An article in this morning’s New York Times has more detail. It says that Fahie met with the CI on April 7 and “The source then gave Mr. Fahie $20,000 and said, “This is a good faith gift, to seal that we have an agreement.” The article also implies a broader conspiracy beyond the three people who have already been arrested.

Between this and the recent charter boat impoundings, the BVI has had a run of terrible PR. It’s a shame to see. The vast majority of the people and businesses deserve much better than this. I hope that all this and the impending COI report create a real turnaround.
