You live by the sword you die by the sword that’s it and that’s all
Yall label anybody a business man that’s the new name for drug men ?
Then will talk about how they “contributed” to society SMH
Of course it is. When I hear the word business man it makes me cringe. It makes the true business men/owner looks bad. The majority of businesses in the BVI is or has been getting $$$$
backing from criminal elements on the down low.
nature’s little secret is that the drug game is the third pillar of our economy
Plenty of people on the Island was going to West lending money to build a business or money for other things. He was the money man.B was the coke man and West was the money man. None of them will come out and say such because they to damn afraid. Then got the nerve to be saying no, not me, but your a.. was deep in WEST SIDE POCKETS.
The man run one of the biggest record labels in the caribbean, ofcourse he was a businessman
This news site never reported him as a businessman, it’s the other site.
y’all do know he has legal successful businesses
You do know his life was surrounded by Coco trafficking any sensible man knows he washed the money here in the bvi
The same bvi that makes noises with the UK when them are asked to be transparent with there financial services….
So yea looks legit in the book but we all know is through illegitimate means…
So don’t try to put lipstick on a pig…
I guess once the money wash every drugman business is “legit”
Bvi the only place I see “business men” looking like thugs and not wearing suits
Oh boy my home mehson
you sound so slow, a businessman doesn’t have to wear a “suit” to be a businessman wtf you saying
Legal my a**! Is drug money fund it
DEFINITION OF MONEY LAUNDERING:
Money laundering involves disguising financial assets so they can be used without detection of the illegal activity that produced them. Through money laundering, the criminal transforms the monetary proceeds derived from criminal activity into funds with an apparently legal source.
You live by the gun die by the gun time longer than twine.
A heavy spirit have just been lifted off the BVI
People could rest now and leave them house in peace
You think?? That is a false sense of security.
yu dumb or wha? Da man going have people looking for the killers dem the spirit might be loose but the bvi bout be a hellfire
Just like Ian he ain last too long they feel they untouchable
Another idiot will take his place.You get instant wealth but you won’t live long. How is that a life anyone would want to live?
And the next idiot who take his spot will be added to the green light list book. Today his name happen to be picked of the list. Look at how they take him out in broad daylight and left him on the side of the road like a piece of garbage. Whoever is pulling the trigger these days is becoming more and more ruthless they don’t care.
They meant to murk dude in the open so everyone could see that they were not playing.No one is untouchable in the game.
mehson shut your illiterate a** up , ian done dead and gone leave he the f**k out !
Check your grammar before speaking about another person being illiterate.
witch ian u talking bout ?
Karma. Today for me Tommorow for youu.
What ‘business’ is worth death??
Cry if you want, but ah badness it name!
045 of best empty da clip….
Killing all west Bank just hold on
West Bank and the people that he hang with and do business with knows what’s good meaning they are putting themselves in the line of fire.people known and label for whom they associate themselves with.
Look where his life came to an end laying on the side of the road all alone the day before Mother’s Day. I am so glad the news site did not blur the crime scene picture out. I hope the ones that is into the gangster lifestyle and think you all gangster, that is exactly where you are going to end up laying on the side of the road if you don’t slow your roll.
On a next level this shows how unsafe this place is. In broad day light with many people around. Common citizens are sitting ducks easy prey if they were not after each other. How merciful. we are at their mercy and the authorities keep letting them out.
Election called
Hmmm and just a few feet from the 2017 west end shooting.
Yes .. hint hint
A literal curve in the road/ intersection separates where his uncle and him were gunned down.
The comment said 2017 and is not about his uncle, like you ain’t live Tola to know bout the 2017 botched hit. Wake up!!
What a time to be alive! Happy Mother’s Day to all the mothers who planned funerals because of this one.
From the picture he was trying to run towards the bushes when the hit squad move in but it was to late.
Too much weed by time he sprint forward he lungs start coughing lol
Sad to see women and young girls are also smoking oh well
I really want to see if they’re going to see he was a good man and we will see him in heaven at the funeral
They will learn that that YOLO saying is not true for those who have eternal life in Heaven by being obedient to God.
It is not automatic entry into Heaven and it is time they stop thinking and saying they’re looking down, they’re an angel, etc. and the pastors who say that need to stop that nonsense too!!
People need to get off social media and read their Bible about eternal life and eternal damnation.
Can’t expect to follow satan and be accepted into God’s Kingdom.
Who vex better go and read their Bible.
God spoke…. that’s it and that’s ALL!!
Cal u going to get AR12
Get the painter girl to paint him on the wall in his house next to puppy 6 and wock Dan now they can live great in hell
Lol the portraits sucked!! I though his pendant was his grandmother only to find out it looks like him! Lol fruity lil Thang!
Also thought the pendant was a pic of his grandmother
we love to play God and know where people go after they die, i hope you know where you headed.
We may be rid of a bad person.
But do we want this gun law to go on forever?
They actually took West Bank out. As hard as this is to believe from the day he step out of prison he was a dead man walking. His lawyer should have known that. No more stack of money for you Mr. Lawyer.
It’s sad the young men in the BVI don’t want to work for an honest living. Sadder is the fact that our young ladies are goal diggers who love to ride the drug money train. will be in hiding for a while now that the cats out hunting.
That is a fact. West Bank killing is bigger and deeper than BH killing. Time for you females that is out here conning, running games, sob stories, alligator tears cause y’all done step up a rank from the crocodile tears moments time for you B to go out and grind for your own S. And I ain’t talking about the strip pole or spreading your legs and sucking ….s for a couple of dollars and a drink at the seedy clubs. Some of you B need to stop with fake lives flossing you look stupid and the joke is on you. Just like how the men you are running with is dropping out here in the streets it is only a matter of time they are going to come after you. STOP THE F FAKE LIVES FLOSSING.THE S BETWEEN YOUR LEGS IS NOT THAT GOOD NO MATTER HOW MUCH TIME YOU WASH DOWN THERE WITH HONEY AND CINNAMON.
Bruh! Them “Snooze” chicks are the same ones going be laying down with them goon men. It doesn’t matter how much cameras in place, dark-out vehicles you ride around in and night time movements you fools make…KARMA WET, WET, WET – OUTSIDEEEEEEE!
For $6.50 and hour!
Dude had a lot of people who claim to be business men in his pockets. TAXI DRIVERS, SAFARI DRIVERS BUSINESS OWNERS CAR RENTALS PROMOTERS BIG HOUSES ON THE HILLSIDE OWNERS SPEED BOAT OWNERS NIGHTCLUB AND STRIP CLUB OWNERS AND THE LIST GOES ON AND ON.
The well has dried up. The new ones that is setting up shop is going to have a whole new set of street rules. They are going to own and control you and the business. West Bank messed up when he broke certain rules of the street code so they had to take him out. And this is the type of life some of you glorify and get into? two things for sure in a gangster’s life, PRISON OR PUSHING UP DASIES.
You can be walking around with bodyguards but the enemy can still get to you if you are the target. They cancel Bob Hodge now they cancel West Bank.
Is west is who pay to kill B?
Yes
GO AND ASK B WIFE WA WENT DOWN FROM HERE TALKING F**KERY HOW MANY PEOPLE B MOTHER A** DONE KILL LET THE MAN ROT IN PEACE GAME OVER
