The judicial credibility of The Bahamas is out the window. The only thing that you can believe about it is that it is for sale, just like our government. What a sad country The Bahamas has become. Look up Banana Republic or nation for sale in the dictionary and it will say, see The Bahamas. Forward, Upward, Onward, Together, straight to hell.

A position paper by RBC (Bahamas) states that conducting business with web shops would run afoul of its parent bank’s global policies and US Federal law.

We don't have to go any further than this. RBC (Bahamas) will simply exit the Bahamas if it is told it must accept tainted money. CIBC and Scotiabank will follow them leaving us all to bank with Bank of The Bahamas. If that happens ALL foreign investors will leave these shores. Government really hasn't thought this one through.

I would put my money in mason jars in my back yard before I put it in BOB. Thank god for Commonwealth Bank!

This is all part of the plan. Get all of the foreign banks to leave so that the number criminals' bank (BoB). Will be the only major game in town (other than Commonwealth Bank, who is seen as 'the white man' bank). Does anyone really think that these criminals or the PLP care about what's best for Their Bahamas?

Once the first law suit is hinted at, foreign investment will exit and there will be a run on all of the banks. The B$ will be sooo weak that it will have to be floated and then we are doomed for at least 50 years. The only good thing that can come from this, is that along the way, there will be mass hysteria and looting and hopefully these criminals, as well as the current MP's, will be destroyed and their ill-gotten gains will be taken from them by the very same people they are taking from now.

When you lay down with dogs you wake up with fleas. The man thinks his money makes him invincible.

Not for me to question the rulings da Comrade Justices of da court, being they are trained in da law, but I do likes thinks, I as being of "common sense" intelligence law-abiding citizens, always eager learn to understand as much as possible about da law, so I hope I am not out of order to the Honourable Justices, to ask for an answer to but a few lingering questions.
If what I read the decision to overturn was in essence, there was no evidence of any arrangement between the appellant and any of the persons found to be promoting or conducting a lottery; and no evidence from which it may be reasonably inferred that he ought to have known but turned a blind eye to what was going on.
Okay I understand that but how did the $834,629.32 get inside the building – some golden goose fly over da roof, dropping cash through an open skylight?
Also, how did Flowers go about proving to the court that, he Flowers was in fact the sole legal owner of da close to a million dollars in cash, that was ceased during the raid by the policeman’s?
Also, would it have been normal cash flow business, for a tiny web shop business to have close to a million dollars in cash on da premises? I think I might not be the only confused citizen?
If, I as a citizen am out of order, I respectfully apologize to da Honourable Justices in advance.
At least, if I were a Justice sitting in my robes up on high court bench, before I would return close million dollars someone, I would first demand to get some straight answers, likes to rightful ownership and how's in hell did they's legally come by these ceased monies?

I'm convinced Bahamians are missing the humility gene. Who told anybody that a Canadian bank MUST operate from the Bahamas? also while we can do whatever we want with our laws I'm assuming a Canadian bank is still governed by international and Canadian laws

Web shops are not legalized yet so how is he going to challenge them. Not a single web shop licence has been issued.

Flowers owns them all. The web shop bribes are just to sweet. With All that cash he can just grease as many palms as possible. The web shops are dirty but so are the banks, charging outrageous rates for consumer loans, products and services. The government is the third culprit in this scheme taxing its own people to death with vat, charging outrageous rates for electricity, and creating an environment where government dependency for jobs is the norm. No angels here...Morals left the building a long time ago with ping and the drug trade.

Start a national lottery, legalize gambling, web shops would be out of business. Our own self discriminating laws has made people like flowers rich. Try getting a legitimate business started from scratch in the Bahamas, its near impossible today. The bureaucracy and red tape one has to go through is ridiculous if u r legitimate. The system is set up where as if u r not politically connected or a loaded foreigner aint nothing happening. What's even more interesting is that many people who are rich today in our society made dirty money which they ended up using to fund legitimate businesses.

True dat
