It may have a government that is more corrupt than some African countries.
The idiot who was governor when I was there was getting ready to retire after I had left St. Thomas. He was the guy in his 70's or 80's who allegedly had a nose candy problem.
Just before he left office he pardoned some convicted murderers doing life who were involved in a hijacking if I remember correctly that happened back in the 80's. This even outraged the locals down there, but too late. A pardon is a pardon. I wonder what changed hands (allegedly) to make him do that?
You become a senator poor and leave a millionaire.
