Part I
Executive Summary
The convergence of documented facts exceeds statistical probability for coincidental occurrence.
Principal Finding
In March 2025, Haiti's unelected Transitional Presidential Council signed a contract with Vectus Global, a private military company owned by Erik Prince (founder of Blackwater). No Haitian official has publicly admitted signing this contract. Haiti's Court of Accounts has "no formal information" about it. The contract signatory, Fritz Alphonse Jean, was subsequently sanctioned by the United States for "supporting gangs."
The contract grants Vectus a 10-year customs revenue extraction mechanism with fees 3-6x the industry standard... the only historical parallels being the British East India Company and the British South Africa Company. Over 10 years, this mechanism will extract an estimated $1.92 billion from the Western Hemisphere's poorest nation.
In exchange, after 12 months of operations: zero gang leaders eliminated, zero territory reclaimed, 559 civilians killed including 11 children.
The Critical Connection: Erik Prince was introduced to Haiti by Reuven Bigio, CEO of GB Group, whose father Gilbert Bigio is sanctioned by Canada for arms trafficking support through the family's Port Lafito... the same port with 5+ documented arms seizures and zero prosecutions since 2019. The same family that arms the gangs introduced the man hired to fight them.

Three Analytical Hypotheses
| Hypothesis | Description | Probability |
|---|
| H1: Coincidental Convergence | Bad actors naturally intersect in a failed state | LOW |
| H2: Network Coordination | Connected actors in shared oligarchic ecosystem | MODERATE-HIGH |
| H3: Problem-Solution Architecture | Arms create instability; instability creates PMC demand; same network profits from both | MODERATE |
Part II
The Contract: Ghost Signatures and Colonial Terms
A $50 million contract that no one admits signing.
Contract Structure
The Vectus-Haiti arrangement consists of two parallel agreements:
| Component | Duration | Value | Mechanism |
|---|
| Security Contract | 1 year | $50M | Counter-gang operations, drone deployment, training |
| Customs/Revenue Contract | 10 years | $1.87B (estimated) | 20%/15% commission + 3% fixed fee on imports |
Revenue Extraction Terms
| Period | Commission on "Increases" | Fixed Fee | Effective Rate |
|---|
| Years 1-3 | 20% of customs revenue increases | 3% on import volumes | ~23% extraction coefficient |
| Years 4-10 | 15% of customs revenue increases | 3% on import volumes | ~18% extraction coefficient |
The Signature Gap
CRITICAL FINDING: No Haitian official has publicly confirmed signing the Vectus contract.
| Official | Position | Statement |
|---|
| Fritz Alphonse Jean | CPT President (Mar-Aug 2025) | "No one in my office has knowledge of this initiative" |
| Laurent Saint-Cyr | Current CPT President | "Not aware of the signing of such a contract" |
| Alix Didier Fils-Aime | Prime Minister | NO RESPONSE |
| CSCCA (Court of Accounts) | Audit Institution | "Ne dispose d'aucune information formelle" |
"It is important to emphasize that no one in my office has knowledge of this initiative. The persistent rumors about this matter should concern all CPT members, as they raise serious concerns."
Fritz Alphonse Jean, Former CPT President (later US-sanctioned for "supporting gangs")
The contradiction: Jean confirmed in June 2025 that "the government was using foreign contractors" but declined to identify the firm. By August, he claimed to be "completely unaware of the existence of an alleged 10-year contract." This contradiction is legally significant: he either signed the contract and is lying, or the contract was signed without proper CPT authorization.
Constitutional Invalidity
| Provision | Requirement | Violation |
|---|
| Article 60-1 | No cession of sovereign powers | Security + customs = sovereign functions delegated to foreign PMC |
| Article 139 | National Assembly ratification for customs | No parliament since January 2023 |
| Article 263-1 | No unauthorized armed corps | Vectus operates as armed force without constitutional basis |
| TPC Authority | Transitional mandate expired Feb 7, 2026 | Cannot bind Haiti to 10-year extraction |
Part III
The Network: Bigio-Prince-Vectus Nexus
Same family arms the gangs and introduced the man hired to fight them.
The Introduction
"People familiar with Prince's arrival say he was introduced in Haiti by Reuven Bigio, the CEO of the GB Group, a company founded by Gilbert Bigio, an uber rich Haitian businessman who was sanctioned by Canada in 2022 along with other prominent members of the economic elite."

The Shared Lobbyist
Jake Johnston (CEPR) documented that when PM Fils-Aime hired former Trump advisor Carlos Trujillo as a lobbyist, Trujillo was also representing Reuven Bigio's GB Group conglomerate. For the first 6 months of 2025, the PM and Bigio shared a lobbyist. This overlaps precisely with the contract negotiation period.
| Entity | Registrant | FARA Filing | Overlap Period |
|---|
| PM Fils-Aime | TSG Advocates | Haiti government | First 6 months 2025 |
| Reuven Bigio / GB Group | TSG Advocates | GB Group | First 6 months 2025 |
| Institut Macaya (Barreau) | TSG Advocates | $30,000 contract | Overlapping |
Institut Macaya: The Lobbying Front
Jake Johnston (CEPR) found that Institut Macaya's website was registered just days after Reuven Bigio's father was sanctioned by Canada. The oligarch lobbying organization was formed as a response to sanctions, not independently.
| Member | Position | Government Role |
|---|
| Olivier Barreau | Founder, BUH CEO | AIC President |
| Laurent Saint-Cyr | Member | Current CPT President |
| Reuven Bigio | Member | GB Group CEO (Prince introducer) |
| Bernard Handal | Member | Economic elite |
The "Double Deckers"
BUH (Banque de l'Union Haitienne) connects the private sector to the executive branch:
- Olivier Barreau = BUH CEO + AIC President
- PM Alix Didier Fils-Aime = sat on BUH board before becoming PM
- Laurent Saint-Cyr = worked 15 years for Alternative Insurance (Barreau is CEO)
"When the private sector controls both branches of the executive, it raises legitimate concerns."
Fritz Alphonse Jean, Former CPT President
Arnel Joseph Confession
Gang leader testimony naming Bigio directly:
"The war was waging between Deeb and Bigio who had launched the gangs"
Arnel Joseph, former Artibonite gang leader (now deceased, killed in prison)
Bigio-Epstein Connection
Gilbert Bigio purchased Jeffrey Epstein's Mercedes Maybach for $132,000 (2020), documented in a 418-page Epstein estate filing reported by ICIJ/Miami Herald Pandora Papers investigation. The Bigio family holds $31M+ in offshore trusts (Pandora Papers) and owns a $3M Bal Harbour mansion.
Part IV
Port Lafito: Arms Entry with Systematic Impunity
Five seizures. Thirty-six thousand rounds. Zero prosecutions.
Seizure Timeline

| Romel Bell | Former AGD Director General | Arrest warrant: terrorism financing |
| Gerald Remplais | Current AGD Director General | Under investigation |
Both the former AND current heads of Haiti's customs authority are either arrested or under investigation for financial crimes related to their oversight of ports including Port Lafito.
Night Boat Shuttles
"Des bateaux font la navette la nuit entre Village de Dieu et Lafito"
("Boats shuttle at night between Village de Dieu and Lafito")
AyiboPost investigative report
Village de Dieu is gang-controlled territory. Night shuttles between a gang stronghold and Port Lafito indicate ongoing coordination between the port and armed groups.

The EEDTM Extraction Analysis
The mathematics of extraction, applied to a modern colonial contract.
EEDTM Variable Mapping
| Variable | Name | Vectus Value | Meaning |
|---|
| ε (epsilon) | Extraction Coefficient | 0.23 | 23% of customs increase + 3% fixed |
| Γ (gamma) | Differential Targeting | 1.0 | Sovereign-level: entire nation targeted |
| Θ (theta) | Elite Concentration | 0.95+ | 95% flows to Vectus shareholders |
| V | Total Value at Risk | $4.75B | $750M customs + $4B imports |
| T | Time Factor | 10 years | Contract duration |
| Φ (phi) | Upstream Constant | 0.40 | Financier's guaranteed cut |
E(t) = [α × ΔR(t)] + [β × I(t)] + F
Where:
E(t) = Extraction at time t
α = Commission rate (0.20 for t≤3, 0.15 for t>3)
ΔR(t) = Customs revenue "increase" at time t
β = Fixed fee rate (0.03)
I(t) = Import value at time t
F = Fixed operational fee ($50M year 1)
10-Year Integration (Moderate Scenario):
Total = Σ[t=1 to 10] E(t) = $1,920,000,000
Extraction Scenarios
| Scenario | 10-Year Total | Annual Average | % of Haiti GDP | Per Haitian |
|---|
| Conservative | $947M | $94.7M | 0.38% | $175 |
| Moderate (Most Likely) | $1.92B | $192M | 0.76% | $356 |
| Aggressive | $3.05B | $305M | 1.21% | $565 |
Context: Haiti GDP per capita is $675. The moderate scenario extracts 53% of one year's per-capita GDP from every Haitian over 10 years. 95% of any improvement flows to Vectus. Haiti keeps 5%.
Industry Deviation
| Comparison | Fee Rate | Context |
|---|
| Industry Standard (Crown Agents) | 0.5-1% | Normal customs outsourcing |
| SGS-Cotecna Pakistan | 6-10% | Resulted in criminal convictions |
| Vectus Haiti | 20-23% | 2-3x criminal kickback rate |
Historical Parallels
| Entity | Model | Security + Customs? | Match |
|---|
| Modern PMCs | Fee-for-service | NO | Not comparable |
| Crown Agents | 0.5-1% fee | NO | Not comparable |
| Wagner Group | 25-year mining | PARTIAL | Full extraction |
| British South Africa Co. | Army + tax + mining | YES | EXACT MATCH |
| East India Company | 260K soldiers + taxation | YES | EXACT MATCH |
The ONLY historical parallels to a combined security + customs collection arrangement are colonial-era chartered companies.

Named Victims: Birthday Party Strike (September 20, 2025)
Children killed (8):
- Merika, age 4
- Olguine Florvil, age 7
- Samira Nelson, age 8
- Two grandchildren of Michelin Florville, ages 3 and 7
- Three additional children, ages 2-10
Adults killed (3): St-Jean Limonthard (33), son of Michelin Florville (32), one pregnant woman (unnamed).
Witnesses identified: Claudia Bobrun (mother of Samira Nelson) has video evidence.
NO LAWSUITS HAVE BEEN FILED BY VICTIMS AS OF MARCH 2026. This represents a first-mover litigation opportunity.
Pattern Match: South Sudan FSG (2014)
Erik Prince's Frontier Services Group in South Sudan followed the identical pattern: over-promise, under-deliver, contract terminated. The South Sudan experience demonstrates this is not anomalous but characteristic of Prince's operational model.
Part VII
The Human Cost: Mortality Impact
71,290 to 86,850 preventable deaths. This is not metaphor. These are bodies.
Opportunity Cost of $1.92B
Using WHO-validated cost-effectiveness ratios for healthcare interventions in developing countries ($2,500 per death averted, conservative middle estimate), the human cost of the Vectus extraction:
| Category | Low Estimate | High Estimate |
|---|
| Preventable deaths | 71,290 | 86,850 |
| Children under 5 | 43,370 | 52,080 |
| Mothers in childbirth | 2,500 | 3,125 |
| Unbirthed lives (fertility impact) | 14,750 | 22,500 |
| Life-years lost | 2,138,700 | 2,605,500 |
Haiti Baseline Mortality
| Metric | Rate | Annual Deaths | Source |
|---|
| Total deaths (all causes) | 8.24/1,000 | 93,023 | UN Population |
| Maternal mortality | 350/100,000 births | 625 | WHO/PAHO |
| Under-5 mortality | 81/1,000 births | 14,457 | UNICEF |
| Infant mortality | 59/1,000 births | 10,531 | UNICEF |
$1.92 billion diverted to Erik Prince instead of Haiti's health system = 86,850 preventable deaths over 10 years. That is 24 Haitians per day who will die because their government is paying a mercenary instead of investing in their survival.
Part VIII
FAd'H: Coup-Era Officers in Command
7 of 8 High Command officers appear on the 1994 US sanctions list.
The 220-Year Failure Pattern
Haiti's military has never functioned as intended in its entire 220-year history. The current FAd'H, reconstituted in 2017-2018, is staffed by the same individuals who caused previous failures:
- Derby Guerrier (Commander-in-Chief): 1993 US sanctions; Cedras entourage; headed anti-drug unit during period when drug trafficking "took off"
- Jonas Jean (Deputy Commander): Commanded troops during the Gonaives Massacre (1991)
- Jean-Robert Gabriel (Inspector General): CONVICTED of the Raboteau Massacre; returned after 2004 coup
Budget Anomaly
| Metric | Finding |
|---|
| Per-soldier cost | $53,000-83,000/year |
| Actual soldier salary | $3,600/year |
| Unexplained gap | $60M+ unaccounted |
| Audit status | NONE - off-budget accounts documented |
1995 Demobilization Alumni
The failed 1995 demobilization program produced the individuals who went on to destabilize Haiti:
- Guy Philippe - Led 2004 coup, later convicted of drug trafficking
- Chamblain - FRAPH paramilitary, 2004 coup participant
- Gabriel - Raboteau convicted, now FAd'H Inspector General
- Guerrier - Current FAd'H Commander-in-Chief

|---|
| H1: Problem-Solution | PLAUSIBLE | STRONG | Arnel Joseph confession naming Bigio |
| H2: Contract Fraud | UNKNOWN | STRONG | No one admits signing; CSCCA has no records |
| H3: Ammunition Control | PLAUSIBLE | PLAUSIBLE | Arcahaie incident partially validates |
| H4: BAM BAM Cartel | PARTIAL | STRONG | Shared lobbyist; Institut Macaya |
Boulos Detention: The Cooperation Signal
Reginald Boulos was arrested July 17, 2025 at his $1.4M Boca Raton residence by ICE HSI. He is detained at Krome. ICE charged that he "engaged in a campaign of violence and gang support that contributed to Haiti's destabilization." His cryptic statement: "Others will be joining him."
If Boulos cooperates, his testimony could implicate the broader oligarch network in gang financing.
Haiti Criminal Collusion Transparency Act
Passed December 17, 2025 (NDAA FY2026). The US Government is now legally required to report within 180 days on elite-gang connections in Haiti. The report must identify political and economic elites connected to gangs and HOW they use those connections. The President MUST impose sanctions on identified actors. Report due approximately June 2026.
Part X
The 1825 Structural Parallel
The parallel is mathematical, not metaphorical.
In 1825, France deployed 14 warships to Haiti and demanded payment of 150 million gold francs (later reduced to 90 million) as the "price of freedom." Haiti paid for 122 years, ending in 1947. The mechanism: a percentage of government revenue extracted by a foreign power under military duress.
In 2025, Vectus Global deployed 200+ personnel and drones to Haiti under a contract granting it a percentage of government customs revenue for 10 years. The mechanism is structurally identical:
| Element | 1825 | 2025 |
|---|
| Mechanism | % of revenue to France | % of revenue to Vectus |
| Enforcement | 14 warships | 200+ PMC personnel + drones |
| Duration | 122 years | 10 years (minimum, extendable) |
| % of government revenue | ~80% at peak | 10-25% of customs |
| Accountability | To France | To nobody documented |
| Consent | Duress (gunboats) | Duress (gangs) + unelected government |
| Who signed | Boyer (under threat) | Unknown (not disclosed) |
| EEDTM Θ | 0.86 | 0.95 |
| Present value | $100-170 billion | $1.92 billion |
The difference: In 1825, we know who signed (Boyer). In 2025, no one admits signing. The 2025 contract has less transparency than the 1825 indemnity imposed at gunpoint.

| Treasury Referral (Venezuela sanctions) | Possible Maduro sanctions violations (2019) |
| Austria Indictment (Libya arms) | Charged under War Material Act; pleaded not guilty |
Behavioral Pattern
- Serial entity creation - Creates new companies when old ones become toxic
- Jurisdiction shopping - UAE, Hong Kong, offshore structures
- Opacity preference - Vectus has NO public registration in Delaware, Virginia, Wyoming, UK, or OpenCorporates
- Political access - Trump donor, Bannon, Kushner, MBZ personal relationship
- Risk tolerance - Libya embargo violations ($80M), Venezuela coup proposal, Xinjiang training center
Libya Arms Embargo Violations (2019)
UN Report documented $80 million in weapons to Haftar via "Project Opus," including helicopters, drones, cyber capabilities, and a component to "kidnap or terminate" high-value targets. At least 4 countries opened criminal probes. Prince denied involvement.

Part XIII
Seven Routes to Contract Termination
Combined probability of success: >95%. Execute all routes.
Route Summary
| Route | Mechanism | EEDTM Effect | Recovery Potential | Priority |
|---|
| 1. Contract Breach | Termination for cause (0 results) | ε → 0 | $1.7B + $14.5M | TIER 1 |
| 2. Constitutional | Article 60-1 challenge | Void ab initio | $1.92B (full) | TIER 1 |
| 3. ITAR Enforcement | Federal arms export violations | ε illegal | $100M+ fines | TIER 1 |
| 4. Civil Litigation | Victim wrongful death claims | Θ liable | $3.5B-$16B | TIER 2 |
| 5. Congressional | Political pressure | Indirect | Policy change | TIER 2 |
| 6. International | UN, IACHR mechanisms | Indirect | Precedent | TIER 3 |
| 7. Reputational | Media/public pressure | Indirect | Deterrence | TIER 3 |
Route 1: Contract Breach (Simplest Path)
Material Breach exists when:
ε (extraction) > 0 AND
Value created = 0 AND
Contract purpose = security improvement
All three conditions met. Material breach proven mathematically.
Contract Value = Benefits - Extraction
For Vectus: Value = 0 - $1.92B = -$1.92B
Haiti receives NEGATIVE value from this contract.
Route 2: Constitutional Challenge (Strongest Legal Basis)
Article 60-1 of Haiti's Constitution expressly prohibits delegation of sovereign powers. Security and customs collection are quintessentially sovereign functions. The contract was signed by an unelected transitional body whose mandate expired February 7, 2026. Under the Tinoco Arbitration (1923) precedent, contracts signed by illegitimate regimes are voidable.
Route 4: Civil Litigation (Largest Recovery)
| Category | Conservative | Moderate | Aggressive |
|---|
| Wrongful death (559 lives) | $559M | $2.0B | $2.8B |
| Children (11 lives, enhanced) | $22M | $55M | $110M |
| Pain/suffering | $280M | $550M | $1.1B |
| Punitive (CACI ratio) | $2.6B | $6B | $12B |
| TOTAL | $3.5B | $8.6B | $16B |
FOIA Requests (Ready to File)
| Target | Content | Status |
|---|
| State Department | ITAR license status for Vectus Haiti operations | READY |
| DHS/CBP | Contract details, CBP coordination | READY |
| Canada Global Affairs | Bigio sanctions evidence package | HIGH PRIORITY |
| US Treasury/OFAC | Bigio designation consideration files | HIGH PRIORITY |
Part XIV
The Alternative: Sovereign Military Reconstruction
Same budget. 3.4x more jobs. $1.7B more retained in Haiti. Θ approaches zero.
Extractive vs. Sovereign Model
| Factor | Vectus Model | Sovereign Alternative |
|---|
| Budget | $64M | $64M (same) |
| To Vectus/extraction | ~$44M | $0 |
| Haitian jobs | 1,200 | 4,100 |
| 10-year retention in Haiti | ~$100M | $608M |
| Training infrastructure | None | Academies built |
| Leadership | Coup-era recycled | New generation (post-1980) |
| EEDTM Θ | 0.95 | → 0 |
The sovereign model retains $1.7 billion more in Haiti over 10 years with 3.4x more Haitian employment, training infrastructure, and new-generation leadership... all for the same $64M budget. The difference is that Θ (elite concentration) approaches zero instead of 0.95.
Part XV
Evidence Gaps and Collection Priorities

Appendix A
ICIJ Offshore Leaks & OFAC Screening Results
BARSS Intelligence Pipeline cross-reference against 494K entities, 929K officers, 3.5M relationships.
Erik Prince: Paradise Papers (Barbados)
| Record | Database | Jurisdiction |
|---|
| PRINCE* ERIK D | Paradise Papers | Barbados |
| PRINCE ERIK D. | Paradise Papers | Barbados |
| PRINCE ERIK D. | Paradise Papers | Barbados |
Three officer records confirm Prince's presence in Barbados-connected offshore structures via the Paradise Papers (Appleby leak, 2017). This is consistent with his documented pattern of jurisdiction shopping (UAE, Hong Kong, Bermuda, Bahamas).
Bigio Family: Paradise + Pandora Papers
| Name | Records | Database | Intermediary |
|---|
| Gilbert Bigio | 5 | Paradise Papers (1) + Pandora Papers (4) | Alcogal (Pandora) |
| Reuven S. Bigio | 2 | Paradise Papers | Barbados structures |
| Sarah Laurence Bigio | 1 | Paradise Papers | Barbados (family cluster) |
ALCOGAL CONVERGENCE CONFIRMED: Gilbert Bigio's Pandora Papers records route through Aleman, Cordero, Galindo & Lee (Alcogal), the same Panamanian law firm used by the Brandt and Acra families (other BAM BAM members). This independently confirms the shared offshore infrastructure pattern identified in the BAM BAM evidence compilation.
The Barbados cluster (Gilbert, Reuven S., Sarah Laurence) represents a family offshore structure accessed via the same intermediary, consistent with the $31M+ in trusts documented by ICIJ's Pandora Papers investigation and the $3M Bal Harbour mansion.
Broader Bigio Surname Search (17 Records)

Prince Entity Searches (Negative Results)
| Entity Searched | ICIJ Result | OFAC SDN |
|---|
| Vectus Global | Not found (generic "Vectus" matches unrelated) | CLEAR |
| Evergreen Trading | 6 generic matches (Niue, Bahamas, Nevis) | CLEAR |
| Frontier Services Group | 4 generic matches (none confirmed FSG) | CLEAR |
| Blackwater | 17 generic matches (common name) | CLEAR |
| Erik Prince (personal) | 3 officer records (above) | CLEAR |
Significance of negative OFAC results: Erik Prince and all associated entities are not on the US sanctions list despite: (a) Libya arms embargo violations documented by the UN, (b) perjury referral by House Intelligence Committee, (c) Treasury referral for Venezuela sanctions violations, (d) FSG placed on Commerce Entity List (2023), and (e) Austria indictment for War Material Act violations. This mirrors the US non-sanctioning of Gilbert Bigio despite Canadian action on the same evidence.
Prince Corporate Opacity: 30+ Shell Companies
The Prince Offshore Entities report (January 19, 2026) documented the following corporate structure:
| Entity | Jurisdiction | Purpose |
|---|
| Double E Ranch LLC | Wyoming | Personal/asset holding |
| Moyock Medical Supplies LLC | Wyoming | Near Blackwater HQ location |
| Westcomi LLC | Delaware | Corporate vehicle |
| Jones Creek LLC | Delaware | Corporate vehicle |
| CMNS Systems LLC | Delaware | Corporate vehicle |
| 2USV LLC | Wyoming | El Salvador contractor pipeline |
| R2 / Reflex Responses | UAE | $529M mercenary force |
| FSG (Frontier Services Group) | Hong Kong | CITIC-backed; now on Entity List |
| Vectus Global | UNKNOWN | No registration found anywhere |
| Evergreen Trading System | UNKNOWN | Customs component; no registration |
Libya template (Project Opus, 2019): Prince used 10 shell companies across 4 countries to channel $80M in weapons to Haftar. Aircraft were laundered through cascading shell transfers. This template is directly applicable to understanding the Vectus/Evergreen corporate opacity.
