VI ruling class and flexible morality

At the very core of VI culture is a tolerance for flexible morality. The idea is not to get caught. But what if everyone knows? The entire Virgin Islands turned blind eyes to Epstein and his pedophile and predatory behavior for a little money. 

tolerance of bad behavior in exchange for bribes is built into the culture of the VI. You have to know this before you relocate to the VI. It will affect you.

This is so true! It manifests itself in so many ways and is a daily consideration, especially if you own a business. Even something as simple as getting your vehicles registered every year can be made vastly easier and less time consuming if you know how to get the grease to the right palms. In the VI, its definitely...who you know.

I don't understand, Where was the Attorney General and the Inspector General during all this corruption? Were their offices asleep or just incompetent to not see this obvious corruption. The only remedy is to vote all these people out of office but we know that wont happen

They only see what they want to see...if it somehow benefits them.
