Another rich J'can under US probe

A Jamaican businessman who authorities said stashed US$83 million in several financial institutions in the United States is now the subject of intense scrutiny by investigators from at least three investigative arms of US law enforcement.

The investigators have tied the businessman to every known Jamaican 'don' -- some deceased -- going back more than 15 years.

The man, who lives in one of Jamaica's swanky, upper-class communities, is described as being "filthy rich, making his millions quicker than Warren Buffett," according to one US investigator who is on his trail here. Buffett is ranked among the top three richest men in the world.

The man appears to have great affection for Florida, as a substantial portion of his money is said to be stashed in that state.

"We are certain that monies from one of the businessman's accounts paid for guns in the United States, as well as ammunition that were shipped to Jamaica. We believe that in an effort to throw off investigators, overseas accounts were used to pay for guns and ammunition, and the cash from drugs sold in the US was lodged to the businessman's account," the investigator told the Sunday Observer.
