Lottery scam sentencing - JonTom - 10-16-2018

An article on sentencing for lotto scammer was interesting (to me) in the sentencing judges' statement ( U.S. District Judge Daniel Hovland).

“I know you weren’t the first person. I know you won’t be the last. It’s going on forever; it’s a way of life in Jamaica,” Hovland told Willocks.

Seems a rather cynical, even if accurate, view of Jamaica.

Note that Willocks also would dispute the title of the Gleaner article. He said something to the effect of "I'm not a kingpin and the scam would've happened with out me".

A million dollars a year, minus expenses and sharing, is not a bad income for a 29 year old who may be released after 3 years (6 year sentence.)

More than I made.

Tangent - the bottom of that story has 2 links, one of "increased tourism isn't really helping the local citizens," and IMO casts doubt on elected/appointed officals not exercising good managment

And one about the travisty (sp?) by the British government against 15000 really old Jamaicans. Widipedia has long item related to Windrush Scandal.
