The Seychelles is often seen as a paradise by investors flocking to the islands to start businesses and live their lives in tropical luxury. However, a scandal alleging corruption, extortion and blackmail is growing within these paradise islands that has reached courtrooms in the US, as the employees of the Financial Intelligence Unit go about their daily work.
Although the name of the FIU and its background information lead those looking into the company to believe this is a government agency, it is in fact a corporate body making large profits off the misfortune of business owners in the Seychelles. The question many investors in the Seychelles are asking is why the government of this nation in the Indian Ocean sits back and allows businesses to be blackmailed by the FIU.
