If you can't name us persons involved with this corruption and the persons are not held accountable and responsible, then why make the accusations. The Bahamian people have the right to know who the corruptors are.

We all know who the "All for me Baby crew are"

care to elaborate?

100% correct.

This would be funny, if not so sad.

Why has Robert Cleary, the examiner appointed by the US Justice Department, not yet commenced appropriate legal proceedings at the US Federal government level against the Bahamians named in both the Nardello & Co and Sullivan & Cromwell reports. These crooked Bahamians played an instrumental role in paving the way for the many crimes associated with the FTX/Alameda debacle, including illegal payments that violated US Federal election campaign laws?

Is the US government really going to participate in the cover-up of crimes committed by Bahamian government officials as well as well-connected members of the political ruling political class in our country? If the US government were truly an ally of our nation and a friend of the Bahamian people, it would do the right thing through the US Justice Department and the Delaware Bankruptcy proceeding to ensure all who have committed serious crimes are held responsible and accountable whether they be US or Bahamian citizens.

As Bahamians we must ask ourselves why is the US Federal government so vested in protecting the greedy and despicable likes of Allyson Maynard-Gibson, a/k/a the Wicked Witch of the West, and Maxine Waters? Why did VP Kamala Harris travel to The Bahamas to cut various quid pro quo deals for the purpose of keeping the lid on FTX/Alameda crimes committed by both corrupt Bahamian and US politicians. Why is it the liquidators in The Bahamas refused to pursue legal claims against those Bahamians known to have been greatly enriched with funds stolen from customers of FTX/Alameda under circumstances that likely constitute fraudulent preferences.

And what about the Deltec Bank's claim that it did not receive and use funds stolen from customers of FTX/Alameda to purchase Ansbacher (Bahamas) Limited. The $50 million loan Deltec received from the FTX/Alameda group was among several deals SBF struck with Jean Chalopin, the head of Deltec and Moonstone banks — and co-creator of Inspector Gadget — who forged a lucrative relationship with FTX. Was a good portion of the $50 million loan used by Deltec to plug the hole in its capital created by the purchase of Ansbacher?

The US government cannot continue to hold the Bahamian people responsible for the many corrupt actions of criminals running amok within our political ruling class if it continues to protect these same crooks by concealing their names and covering up their crimes. All Bahamians have a right to this information and, frankly, the Bahamian people deserve to be more fairly treated then the Bahamian criminals the US government is apparently willing to protect. And let's remember that the headline amount of $675k is but the very tip of the iceberg.

You are asking too many of the right questions.
Be careful.
The US government is a criminal organization.
Didn't you answer a few of your own questions in your comment?
It is the tip of the iceberg, and yes yes it goes to the very top of both countries.
We have to remember that the political class is only there to work for and shield their rich owners.
This is the joke played on us.

**The US government is officially ranked as being more corrupt than the Bahamas government!**

If they dare open this can of skeletons, they also risk any number of skeletons coming out of the closet.

Shouldn't the Government of The Bahamas request the details of the investigation so that they can pursue and prosecute any Bahamians who may have broken the law? Or are they a little worried???
When the FNM win the next election will they request this information? Or are they a little scared as well??
50 years of independence and corrupt has destroyed our paradise.

You raise an interesting point.

Pintard and the FNM leadership should be going on record as promising the Bahamian people that, if they become the next government, they will immediately do everything within their power to obtain from the US Justice Dept., and the Delaware bankruptcy court, full details of the likely crimes committed by Bahamian government officials and other members of the political ruling class so that the matters can be further investigated and criminal charges brought where warranted under our own laws.

The Bahamian news media should pursue obtaining such a forthright promise and undertaking from Pintard and the FNM leadership at the earliest possible time.

If any party commits to that, I will vote for them, plp or fnm. I will vote just to see justice. Politicians are corrupt!!

Minnis may seek to prosecute these PLPs who have blatantly sucked off the FTX teat ....... But do not expect Pintard to do anything about it.

Pintard is either on the New Day payroll .......... or deep up in Brave's ass

You're projecting. Because the speculation is the PLP is funding Minnis to cause disruption in the FNM

"*XReg was tasked with coming up with options for a new home, and one of the search criteria was to find jurisdictions that “offered lax regulation of crypto currency”.*

That's interesting and laughable. It literally belies everything the PM said. They were shopping around for a country with lax crypto laws and they found the Bahamas to set up their playground. How stupid does that make us look talking about the ironclad DARE act being in place.

"*Sullivan & Cromwell found that those NFT transactions were part of a scheme whereby FTX com users, who could not withdraw funds from the exchange after FTX.com froze withdrawals, paid inflated prices for NFTs sold by Bahamian individuals.*"

Wow. Seems like outright fraud. Artificially Inflating prices of assets to withdraw money which should have been frozen. And if I remember correctly the relaxation was called for by the PM who must have known that when an organization is in financial trouble noone can arbitrarily decide on a group of creditors to get paid out first. Theres an orderly process. He knows this.

Spot on!

John Ray and the liquidators based in The Bahamas have all along had the means to determine exactly who were the Bahamian beneficiaries of the fraudulent NFT transactions for the purpose of pursuing legitimate claims against them for unjust enrichment at great cost to the creditors of the estate of the FTX group.

The usual well known friends, family, and lovers cartel are once again caught facilitating government corruption!

This is a never ending carrousel of corruption that has kept our country enslaved post independence.

**Bahamians are undoubtably THE biggest fools in the hemisphere!**

I am slowly beginning to understand why so many Bahamians believe that the corrupt cabal which exists in the US congress and US intelligence agencies may be of a much greater existential threat to The Bahamas than the ChiComs who have set up shop in our nation and now have control over our puppet government.

Genuine friends of our nation would not allow or assist in the cover up of criminal acts perpetrated by Bahamian government officials and other well connected members of our political ruling class. Protecting such persons only serves to leave the Bahamian people vulnerable to the severe social and economic effects of future criminal activities that will undoubtedly be committed by these very same persons.

The Bahamian people really deserve better from the US government and the US people.

I don't see where you keep coming from with the angle that the Chinese own our government, I saw you mention something similar on the article regarding the Palestinian recognition. I don't see anything to suggest that the Chinese strong armed the government into recognizing Palestine, but we have documented proof that we were forced to sanction Russia by the US "government" lest we (implicitly) end up sanctioned ourselves (a conflict that has nothing to do with our day to day lives and in which the moral lines are a lot greyer than the Palestine issue). The Chinese have a presence here but anyone who lives here can see that the American influence is far greater, which was even admitted to by the Chinese embassy a while back. As it relates to FTX, some American politicians took huge payouts just like some Bahamian ones did. They are all in on it together, and many of the worst here have ties with the worst over there. It's all a big club.

Open your eyes wider my friend. There are signs everywhere that our government is now unduly influenced by the ChiComs, contrary to the longer term interests of the Bahamian people.

Look at the large number of major construction projects that have been financed by the ChiComs, mainly employing Chinese workers from their own mainland.

Look at the related debt trap successfully created by the ChiComs over the last two or so decades as a result of the enormous increase in our small nation's external debt associated with the ChiCom sponsored projects, which many would argue are unsuitable for our environment and true national needs.

Ask yourself why the agreements signed by our successive corrupt governments with the ChiComs contain highly secretive terms regarding the collateral put up to secure the external loans in the event of default or the need for a restructuring of the debt.

Consider why an increasing number of men at the highest levels of our elitist political ruling class now often choose to wear the modern day version of the traditional Mao suit, e.g. corrupt Vomit Christie, the very greedy Snake Wilson, and so on.

Look at the ideological indoctrination being spewed at our younger people by ChiCom institutions like the hideous propagandist Confucius Institute that surreptitiously preaches values contrary to the traditional values of Bahamians.

The ChiComs, like the world's largest corporations run by the greedy billionaire oligarchs who now control the U.S. government, never act altruistically when they set up shop in another nation. Their foreign policy goal is to rape, pillage and plunder whatever resources exist in other nations to further their own interests without regard to the interests of other nations. Ask yourself why the CCP have done little to help out Haiti. Also ask yourself why the ChiComs are not yet willing to consider funding major infrastructural projects in The Bahamas related to our energy and potable water needs.

But the great distinction that exists in the case of the ChiComs is their stated hell-bent goal and mission, borne out of 5,000 plus years of a culturally ingrained sense of entitlement, to establish an authoritarian global order over which the hierarchy of the CCP will rule supreme forever more.

That simple fact is beginning to scare the dickens out of the U.S. people and should do likewise for the Bahamian people before it's much too late.

**How is it possible** that those that were easily bought and paid for and owned, see little chance of running across those with sufficient integrity who are willing to expose their criminal love for SBB. -- Hope they'll be proven wrong.---Yes?

Exposed2C ....... The Chinese are slowly buying up the Western Hemisphere just as the Arabs are buying up Africa.

The West prides itself on capitalism ....... The East is beating the West at its own capitalist game.

So be it ..........

The problem is, while the US has made significant strides in stamping out the most blatant forms of racism, the ChiComs will never so. They are infinitely more adept and ruthless in seizing strangle-hold control of other nations (especially black nations), to achieve their domination objectives, than the US government could or would ever be with the help of its greedy corporate friends and the super billionaire class.

None of us should ever forget that the CCP has zero respect for property and human rights of any kind that they perceive would conflict with their goals and objectives. The meteoric rise of Communist China is directly attributable to western nations and their corporations foolishly not cracking down on the theft of billions and billions of dollars of intellectual property over the last four decades in exchange for access to cheap labour.

That has now come back to bite the western nations, especially the US, in the proverbial butt. And while western nations have come a long way in fighting all forms of racism, I can assure you that generations of Bahamians will come and go and none of them will ever see a black man, or even a woman of colour, be elected leader of the CCP.

We must be careful to avoid thinking the foreign policy initiatives of the ChiComs can't possibly be any worse than those of the US government. As much as we like seeing the US get a taste of its own medicine in the way it has gravely mistreated so many other nations over many decades, including the Bahamas, we must accept that the ChiComs are exponentially much more devious and evil in all their endeavours aimed at dominating the world.

**Ignorance is bliss!** US controlled media propaganda has very successfully done a yeoman's job of demonizing China.

Africa is the most prominent example of US manipulation and exploitation which unquestionably explains the reason Africa is expediently ridding itself of the US and its allies that have held Africa in bondage for far to long!

The ChiComs have enslaved millions of Africans by the devious and hideous use of their now well honed debt trap aimed at seizing control of nations with mineral resources or other strategic assets such as sea ports at key choke points for shipping traffic. They are now employing the same debt trap tactics right under the belly of US in the western hemisphere. Ignorance is only bliss for those who do not understand, or decide to ignore, the harsh reality of what is occurring with the help of duped and/or bribed political leaders all over the world.

And "Yes", the US government and its greedy corporate partners have a long history of exploiting other nations whenever they can to get whatever they want. But the sinister and evil ChiComs are driven by an overriding goal that makes their seizure and control of other nations many orders of magnitude worse than the US government and its corporate partners could ever be.
