Sad but true...and even when you do let foreign investment into the country under certain conditions, they will still friggin mess with you and want to rework the deal...
Yeap...Marlon is no fool...he sees how the govt are trying to muscle back into BTC...it's already a sinking ship due to CWC's inability to lift an business that was already in disrepair into a streamlined well run machine. Let in the competition and let BTC implode...may the stronger and more reliable phone and cell provider win!!
Bah...enough money into the right hands and laws are meaningless...or they will take so long to get the legal motion to gain some traction that the damage will be done anyways.
Tal...while I have not seen the contracts, I can almost gaurantee that part of the agreements between the US and the Bahamas to facilitate a pre-clearance facility at NAS require the Bahamas to put the people before the courts. Bear in mind that it was very likely a US Customs official alerted to the cash and initiated the whole process of bringing the Bahamian law enforcement officals in to detain and process these people after the fact. I've carried more than 10,000 into the US, it's really quite simple, you declare it, fill out a form, and just as fast as you fill out a form and answer a couple questions you are on your way, with your cash in hand. To be secretive about it simply raises the alarm bells.
Unfortunately it is a US restriction that we are bound to uphold. Whenever you fill out one of those blue US Customs form, you open yourself up to this risk.
I think I should sue BEC...I pay my bill in full each month...going to sue them for interest that I could have earned by NOT paying like they let everyone else do.

Willing to bet that the Bahamas got next to ZERO revenue from this foreign dive boat operating in our waters.

Laughing as well...but crying as well that some people are voting YES!! Neither Christie or Ingraham should run again, they are past their prime.
On Prime Minister Perry Christie said the people will decide if he runs again at the next election. Do you think he should?
