Philipsburg:--- Police arrested an employee of the Windward Islands Bank last week for embezzlement and fraud confirmed Chief Prosecutor Hans Mos.
The employee who was working in the Credit Card department has been identified as Winia Antoine who abused her power in the department and stole the monies from the bank.
Mos said the suspect was in charge of monitoring credit cards and instead she misused her power, since Antoine was the one in charge, the warning bells did not go off when the suspect withdrew the money. Mos said the bank filed an official complaint when they realized that the employee embezzled money from the bank.
The suspect was arrested last week Friday and her detention has been extended. The suspect also confessed to stealing the money the Chief Prosecutor said.

    This is when you can't be trusted.

    Probably stole it from people also who can't afford it.

    Did she buy a house?
    Or was it for dress, weave, nails, and a big car.

    This is sad, is she a local St.Maartener?

    I'm speechless: her full name, and even her photo on this site before she is convicted. I wonder how the prosecuter is going to react.

    The person who are putting this lady picture online just remember it may not be today but some day your turn is going to come. and when it do just remember what you did to this lady and her family.

    This is not a mistake fools! This was something that was continuing over the years. If you calling such actions of a big greypuss thiefing woman a mistake, then I feel sorry for your children.

    Give me her position, i am unemployed!!!!

  • WIB costumer
    avatar

    Nothing justifies stealing. If the lady needed cash so bad she could have arranged something with her employer. WIB would have loved to a**ist her, seen the very good position she has in the bank. Fact of the matter is that she did it for spite, for the greed and thought nobody would have noticed.
    "Thou shall not steal", WIB fire this lady, because we don't feel safe anymore. Lock her up and make sure that she never gets such a responsible position anymore !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Is she a local girl?????????

    The name don't sound so.
    She must have been one with big contacts.

    WIB is getting so many problems, lately.

    Is it safe to bank with them anymore?

    There is alway credit card scandals etc.

    WIB, please explain your customers, as we wre worried.

    everyone s going thru hardship.

    I quite agree she is wrong, but we all fall short of thy glory. We all at some point in time or maybe even yet to come have succomed to temptation. Can you really judge yourself honestly. We are all Christ childeren, why do we celebrate in someone else misfortune.

    Just remember those who get caught now got to answer to man and be punished by man. Those who got away yet got to answer to GOD and be punish by GOD. I pray GOD's grace and mercy on us all.

    avatar

    If she has confessed to the crime then she deserves to be punished and her name/ picture to be plastered all over this site. The act is bad in itself but she has violated people's trust.
    Are we to show mercy where she has shown none? Yes.....I am sure the credit cardholders have not left WIB and that is enough mercy in itself.

    that was no mistake for her to steal that long amount of money.dam

  • dragon
    avatar

    i think the lady was greedy but when you put her name and photo on the site and mention her family, you are hurting her entire family for something she did. maybe the didn't even know what went down. she should be punished for what she did. why should her family? please people have some respect and consideration for others.

  • RIGHT YOU ARE
    avatar

    TO DRAGON
    YOU ARE SO RIGHT.
    HER FAMILY IS NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR WHAT SHE DID AS AN INDIVIDUAL, UNLEES THEY HAVE PROOF SHE HELPED SOME OF THEM.

    WE ARE NOT OUR BROTHER OR SISTER KEEPER/
    THE BIBLE SAYS SO.

    THIS LADY IS RESPONSIBLE FOR HER OWN ACTIONS.

    I AM HOWEVER SURPRISED AT THE AMOUNT OF PROBLEMS WIB IS HAVING LATELY.
    IS THERE NO CONTROL.

    AND IF YOU ASK THEM FOR A LOAN THERE IS MORE RED TAPE THAN THE MAN IN THE MOON.

    THAT ALSO COMES WHEN YOU LEAVE ONE PERSON IN A COMFORT ZONE TOO LONG.

    THE FRENCH BANKS HAVE HAD IT ALSO.

    BANK STAFF MONITOR PEOPLE ACCOUNTS AND KEEP MOVING AROUND, WHEN YOU ARE SAVING THEY ARE
    USING IT, AND MOVE PETER TO PAUL.

    Big celebration for the IDIOTS, feasting off someone's downfall. Who are we to judge anyone, when we all have sinned. What the lady did she will pay for just like the rest of us. But why put her picture up, and why rejoice. Forgive us all Lord, and be mercifull to us. Humans have no mercy left in them.

    Hi,


    First and for most i condem the fact of yall putting the lady picture up there one day if its you i hope they run you down with name all over on bulletin boards and everything.

    if you where such a woman or a man u should put your real name u wimp.

    not to promote what the lady did buh the woman needs to live how many of you black fool have made mistakes in ur life buh no one still dont know

    secondly to the owner of this web page u know better not to promote such junk on your news page yall are good for who you want buh one thing for sure ill keep praying for all of u! :sad:

  • reader
    avatar

    Yes, i agree with some, but also stop throwing people business on the internet, leave that punishment for the judge.

    That's black un educated fools sxm still have living here. When it's election time, they take all kind of gifts, vote and then live a horror life, complaining about low salary, Gebe high, gasoline expensive, food prices not controlled, grow up people.

    Life is hard, if your mind is weak, then these things happens, put pictures of those whose raping small children and young girls, that's more important. She did not killed anybody, it's just money, you can pay back money, but not life, rape and so on...

    Anyway behave like people.

    I do believe the owner or one in charge of this web/page very unprofessional. For the simply fact any one can write anything about person, because they do not have to write their name neither their "email". I do believe that the owner or person in charge of this Web Page should make it obligatory for the person or persons writing in this blog to write their name and email. In doing so persons writing will be more careful. Thank you.

  • Mr. Justice
    avatar

    This is for the record. In every newspaper with exeption of "smn-news" the owner or persons incharge asked at the end of each related topic that the person or persons who wants to write about that topic must write his/her name and email. What I have noticed so far is that someone seldoms writes. So there is no gossip or betrayal.

  • say what!!!!!!!
    avatar

    i dont care how hard, a person life is you dont thief from the hands that feed you, now she is out a job and God if she have children they gonna feel bad , because children in school going to laugh at them, no matter how had it is get a loan, well yeah she did get a loan, becuase she was trying to pay it back.
    yes we all make mistake fine, but man stealing so much, how on earth is she going to pay for that back, i only hope it was worth it,but one thing the job should have keep her in an other department and let her work off the money, becuase how much jail can she get, sxm jail is like holiday.

  • HONEST
    avatar

    All you fools feeling sorry for this lady must be crazy. She STOLE money from the bank. I do not care about her personal life, her family whatsoever. This is a CRIME, the same like when a masked thief goes to the bank with a weapon to STEAL. The only difference is that she was a thrusted employer and WIB allowed her to manage the accounts of WE SXM accountholders. Put into considerarion that her family might also be involved in stimulating the act !!!! You never know. I have nothing against this website naming criminals and putting their pics online. This should be stimulated to reduce such dishonest actions. Bare in mind that the WIB is going to suffer a great financial loss, because a lot of local and off island accountholders will stop their banking realtionships. I am one of them. She should be fired and NOT rerouted to another department, what thrust do you have in such an employee???
    All fools talking about "mistakes", "GOD's mercy "and "poor lady " whatsoever are potential thieves and capable of doing the same if they had her job, because all of you do not see what a serious CRIME this lady committed !!
    LOCK HER UP AND INVESTIGATE ALSO HER FAMILY WHETHER THERE WAS INVOLVEMENT, BASTA !!!!!!!!

  • dragon
    avatar

    to honest, you are real ignorant. if a thief tries to rob a bank with a gun, he should be shot but would you also shoot his family just in case they knew about it? (a lot of account holders will stop doing business with the bank). how do you know that? because you choose to stop doesn't mean everyone will. no bank in immune to these things. so i guess you just wont use the service of any bank again then? look, everyone has done thing in the pa** that they wish they can go back and make right, this lady did something stupid and i'm sure she knows that she messed up big time, she has to pay for it but lets not condemn her. geeeezzzzzzzzzzz, no one is perfect .

  • brootcher

    A crime is a crime she did wrong and justice must take it course.For one thing she admitted to her crime. That was no reason to publish her pictures anf full family name. SMN-NEWS where is your journalistic code of conduct you have to take some of the blame here.

    We have known of case of other dangerous murderers thieves etc. some on loose living among us and we haven't a clue who they are. Bibi think of that.

    It is indeed true that the good book says Thou Shall not steal, and what this individual did is indeed embra**ing to herself and her family, but did anyone stop to think that the person that uploaded those picture has to be a friend or close a**ociate thats why the saying goes keep your enemies close and your friends closer. it should not be allow by SMN News that a picture can be uploaded on their site, the picture should be forwarded and if anything the managers of the site should be the one uploading the picture, look at the front page of the newspaper no picture have been included, its only in the media because she was arrested, we don't join in, in wrong doing, but lets keep in mind young kids are involve just around the time school is ready to begin, let those of us without sin cast the first stone. take the plank out of your own eye before you look for the slinter in mine. We all are guilty of stealing from our employers, the time we late the time we call in sick knowing that indeed we weren't the time we check our messages on our BB, the time we spend on a phone call gossiping, we all steal so lets not rejoice and upload pictures cause we all have sin and come short of the glory God. just remember one day is like a thousand and a thousand is like one day. Lets all stop stealing as Thou shall not steal.

Husbands that brutalize their wives and kids.THOSE are the people we want to see their pictures and know they full names.We need to stop and those who has no fault cast the first stone.Girlfriend keep your head Up you are not the first and definitely will not be the last.

    I BELIEVE THAT ALL CRIMES IN OUR COMMUNITY SHOULD BE REPORTED NOT ONLY THOSE THAT WE PREY ON.

    WHEN MINISTERS ARE EVICTED FROM THERE HOMES, WHEN VIP ARE UNDER INVESTIGATION FOR RAPE, WHEN POLITICIANS ARE ACCUSED OF MONEY LAUNDRY,POLICE OFFICERS BEATEN WIVES AND NOT BEEN PUNISHED OR PUBLISHED THIS ALSO SHOULD BE KNOW TO THE PUBLIC
    IF YOU GO OUT ON A WITCH HUNT ON THE WEAK AND FORGET THE STRONG VIP THAT HIDE BEHIND THERE PROFESSION OR THERE STATUS IN PUBLIC.

    TALK ABOUT THOSE WHOM DIED BECAUSE REFUSAL OF MEDICARE AT THE HOSPITAL OR WAITING FOR A SVB CARD TO BE SIGNED UNABLE TO GET MEDICAL TREATMENT,PUBLISHED THIS ALSO

    To coworker.... Bibi had Bobby picture all over the internet,
    You said you are a co-worker, I do hope if Bobby Velasquez have an account with Windward Island Bank, he calls Jan Beaujon and closes everything. Because you selectively did this.
    And yes I AGREE, everybody who do wrong their picture should be made public, I don't give a damn, who it is, maybe that is the way people will stop doing wrong, MOREVER
    thiefing.
    Concerning the picture, if people never squat all over face book
    maybe, it would be left up to the authorities to publish the picture.

    Face Book will be everybody downfall, read review on it.

    DO NOT THIEF, and as a co-worker, Jan Beaujon should investigate your department.........or were you a helper??????

    Well it is a crime that she committed but it is now to see if the justice system will do their job correctly and sentence her ,or she will be released just like all the "other persons" in society who has done a crime but because they know a cousin brother or whoever in higher places end up receiving just a slap on her wrist and be set free. just like for example the lady from funland, Evelyn Hodge, and ms. M3 prime minister driver they all stole money one way or the other but they are all free like birds today.I mean SERIOUSLY when will we wake up!!
