'We must not panic'- Dr Natalio D. Wheatley
The meeting, scheduled for 7:00 P.M. to 9:00 P.M., will also see professionals from the financial services sector examine the possible impact on financial services and the economy by the recent amendment to the Sanctions and Anti-Money Laundering Bill, brought to the United Kingdom’s House of Commons by the Opposition, to make beneficial owners of offshore companies in the Overseas Territories (OTs) public.
Posting on his Facebook page today, college lecturer and commentator Dr Natalio D. Wheatley aka Sowande Uhuru said the meeting is a “non-partisan forum for mature, sober-minded, and responsible discussion about the potential implications of the recently amended Sanctions and Anti Money Laundering Bill passed in the UK House of Commons imposing public registers of beneficial ownership on the Virgin Islands and other overseas territories.”
Mr Wheatley added that the people of the Virgin Islands must educate themselves and engage the public.
“We must not panic. We must be proactive in providing the solutions which are required in the best interest of the people of the Virgin Islands…”
It is unclear who exactly has organised the meeting scheduled for this afternoon.
We are not panicking!
Speaking as a guest on the Honestly Speaking show with Mr Claude O. Skelton Cline on Tuesday May 8, 2018 on ZBVI 780 A.M., author of the book 'Financial Services Demystified', Lawyer, co-writer and composer of the Territorial Song and member of the organising committee of the national march, Ms Ayana S. Hull had said the Territory had no need to go into panic mode following recent developments and that the industry is still stable.
“I haven’t seen any fall out in the industry. …Our Investors are used to this. Until when things settle and they understand exactly what the issue is, we haven’t seen so much movement,” she stated.
She went on to explain that “Our issue is not worrying about the immediacy of losing our business, we are not panicking in the industry. We are really concerned about whether we should have someone just determining every two or three years, every time we do something that you should move the goal post and have us like a hamster on a wheel. That’s the real issue for us...”
