Statement, Judiann Myles:
Ministry of Financial Services and Commerce, and the Hon. Attorney General

Grand Cayman, 9 April 2025 – Staff in the Ministry of Financial Services and Commerce, and in the Attorney General’s Chambers, were honoured to work with Judiann Myles.

Judiann’s star was bright, ascending, and greatly respected because of her unwavering dedication to further improving the stability of financial services – not just for those of us on these Islands but also for people around the world.

With her sharp, insightful mind and deep understanding of anti-money laundering and countering the financing of terrorism, she was a key member of our Islands’ local, regional and global delegations. We proudly recall how she used her seat at the table to positively influence discussions and shape outcomes for the better.

As we think about her warm personality, clear purpose, and love for the Cayman Islands, it’s difficult to accept that our friend and colleague is no longer with us. Judiann will always be missed. We join with others in wishing her family comfort.

The Hon. Attorney General, Samuel Bulgin KC JP, commented as follows: “In my capacity as Chairman of the Cayman Islands Anti-Money Laundering Steering Group (AMLSG) and Cayman Islands Prime Contact for the Financial Action Task Force (FATF) and Caribbean Financial Action Task Force (CFATF), I can attest to Judiann Myles’s significant contribution to the fight against money laundering in the jurisdiction and regionally.

She was the quintessential ambassador for our islands and the region in such endeavours and represented us with absolute poise and professionalism. Judiann’s death is an unspeakable tragedy that has created a void that will not be easy to fill.

On behalf of the anti-money laundering and countering the financing of terrorism network, we offer our condolences to her family as we navigate this difficult period”.
