The announcement by Jamaica's Minister of Finance Dr Nigel Clarke, while appearing as a political statement to divert criticisms of lack of effective oversight of the non-deposit financial sector, effectively closing the gate after the horse has escaped, could have far greater implications than the minister intended and much broader reach than he contemplated. The most recent report on Dr Clarke's expectations was revealed in the February 2 front-page article in the Jamaica Observer headlined 'No place to hide'. The minister is reported to have said that the involvement of the FBI would extend beyond what was initially expected. He shouldn't have been surprised. I am not.
While the SSL fraud is not comparable to some of the most egregious acts penalised by FinCEN and the US Department of Justice in the past, penalties are likely, even if of lesser proportions. The US generally fries the minnows with the sharks. No one is exempted.
