BALTIMORE, Maryland, USA- Former Managing Director of the BVI Ports Authority (BVIPA) Oleanvine Pickering-Maynard and her son Kadeem S. Maynard are scheduled to be released from prison in a matter of days.

Both had pleaded guilty under a plea deal reached in June 2023 to conspiracy to import a controlled substance. The proffer agreements for the Maynards indicated that they, alongside former VI Premier Andrew A. Fahie, conspired with a confidential source of the Drug Enforcement Administration to smuggle thousands of kilograms of cocaine through Tortola waters.

In November 2023, Kadeem S. Maynard was sentenced to 4.75 years in jail for his role in the conspiracy.

Seven months later, his mother Oleanvine was sentenced to nine years and four months for her part in the scheme to allow ships carrying cocaine to use VI waters as safe harbour during their journey from Colombia to Miami.

Her sentencing had been delayed to facilitate her testimony against Mr Fahie during his 2024 trial.

Early release

According to the Federal Bureau of Prisons (BOP), Maynard, 63, who is currently incarcerated at RRM Baltimore in Maryland, is scheduled for release on March 21, 2025.

Her son, Kadeem Stephan Maynard, 33, is to be released on April 1, 2025. He is being held at FCI Miami, a low-security federal prison in Florida.

Meanwhile, Mr Fahie, who was convicted in February 2024 on charges of conspiracy to import cocaine and money laundering, remains incarcerated at Jesup Federal Correctional Institution, a low-security federal prison in Georgia. He has a release date of June 4, 2033.

      When you play in GOD'S face, this is what happens to you. I remember right before Fahie got arrested, he was seen praying to GOD with his hands raised slightly in the air and praying. GOD'S answer was "NO". Stop playing with GOD, before he smite you down for good!

    They are giving her an early release due to medical complications. They let Vybz out of prison because of medical complications not because he was innocent of the crime he was accused of committing.

        TYSM for stating this

        Y'all heard him Kartel didn't snitch meaning he didn't tell law enforcement about the crime and who was involved even if he may not hav done NTN he did not cooperate to bring justice

        Thats the person singing to the youths! That's the person government bringing here with other criminal supporter's.

        But y'all go on when the youths get even more unruly learning from y'all the rooster will come home to roost!! Just don't cry and complain and wonder what went wrong.

        So when the youths kill a innocent bystander or old lady or anyone for a matter of fact and refused to "snitch" then don't blame them . They learn from y'all

        Once you cooperate with the FEDS and give them the information they are looking for, they will give you a break. When the FEDS came and took West Bank he did not snitch/or rat anyone out so they ship him back to Tortola. If Puff daddy give up names he may not have to go to prison for life.

        I hope when they return, they will turn their lives around. There is always a second chance given if you live up to the expectations of others to trust you again. They are from here and have to return home. Let's not act as though none of us have done things we regretted later and couldn't take back. That saying "if I had known then what I know now" is true for all of us.

      Honestly, will she be allowed to live in Miami? Or is her and her son is two of the five from the BVI that is scheduled to be deported from the United States.I may be wrong but, just have to wait and see. If she comes back, things is going to be difficult for her even though she is from here. She is going to be looked down upon as a traitor and sell out to her Territory. And y’all know how this place stays/is. Miami is so large you can get lost in the crowd, here you can’t, to small and boxed in.
