B.O.L.!!! Good one!

The standoff decision not to open the gate to Comrade Deputy Provost Marshal of the Supreme Court - should have seen Court's Property Forfeiture Seal be placed on gate and if broken - owner and staff loaded aboard Bus, for free ride lockup let foreigner knows that Nygard Cay - not too big they foreigner money pants - not be seized and owner sent Debtors Prison, a special place normally reserved for man's and woman's - who are too poor pay couple Hundreds dollars of what they owes into da court colony islands.

This is an outrage and no joking matter.

Or maybe there were things on the estate that Nygard didn't want found.

Either way, I hope he's thrown in Fox Hill for contempt at today's sentencing hearing.

can you see him with his skinny jeans on in foxhill?

He would go in as a tight-end and leave as a wide-receiver 🤣

...the assumption being that he is not already a wide receiver!

So many people dredge and expand their property and nothing happens to them. This is just an obvious money grab. Going after deep pockets. I hope Nygard finds a loophole.

of course you still want him around for the next election cycle when you promise him the moon if you win...

That defies logic... well not PLP logic. "You didn't stop me yesterday for speeding; why are you stopping me now!" Silly comment.

Fred Mitchell carry your sissy ass back to London and play with your little boyfriends okay. We done with idiots like you.

Mr. Nygard clearly does not respect the Bahamian people much less our Bahamian courts. He should be held in contempt of court and the court’s judgement enforced. It is absolutely ridiculous how much deference is paid to this man by our authorities, a Bahamian would be treated far more harshly. The double standard needs to stop.

I wonder if the Government will charge the Shanty Town Haitians 2.2 million dollars for expanding their property? Ya neva see it!

Have you ever noticed how many thousands in fines are slapped on foreigners who over-stay their allotted visitors' time as opposed to the paltry few hundred levied on those illegal immigrants from the south-east?

No, the gov't will give them low cost housing and waive property taxes indefinitely!

I could understand a legal bill of 500K but how do you get a 2.2 million dollar bill for a land encroachment matter? That's the cost of a house in Old Fort. SMH

No. That's the cost of ocean front property in Lyford - which he stole from us Bahamians.

Are you kidding? $2.2 million won't get you anywhere near the ocean at Lyford cay! You might find a fixer upper on a small lot for that.

Why da pore taxpayer paying fer all the 4 hours waiting......??........simply jumps on da Police Boat .....an lands ups on da beach........an dey have the right to ne there up to high water mark....rights inside ..........dont dey........dont tell the taxpayrr da boat meeds fixing......puleese.......!!!

LOL! Pure farce. Pure comedy. Hilarious.
It's good to see Tommy using souvenir straw works as a cover for his portfolio.

Comrade Tommy Deputy Provost Marshal of the Supreme Court this Friday- should've showed up in american forces helicopter to land he self on other side gate.

Bey if da police wanted to do tings that dead bad...they woudda done been in there no time flat since yestetday....not that thick officer but dat other one wordda done hoist ......pull heself up ....over that gate no time flat.........way past now......now if that be one pore Bahamian over da hill........da magistrate done be sentencing him by now....

He must have forgot all his cronies either didn't get re elected or seem to have totally forgotten about him and his money?

RE Banker You're right. Looks like a bunch of carpet bagging low lifes trying to take something that they have not earned. Must have other Lyford Cay residents quaking in their boots to see someone who looks like a gardener bulldozing his way into a rich foreigner's mansion. Terrible optics!

BahamaPundity Mitchell, the other Lyford Cay residents follow the law and do not show the same kind of wanton disregard and disrespect for the country -- either those as guests or as Bahamian citizens. None are above the law, though Mr. Nygard seems to think he is. The residents of Lyford Cay have nothing to fear -- in fact, many welcome the enforcement of Nygard's contempt.

The laws for one must apply to all. And this battle with Nugget, et. al., has ran on long enough. Two million will not cripple Nygard nor send him to the poor house. Maybe it’s a matter of ‘ Even after I settle this claim, will I be able to lay back and lick my wounds in peace, then move on with my life.’ Knowing the nature of the beast, the android a negative.

Maybe it’s a matter for Nygard of, ‘Even after I settle this claim, will I be able to lay back and lick my wounds in peace, then move on with my life.’ Knowing the nature of the beast, the answer a negative. Bacon is expensive. In fact many Bahamians can't afford it.

This appears to be politically motivated. Sure Nygard should not have caused a beach to accumulate on his property. Tell that to the hundreds of others on this island that are illegally accumulating beaches. But this does not mean his mansion should be confiscated and sold and that a bill of 2.2 million dollars should be owed (more than Baha Mar legal bills). Something is very off-putting about this matter. Seems like a sledge hammer is being used when a small hammer would suffice. Politics are destroying this nation!

Politically motivated? How so? This whole court issue started during the PLP administration. Nygard is a lowlife who broke the laws of the Bahamas, illegally dredged sand from crown land...he was found guilty in a court-of-law and fined. He has not paid what he owes so the courts are taking matters into their own hands...just like they would do in the US, Canada,England,France,Sweden or any other country. Nothing to see here...move on.

Today they came for Nygard's mansion (they buldozed through his beautiful iron gates) and I said nothing. Tomorrow, the poor may rise up and take my house, and there will be no one to speak out for me.

$300.00 does not even cover processing, holding, court and repatriation costs. Maybe that's why they have to go after the likes of Nygard!

About damn time. Justice for all. Nygard needs to be declared persona non grata and let him bribe his way in some other country. It is the people’s time now.

The court has not singled out Nygard Cay - that job was cockily done by Comrade Peter, he self. Her Excellency Marguerite should issue royal decree withdraw the Citizenship or Permit work in colony for any blogger supporting actions Nygard Cay's Peter.

I've know Nygard all my life. He was a real character of the olden days when life was carefree in these islands. There used to be lots of characters then. This was a 007 town. No need to treat him like dirt now, just because the real men have left or died and all that's left is Super Wash.

All i ga say is ya backup the rich tree, ya back up the poor tree...Ya soon mash the wrong foot in this society.....Keep on backing up other people trees till ya back up the wrong one.

I wonder how much 'chattel' was removed over night?

@pundit.....I see your point on the sledge hammer....end results regardless....one must weigh plusses and minusses....that will reverberate in business community....elsewhere......may very turn out to cost us all more the money involved.....this has been a sitiation gotten totally out of hand for years and years.....and the inept...incompetant...irresponsible....accepting this mans favours....benefits....donations....lacking fortitude ....officials who let it reach so far should be held responsible......
The Nation should not suffer for the follies of a few that now manifests in this spectacle.....the other parties who did nothing..for years prior...stood watching...accepted....must be held accountable contributing to this.....

THE DRAMA KING must be jumping up and down with glee. It seems as if Mr: Naygard has
done more for the Bahamian people , More than the DRAMA KING and those who\
support him in .his attempts In my view to destroy this man.

Some folks do not like to see poor Black people being uplifted, bottom line

They really did not like all of those black folks on their beach,

Birdie, clearly you are not aware that there are black Bahamians who reside and own homes in Lyford Cay, Old Fort Bay and Albany. Or are you conveniently ignoring that fact?

And as for "their" beach -- I'm sure you're also aware that no one owns the beach in the Bahamas.

Nygard is a criminal and should be treated as such. If he followed the law, there would be no issue. His contempt and disrespect for the Bahamian people is astounding. And you are too stupid to see that you are being used by Nygard as a tool to his ends.

What a double standard! How ironic!!! The same lawyer defending FOR the Haitians' right to take land from the Government in the Shanty Towns is fighting AGAINST the right of Mr. Nygard to take land/beach from the Government here. You can't make this up!!! The Government does nothing against the Shanty Towns but raids Mr. Nygard's house!

Mr Smith talks about lack of respect for the laws of the Bahamas. Strangely
these laws do not apply to Shanty Towns. A double standard from one who brags
about undisclosed donations to the FNM party.

So what is the update on the 17 y/o school boy the police and DEA allegedly brought to the capital from Abaco for having a joint of marijuana..

Just kick all foreigners out. Problem solved. But wait then you
got nobody to blame.

Some Comrade's Contempt sentencing is justice delayed, again - put off

Thinks I can I rent P.O. Box at Lyford Cay to get upgrade my address - just in case I needs asks He/She Worship for Bus ride Fox Hill scheduling postponement?
