My advice Comrade Izmirlian, is even if the Chinese acknowledge his presence at the planned China meeting, upon his return Cable Beach, best he immediately goes Lyford Cay Laboratory do some stool tests - cuz the outcome is certain, he will test positive for having catch some kinds parasitic organisms during his China trip.
That stuff can gives you long reoccurring discharges stools that has been known last years. Full force it's effect should start occurring within days being back at Cable Beach,
Then, Izmirlian will needs head right over Super Valu to loads up car's trunk plenty dat don't squeeze da Charmin. Make sure he got's toilet phone really close by, cuz he going need be able reach for it, when it starts rings with a 'call's' from da "Fisherman's From Cooper's Town."
Oh yeah, Izmirlian and Papa does deserve each others company.

Come on Tribune, you know my comment was accurate!

The Chinese cannot be trusted, and neither can the PLP and their supporters. Perry Christie and company are debauched soul-destroying proof that poor breeding can go horribly wrong. The trip to China will prove that Allyson is a confoundedly ill-bred lecher and a heinous heart-sickening unspeakably offensive, anti-patriotic poor excuse for a human being. Bring back the only real leader, HAI to sort this out. History will show, that we will one day find the moral strength to tear down the Stalinist statue of Swindling at the airport, just like the Saddam Madass statues came down, and put one up for HAI.

It is now abundantly clear that CCA, as the primary general contractor, has adopted a scorched earth policy and deliberately sabotaged the completion of the Baha Mar development project. And to think our Christie-led PLP government has taken the side of the two main Chinese enterprises involved in the project (CCA and CEXIMB), thereby essentially abandoning the interests of the Irzmirlian family and dooming the Baha Mar development. The monstrous buildings erected on Cable Beach are likely to remain empty until they are demolished many many years from now. The unoccupied buildings will quickly fall into a state of vandalized disrepair; serving only as a fitting tomb stone of Christie and Maynard-Gibson's mutual legacy! The Bahamian people have finally come to rue the day they voted these two demons into office!!

Christie is not respectfully regarded as a head of state by the Chinese and he knows it. He was summoned to China for discussions on the Baha Mar project, but feared the Bahamian people (and Baha Mar) would see him going to China as tantamount to an abrogation on his part of the sovereignty of the Commonwealth of The Bahamas and all of the constitutional rights of its citizens. But truth be told, Christie's willingness to send a huge contingent of his minions to China, headed by the most untrustworthy and incompetent Maynard-Gibson, sends precisely the message he did not want sent to the Bahamian people: The sovereignty of the Bahamas has been sold by the Christie-led PLP government to China in exchange for "favours" that only Christie and his political friends and business cronies will derive benefit from. For the rest of us, we will soon all be saying: "Hey buddy, can you spare a dime!"

Comrade Banker, here you go again with personal attack characterizations of which you are either unwilling/incapable of presenting Tribune readers solid facts - except the obviousness behind such insults made against Honourabel PM and his AG?

Can we use this as a starting point for investigative journalism as opposed to the reporting that goes on this country? Athena Damianos and Nikki Kelly are missed. What do you say, Tribune?

And just think, Banker... You have just skimmed the surface of what's been happening under the PLP administration over the years. Yes where are the replacements for the likes of a Nikki "Tell it like it is" Kelly. Now that was a lady who could be called a fine investigative journalist. Maybe we need to bring the "No spin zone" to the Tribune.

This is a precarious situation ............ Izzie wants to protect his $800M investment, The EXIM bank needs to get its money, CCA/CCESC wants to protect its reputation for future contracts and the Bahamian government is on FDI life support ............ he who holds the money, holds the power ........... that is why the talks are going on in China .......... bad for Izzie & Perry

I had to re-read this story ............. I am still scratching my head ............. and it is looking worse by the hour

If the Chinese "stole documents" from Bahamar, what will we describe the outcome of this Chinese Summit ...... how will we describe the "steal" that the Chinese will soon get because Izzie and Perry are so scared shitless of the Chinese powerbrokers ............... this is a serious slippery slope for our country .............. what will this outcome COST us Madam AG????????

The Chinese clearly has the balance of power in this saga ............. it should make us most uncomfortable

Izzie and Perry should be scared of the Chinkies - and way beyond shitless. These people don't fool around like the Mafia and Drug Barons. When people in the PRC get out of line they are put into a line of fire.

Looking "dead", but not so "good'!?!

Allyson Mayonnaise Gibson negotiating on our behalf ????. WOW we are really F..ked now.Get the vaseline Bahamas it may make it a little more bearable

Hey has anyone seen Birdie lately

Tribune's front page story headline: Chinese Contractor ‘Stole Documents.’ But in the story it reads; "Baha Mar has accused China Construction America’s (CCA) on-site staff of allegedly trying to remove important documents and computers from the compound."

THis beginin to look and sound like a soap opera! What next?

The hypocrisy of it all is that Izmirilin was so ridiculed for filing for bankruptcy protection in a Deleware court, but the Bahamian has no problem fly a delegation all the way to China to meet with the Chinese, who claims they are "too busy" to come to Nassau. The wisdom of Izmirilin filing in Deleware is that, if no settlement is reached in China, the court will have to act on the bankruptcy filing, with or without the blessings of the Bahamas courts. China bank, the China Construction Company and Bah Mar are all international companies, and as the complainant Izmirilin has a right to chose a venue for his court action. While the Bahamas may not be a party to the lawsuit or may not have equity in Bah Mar, it does have interest (financial) and otherwise) in the project. The country suffered loss at Bah Mar's failure to open., and stands to benefit if the project does open. Furthermore the attorney general herself has personal (family) interest in Bah Mar, as do other members of the government, and she has been personally involved in the Bah Mar project as an attorney. This does not make the Bahamas the best venue for Izmirilin to file his lawsuit. And since the Chinese government has interests in Both the China Bank and the China Construction Company, Izmirilin would definitely not want to file his lawsuit in that country.

If Izmirilin can produce sufficient evidence to convince the Deleware court that there was possible collusion between the China Bank and the China Construction Company to sabotage and delay Bah Mar, or if he can convince the court that China Construction Company, either intentionally or through negligence or for whatever reason produced shoddy work and/or did not complete in a timely manner and caused the delay of Bah Mar, to the detriment of the owners and/or others, Izmirilin will receive bankruptcy protection. If he prevails in proving his case of collusion and sabotage against the two companies, he may not be required to spend another red cent to get Bah Mar finished. The law requires an aggrieved party to be put back in the position he would have been in before the grievance took place and since Bah Mar should have been completed since December 2014, the courts may require these companies to complete the project at their own expense. The courts may also require compensation to bah Mar, for loss of income for example, requiring one or both of these companies to pay Bah Mar for all the income it would've generated from December to now, and including the additional time required to complete Bah Mar. This can amount to hundred of millions of dollars. And then there can also be penalties. If it is proven that China Bank or the China Construction Company or both did not act in good faith or was negligent they can be fined by the courts. Izmirilin may also be able to recover punitive damages "for pain and suffering". He need only call the prime minister to prove this as the pm claims that Izmirilin appeared to be losing his mind. This can easily be a billion dollar lawsuit.
