We really have a f..king criminal enterprise running our country. When are these peoplegoinf ro jail.

Why is there no personal accountability in all of this. That Bank has been left doing business as if nothing happened. Suppose someone unknowingly put some money in there and lost it ? I would have thought that the Central Bank and its Governor's past and present should be held accountable and personally liable. Including incarceration if appropriate. And send the Cabinet up too because they pulling the strings in Central Bank. Or YUKKIN the ROPE.

Both Paul McWeeney and his brother Sean should be run out of the country for their involvement in the millions and millions of dollars of losses incurred by BoB and by extension the Bahamian taxpayers and national insurance fund contributors. They are two dispicable scoundrels alike. As for Wendy Craigg's failure to stand up to Christie as Minister of Finance when she was the primary regulator of BoB as governor of the Central Bank, well...you just can't say enough about her lack of integrity and incompetence! And rumours abound that Christie continues to keep Paul McWeeney and Wendy Craigg on the government payroll in the Office of the Prime Minister and/or Ministry of Finance just to ensure they don't spill any of the beans about the real happenings at BoB that have unjustly enriched so many of Christie's political friends and business cronies at very great expense to all honest hard working Bahamian taxpayers and national insurance fund contributors. Christie has permitted the royal screwing too of all minority shareholders and unsecured creditors of BoB.

I agree 100%

The @#$^%#@ Government appointees at Central Bank expect Government to provide a cushy contract when they retire from Central Bank. These suckers will not rock the boat!

Perhaps Mr Leonard can tell the Bahamian public. why Finco and Grand Bahama Power company has not paid any dividends for several years. what has happened with the bank and the power Company? I purchases shares from both of them.

Birdie we have gone down this road before. Why do you keep stating this lie that Grandbahama power has not paid dividends? The truth is that they just paid a dividend in July, last year there were two dividends, one in September and one in December. The truth is that the power company has paid dividends for several years, every year. I wish you would not use this public forum to spread falsehoods.

Well birdie: The PLP destroyed the economy and thousands could no longer pay their mirtgage payments. You should be ashamed to even ask such a stupid self incriminating question. You are a bug part of the problem birdie. You support incompetent idiots who don't have a clue about governance or finance or nothing. And are fundamentally thieves & robbers.

Our governing system have done this damage to the economy- not the PLP or the FNM but BOTH under the same system. We have allowed our governments to make poor financial decisions, borrow as if we had oil wells pumping in our back yards, finance elections, indulge in massive corruption and cronyism, give contracts to unqualified people, give away Bahamian land to entities that take advantage of loopholes and never follow through to completion, give loans to political cronies that they don't pay back and without consequences, allow unqualified friends and family to get away with underhanded deals- often having to do with land- that should be criminalized. These same friends and family are allowed to assumed underserved, unearned positions of leadership in key areas when they have not shown themselves to be visionaries, good people managers or good fiscal managers or qualified to begin with, waste money on carnivals so that a few people could forget their sorrows and f'd up condition for a few minutes, become hamstrung by unions to such a degree that the governing school system is a complete and utter failure and service in this country's number one industry is sub par at best. It is a government that has made accountability a curse word and has utterly failed its people in developing a reliable energy system, has refused to intervene with better banking laws as banks milk the Bahamian people dry, refuses to respond in any meaningful way to report after report of massive theft and corruption in government agencies and I know this is going to make people mad- but a government that decided to roll a dice and allow Izzy to develop an outsized project based on a model whose day has past and in a market where two out sized projects like Atlantis and Bahamar could not survive- hoping for a double six and getting zip. And now this government has decided to play games with the Chinese who now has this country by the short and curlies. I have been saying for a long time we need to be honest and devalue the Bahamian dollar because its buying power has decreased in big ways in the past ten years. This is just confirmation of all I have feared. We must dismantle the system that allows these azz-h**s to pretend as if they know anything about economics and more than that- anything about running a country in a responsible, ethical or visionary manner. Not ONE politician in government right now has done anything memorable to move this country forward- NOT ONE. Their service has been completely forgettable and history will not remember a single one.

Greentea: AMEN !

Greentea: AMEN !

I concur with the above statements

Don Anthony they GBPC must have paid you but not me. And the same must be the case
with FINCO they pay some and not others.

Birdie GBPC paid 14 cents per share in July, last year 7 cents per share in sept, and 5 cents per share in December. Contact your stockbroker or check your brokerage account, or if you do not have one, the security depository office in Nassau which is the official registrar for all stockholders.

Apart from the other issues facing BOB, someone needs to be held accountable in the latest offering in that when prospective buyers are viewing the make up of the Board of Directors in order to gain knowledge they will see the listed Board of Directors naming a Mr. Wadye Anthony Christie as a Managing Director. This seems to be false and misleading as I believe his contract was not renewed some time ago. This continuation then would be false advertising and someone or the entire department should be fired for this enormous blunder and all the money spent to put forth the offering. Quite astonishing that noone seems to realize that in purchasing shares any savvy investor looks at the makeup of the decision makers of the company.

The make up can be seen on the Bisx bahamas webside up to today's date at 8.49 am
