FTC Must Prosecute Kirk Brown

The quest for quick money by gullible Barbadians has tossed up the latest crook in the name of Kirk Brown, popular DJ, entertainer.

The quest for quick money by gullible Barbadians has tossed up the latest crook in the name of Kirk Brown, popular DJ, entertainer.

In June 2021 Director of Consumer Protection Dav Leslie-Ward at the Fair Trading Commission (FTC) issued this statement “(FTC) working on getting the regulatory framework to deal with all “blessing circles”/pyramid schemes”.

The blogmaster has posted on these dishonest pyramid schemes in earlier blogs. Why do so educated Barbadians fall for these dishonest schemes? These are the same Bajans who have the right to vote, refuse a vaccine etc. We live in interesting times. A society has the moral obligation to protect the vulnerable, the regulator (FTC) needs to prosecute Kirk Browne to send a message to the ignorant.

Thanks to Peter for drawing to the attention of Barbados Underground.

    Boss…
    Would you care to please explain this ‘process’ that you are so wont to ‘respect’…. cause Bushie DON’T get it!!!

    …and in the hallowed bush man’s book, ‘Naivety’ refers to an apparent or actual lack of experience and sophistication, often describing a neglect of pragmatism – in favor of moral idealism.

    …in udder words, having ‘respect’ for shiite processes that do NOT make sense…

    You KNOW that Bushie does NOT play THAT!!!

    We must wait until Dondley and his commissioners rule. That is the process.

    This is nothing more than a Pavlovian process. When the final decision is made, the masses are so accustomed to paying higher that a slightly higher increase is accepted without a whimper.

    They are playing games.

    Part of the process is a timeline for decisions?
    This is now becoming like the courts with legal delay tactics.
    Or the NIS with reporting.
    The “norm” shifts, until you have nothing left.
    And one wonders “how we get hey”?
    Unacceptable is the only response.

    I heard, from a reliable source, a number of persons recently resigned from FTC, including some who were employed a few months ago. Have to ask if that situation affected the process.

    This kind of obfuscation is normally associated with situations where certain underhanded practices are in play and where full transparency and openness CANNOT be employed.

    Delays then introduce miscellaneous distractions; people get tired; people die.. and eventually we all just want to get it over with… and to Hell with the underhand stuff…
    Called ‘complacent brassbowlery’.

    What can POSSIBLY be complex about adding up BL&P’s expenses and income and subtracting to see if they are making reasonable profits; too little profit; or MUCH TOO MUCH damn profit?
    Lotta shiite!!!

    If such a process takes more than four weeks, then perhaps we should allow a full month for the damn 11+ exam.

    I understand FTC has already completed the calculations.

    But, the B.L&P asked for more time, which was requested by a manager who said he was grieving as a result of his father’s death.

    An obvious ‘delay tactic.’

    The FTC granted them nine (9) days.
