Accepting the Devil as a sentient physical entity for a moment:
If the devil is going to sign contracts with people, he has to keep his word on them. A contract implies an exchange of services, and presumably if the prince of lies welched, the people of Haiti would not be bound.
Contracts in the Earthly realm are generally enforced by the society that surrounds them. It stands to reason that there's some similar entity who would enforce the supernatural variety as well, or there'd be no point to them to begin with.
Even if we accept this contract malarky as the unvarnished truth, and if we take it as given that this somehow precipitated the current situation in Haiti, that would make the current sufferers at best victims of the folly of their forefathers.
There's simply no excuse for this kind of ignorance. True story.
