Good day and God's Blessings to all the people of the Virgin Islands and beyond.

I wish to categorically condemn and debunk, as malicious and fake-news, an article that began circulating this morning on internet and social media channels under the headline, “FINANCIAL INSPECTION: Andrew Fahie risks 10 years in prison for Virgin Islanders using his new app to "get rich too fast"”, and with a sub-headline that states – and I quote: “Virgin Islander citizens are already raking in millions of dollars from home using this "wealth loophole" - but is it legitimate?”

The office of the Department of Information and Public Relations is closed for the remainder of today, Monday, March 15.

The Government of the Virgin Islands is pleased to share its monthly BVILOVE e-magazine publication with the people of the Virgin Islands.

The Government of the Virgin Islands is reminding the public that there are suspicious publications bearing the image of Premier and Minister of Finance the Honourable Andrew A. Fahie alongside what appears to be official documents of the Virgin Islands circulating on social media channels, which is fake news.
