigate.

    am sure Cuddear is still selling bridges out of Brookkyn.

    My take on the information is

    BD Government would have purchased the vaccines if they were available but they were not ever available

    Maloney was not a broker between parties he wanted to be a seller by buying the allocated Bajan stock with his own money

    People are criticising the property developer for attempting to procure vaccines to fight Covid during pandemic

    Still unanswered questions on ‘scam’

    OPPOSITION LEADER Joseph Atherley says Government’s explanation into the extent of the dealings with the Mark Maloneyowned Radical Investment Ltd does not offer much comfort to Barbadians.
    The company is alleging it was scammed while attempting to procure AstraZeneca vaccines on behalf of the people of Barbados.
    Yesterday, acting Prime Minister Santia Bradshaw in a press statement to the country, acknowledged the vaccines were indeed procured on Government’s behalf, but made it clear taxpayers’ dollars were not expended in the initiative as the intent was to purchase the vaccines from the company once they arrived in Barbados.
    Bradshaw also took the opportunity to address concerns raised earlier by Atherley, suggesting at one stage that he was commenting on matters which he did not understand, when he questioned Government’s rationale and due diligence in the exercise. She also levied similar criticisms against president of the Democratic Labour Party Verla De Peiza, who also called for clarity on the parameters of the arrangement.
    However, responding immediately after Bradshaw’s address, the Opposition Leader accused the acting Prime Minister of “posturing”, during what he said was a misguided attempt to demonstrate to the critics that she was capable of acting in Prime Minister Mia Mottley’s stead.
    He said a host of questions still remain unanswered, namely information related to the track record of Radical Investment Ltd in procuring pharmaceuticals, logistics which should have been key to Government giving the company their blessing.
    “It is emerging now that Government did know about it and that they gave the private company the go-ahead to acquire the vaccines. My concerns were not allayed at all and the response I heard from the acting Prime Minister could only be described as a ridiculous attempt at posturing to try to prove that she is up to the task of acting as Prime Minister, to impress her Cabinet colleagues and others who may be in doubt as to her capacity with respect to that function,” said Atherley.
    He added: “To try to attack me on the basis of the fact that I am saying that in a world of scams, where a company acting on behalf of Government, could be scammed out of that volume of money, then one would have to be concerned and Government would have to be cautious, that the scam does not occur with the quality of the vaccine provided. Are you telling me that this position is so irrational?”
    Referencing an earlier comment attributed to the Minister of Health and Wellness Lieutenant Colonel Jeffrey Bostic, in which he was reported in another section of the press as saying, “I am afraid I do not know anything about Radical Investments Ltd so I cannot comment on this one”, Atherley contended there appeared to be some contradictions.
    “If Bostic does not know about Radical Investment, then how it is that Government can enter an agreement with reference to the Ministry of Health and Wellness? I am not at all attacking Minister Bostic, but the information coming from the two sources are certainly at odds. The Minister of Health is telling us that he has no knowledge of the company, yet the acting Prime Minister can tell us that with the Government’s leave, the company sought to procure vaccines on behalf of the people of Barbados,” he said.

    There is nothing wring with Barbados taxpayers questioning why government deviated from the established procurement process. If as the PM and deputy PM are making out, buying COVID vaccine is like the wild wild west – what is wrong with sharing that info with the public how government was going about it i.e. linking with middle players, and why MAM2?

    It is a democracy, a government of the people for the people.

    Deal ‘above board’

    Acting PM: Vaccine fallout didn’t cost taxpayers
    THE MOVE by a company owned by Barbadian businessman Mark Maloney to procure a million AstraZeneca vaccines was not only above board, but didn’t cost taxpayers a cent, acting Prime Minister, Santia Bradshaw revealed yesterday.
    During a 30-minute address to the nation, Bradshaw said Maloney’s company Radical Investments Ltd, had become a victim of the “wild wild west” environment which now exists as countries across the globe attempt to procure vaccines from pharmaceutical companies.
    The acting Government leader held the address after most media companies in Barbados yesterday reported that the Maloney-owned Radical Investments Ltd had started legal proceedings against Good Vibrations Entertainment LLC in Florida in the United States to recoup over US$10 million.
    “This was a classic and yet very unfortunate example of the very deleterious environment which exists across the world, as small and vulnerable countries try to gain access to life-saving medication,” she said.
    Bradshaw noted that in February last year, Barbados, like other countries in the Caribbean, was struggling to procure vaccines, and several offers were made by private entities and individuals to assist in any way they could, to source the precious drugs.
    She added that the Government was aggressive in reaching out to not only those entities, but in any way to source vaccines quickly.
    “Middlemen or intervening companies that work on behalf of Government cannot actually purchase vaccines,” she revealed. “There are certain rules governing how vaccines can be procured from the manufacturers, and this can only be done if the recipient government approves of such purchases, and arrangements are put in place for the vaccines to be delivered directly to the relevant authorities in the country, under the auspices of the Ministry of Health,” the minister further explained.
    Bradshaw added that vaccines did not go to any private entities, but come from manufacturers to the Ministry of Health.
    “The Government agreed to and approved of this exclusively private-sector led and funded initiative to source the doses of the vaccines for the citizens of Barbados. It was our understanding that we would have also helped to facilitate other countries to get some of the millions that were being ordered,” the acting Prime Minister said.
    Bradshaw noted that Barbados’ quota was to be 300 000 doses of the vaccine, at a time when there was a worldwide scarcity.
    “Having someone that could source these vaccines in these large quantities, with a view that we could enter into relationships across the region, for us, was an attempt to get vaccines into the arms of as many people as possible,” she stressed.
    She said while it was a private matter, no taxpayer resources were given to Radical Investments Limited. “This is a most unfortunate situation, and one which highlights the wild wild west environment of which the Prime Minister (Mia Mottley) has spoken about on many occasions, that obtains on the COVID-19 vaccine market. Radical Investments did not obtain a cent from us and is therefore not expecting a refund from the Barbados government.”
    According to Bradshaw, the clear understanding was that once the items were sourced and arrived in Barbados, then the appropriate payments would have been made to the company. She also said it was her understanding some of the payments had been refunded to Radical Investments Ltd.
    She added that governments have not used their usual procurement departments to source vaccines since the pandemic started 18 months ago.

    The more this scam issue is brought into the public sphere
    The illegality of what occured is given food for thought and questions that should be asked of those involved
    Does Mark Maloney has a license to buy medical supplies in bulk which can be sold to govts or business
    This vaccine needed FDA approval and came with strict guidelines
    How is it that any govt along with Mark Maloney can take it upon themselves to rub against illegality to purchase vaccines on the black market
    Mark Maloney step on thin ice with an intent to buy a high risk vaccine outside the standard procedure of WHO govt approval
    One can bet that if a person of different races was caught being involved in such illegal transactions of attempting to buy and sell vaccines on the black market jail time would await the individual
    This brazen attempt by Mark Maloney is wanting of justice intrusion with an understanding of sending a message that such illegal behaviour which can cause harm or damage to the health of innocent people would not be tolerated
    Govt was wrong to get involved in such scandalous illegalities and their fate should be handed to them by calls for resignation forthwith

    They can delay or stop payments reaching recipients with no explanation provided to either party involved.
    Innocent people are often hit without knowing why.
    The question is whether Good Vibrations received the money and did not provide the vaccinations as agreed.

    The public should press for all information related to the project without fabricating nonsense. When the case is called we will get the facts. Why would government deny paying Radical Investment knowing the truth will come out in the wash?

    Is this a requirement for the COVAC system?

    The real concern should have been, why are they still holding on firmly to their patents and not distributing them free of cost to governments with manufacturing competencies since it was state funding given them to develop these vaccinces in the first place?

    This suggests a wider conspiracy. A real conspiracy against the people no less virulent than the Maloney one.

    Why this exception to capitalism along the distribution system alone? Seems inconsistent with capitalism as practised by monopolists.

    “You stick to what you know about the US.”

    Who are you firing at?

    Barbados population is the size of a small city and needed to club together with other Caribbean countries to order minimal sized batches of vaccines available on the market at going rates.
