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".

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 http://jamaica-gleaner.com/article/news/20181016/beienetch-watson-rethinking-jamaicas-tourism-strategy And one about the travisty (sp?) by the British government against 15000 really old Jamaicans.
