Not quite as funny as the John Kerry yacht situation, but a lot more money involved.

I wonder if this is the same Wealthy Hedge Fund guy that Barney Frank took plane rides to the Bahamas from in 2008 or 09. The guy was also engaged to a Congresswoman at the time. I think they are now married.
I heard that it is against Congressional rules to ride in private planes.

U.S. Rep. Barney Frank didnt get just a free luxury jet ride to the Virgin Islands with a financier who got a $200 million federal bailout, he also stayed at the billionaires tropical mansion, his aide said.
Theyre friends. Are you not supposed to have friends if theyre wealthy? Frank spokesman Harry Gural said of the Newton Democrats relationship with S. Donald Sussman.
The Herald reported yesterday that Frank, chairman of the House Financial Services Committee, flew to the Virgin Islands last Christmas on Sussmans $25 million Dassault Falcon 2000EX luxury jet.

“I wonder if this is the same Wealthy Hedge Fund guy that Barney Frank took plane rides to the Bahamas..”
I was thinking the same thing. How come there is not mention of Barney’s involvement with this guy?

I'm beginning to suspect zero's attitude and demeaner has set off a storm of inquiry that will ... not will threaten ... but will .. take down the commie nation within our borders.
If it doesn't, they're gonna' have to work overtime on our kids to get THIS surge of patriotic data wiped from their minds.
God help us.

Great Cruz Bay is on St John, not over in Red Hook! I guess he could have 2 homes 3 NM apart but something really stinks!

So, Clellie Pingree (D ME) you live and sleep with a billionaire, Sussman, who cheats on his taxes by claiming that he lives elsewhere, not with you, not in your bed.
You Rep. Pingree are a cheap whore!
Do you understand “WHORE”??

i used to live on STX, sold my property there in 2006, and i am here to tell you... the USVI is the closed thing to a banana republic under the US flag there is.
Captain Morgan's Spiced Rum just moved from PR to STX cause they got a better tax deal deal...
