The omitted affidavit does not say much, except those two men seemed to be playing both side, Mr: Davis has nothing to fear no money changed hands. But Pintard shoul be running scared. it appears he did receive money.

The affidavit says, he encouraged two men that persons on the govt side have described as "known criminals", to leave the country.

Pintard has received money and he has paid money according to the press. Some people will say anything for money. and it seems they were paid well. Seems to me it is lots of money for so little work.

I want to know how Fitzgerald got those e-mails? I want to know if he can get anyone's private information and under what authority? What about privacy laws, do Bahamians have a right to privacy? We know government is very secretive and they will sue if certain information becomes public. What about business, can government just steal private information and expose it in the HOA, willy nilly? I think investors may be a bit wary of this.

There's actually a caveat in the privacy laws that speaks about national security. It would be interesting to hear how the data commissioner verifies if national security is being threatened. I would hate to think that the freedom of speech Marathon protestors, fighting against the possibility of throat cancer could be casually described as national security threats and seditionists simply because they protested against Fitzgeraldand asked Fitzgerald to step down (as is their right), or because they were contacted by an **ENVIRONMENTAL** watchdog group. I wonder what the FBI psychologists think about the brain that rationalized that connection.

A hospital records was stolen from their Webb site, one country lost millions until a word was miss spelled they were unaware. The internet is a good thing. but once you put your information out there it seems it becomes every ones business.

Those emails were not "put out" on the internet. They were safely secured on someone's server. Someone invaded someone else's privacy to get at them. Haven't you ever noticed that a court of law is always very interested in the method used to obtain information? Just because you have it doesn't make it righteous. And in this post Rubis case it makes it utterly despicable.

And what about record books? Information that is manually logged? If someone acquires a book that has your private information written by hand, should they use said information to their advantage? The issue is not the Internet. It is the individual(s) using it to their advantage (or disposal) that pose the threat. A computer cannot operate on its own unless it is programmed by a human being to do so.

BULLSHIT Birdiestrachan !!

Did Louis Bacon and Fred Smith ever think that after spending some 21/2 years, spending millions of dollars and hiring the best and the brightest investigators from around the world their plot to "get Nygard" would implode and explode as it did exposing rotten apples as it did and rather than toppling the government as was the intention it shows the need to stand together to protect their own country, to strengthen democracy and to beware foreigners bearing gifts. The fallout from this will be long and far reaching and the intended victims may not be the victim after all. Some feel a certain QC should be disbarred and a certain resident no longer qualifies for that status in this Bahamas.

Let Election 2017 determine who governs this country and not an ill conceived , dangerous plot to topple that the government that involves notorious criminals and the talk of murder. How many of those high profile investigators from Scotland Yard, the FBI or wherever will lose their hard earned creditably for their involvement in this plot?

While innocent men sleep, wicked men lie awake plotting to take lives and do all manner of evil.

John – nonsense and you know it. There was no 'plot'. Pure PLP spin to distract from those most embarrassing videos. No amount of shooting the messenger will work this time, the governing party will have to account for their relationship with one Peter Nygard.
