This site looks like some kind of get rich slowly/negatively oppurtunity that your cousin tries to sell you at Thanksgiving. I don't know a lot, what I do know is that I have no idea why someone would pay $100k to be a citizen in Grenada or Dominica.

Let's say you're a well-to-do citizen of Pakistan. There are only 11 countries you can travel to without going through visa bureaucracy (and they're not a whos-who of global commerce, either). You park a little bit of your wealth into an investment in one of these countries and now you can freely travel the world without hassle.
Imagine if you are a Russian war criminal. Or anyone dodging taxes.
Neither Grenada nor Dominica accept Russians through this program.
