“None of them, those that lost, should be allowed to challenge for any (leadership) post,” Mr Galanis said. “It would send the message to the Bahamian public that we haven’t learned a thing. Those that lost, lost for a reason. We have to show voters that we get it; that we understand.” What a joke. so Brave is suitable to remain? carry on smartly. You all making it easy for FNM in 2022.

What Mr. Galanis and **P**illage **L**oot **P**lunder need to **"GET"** is **L-O-S-T!**

In the minds of most Bahamians today the PLP no longer exists after being, not just rejected, but completely obliterated (annihilated) in the last general election. Here we have Galanis, with his own very well-known checkered past, claiming the PLP needs to ditch its losers in order to "return to the people". But look at all of the now irrelevant real losers he mentions as being instrumental (in his mind) to the revival of the PLP, apart from of course himself no matter what he may say about his political ambition:

* Alfred Sears - who is effectively a business partner of the numbers' bosses.

* Michael Halkitis - who played a key role in overseeing our country's finances being run into the ground by the last corrupt Christie-led PLP government.

* Raynard Rigby - who is essentially a ding bat of a thug; a real wannabe Bradley Roberts.

With people like Galanis and those he mentioned clinging for dear life to the SS PLP of the past, we can all take great comfort in knowing there will be no PLP government in the foreseeable future, if ever again. In any event, the seeds have already been planted for a new political party of force to emerge with most of its supporters below age 50.

Galanis is also a PLP loser as well. One should look at his record as to why he was fired from a Big 4 Accounting firm. All that you have to do, is google "galanis bahamas investment fraud". E&Y had to pay $3 million dollars to make criminal charges go away because of him.

THROW THE BABY OUT WITH THE BATH WATER DAMNIT!

"Galanis Was Involved in Money Scheme

Bahamas senator was involved with a Florida man who was accused of scamming investors out of $9.9-million.

A Clearwater financial consultant was indicted on federal charges that he was involved in a fraudulent investment scheme in which investors lost $9.9-million in the mid 1990s.

A federal grand jury indicted Richard M. Kubany in 2002 on charges of conspiracy and tax evasion.

Kubany, 60, was involved in the Lauriel Investment Program, a fraudulent investment scheme, from 1995-98, according to the indictment.

The program took in $9.9-million from investors starting in late 1995, with the promise of a high yield at little or no risk. Others involved in the scheme agreed to give Kubany more than $1.25-million in finder's fees for funneling investors' money into the program, the indictment charges.

But by late 1996, all the investors' money had been dissipated, including $3.1-million that went through Progressive Growth Management Limited, a Bahamian corporation created and controlled by Kubany, the indictment states.

The indictment indicates a lawyer from Los Angeles, an accountant from Phoenix and another man from Colorado also were involved. It does not say how many investors lost money in the scheme or where they lived.

Kubany and those men, along with Progressive and Lauriel, are named as defendants in a lawsuit filed by the federal government in Arizona. That lawsuit alleges investment fraud under the Racketeering Influenced and Corrupt Organizations (RICO) Act.

Another man, current Bahamian Senator Philip Galanis, was also named as a defendant in that lawsuit.

Galanis is a former managing partner of the accounting firm Ernst & Young who was fired in 1997. He was suspected of raising money under false pretenses and diverting it for the personal use of insiders rather than for legitimate investing, according to OBNR, an Internet newsletter that follows offshore financing.

Galanis was allegedly escorted off the premises of the firm that he worked for.

Galanis was a member of parliament in the Bahamas before he stepped down in January, 2002, citing that he could not fully dedicate himself to the office, according to published reports from the Bahamas.

The money that went through the offshore account was used for, among other things, Kubany's personal expenses, the indictment states.

Kubany claimed the money he received from Progressive were loans so he wouldn't have to pay taxes, the indictment states. Kubany also is charged with not filing income tax returns for 1995 and 1996."

Geezzzz......and he still has the temerity to seek the lime light in politics. Galanis certainly possesses the dubious background necessary to qualify as a high ranking delegate of the PLP who will be voting at their convention this coming October. What a joke!

What a prince!

He fits right in with all the other losers!

ZZZZ.....ZZZZ.....ZZZZZ.....ZZZZ......ZZZZZ......ZZZZ..... wake me after **P**illage **L**oot **P**lunder get it through their thick skulls that **N-O-B-O-D-Y** with a once of sense will trust them ever again to take out the trash!

We can only wonder how much this fella was able to borrow from Bank of The Bahamas on exceptionally generous conditions, e.g. no security required, "repay-what-you-can-when-you-can" basis, "restructure-when-you-want" terms, etc. etc.

Informative posts, thank you. I knew the bare bones but not the details provided.

If PLP figure this out, it won't be me who help them do it. No opinion from me, except to say, Obie is younger, but a copy of what's wrong with the PLP, very unoriginal, a copy of Bradly, but more sneaky, he reminds me of Jacob Rothschild, snakish...

Obie is probably one of the dirtiest of the bunch. He like the teflon don,nothing sticks to him

Galanis has good intentions .......... and so is the road to Hell ...... That is where the PLP is headed
