hey, were you involved in the scam collecting govt boater fees but not actually sending all that money to the govt? and there was some libel suit about it but that just disappeared for not being libel at all?

day in court over video is acceptable all over world grandpa. you sound like one of these criminal attorneys who make money hand over fist clogging up the courts on technicalities.

you are not quite getting the point. once the money has been borrowed from the bank, like your home, the bank gets to call all the shots like ensuring you pay for full insurance coverage. The greedy PLP govt of the 80's and 90's are the almost the sole culprits for why the IMF can dictate the rules to us now. put the blame where it is deserved. The FNM ain't much better at not borrowing and are just as happy to let the children pay it back for the folks closer to the grave.

growth! LOL! that just means more inflation. i've come to realise that countries that experience growth do not do well in the long term. growth in this context is simply a concept of greed and printing free money or accounting creativity that allow you to borrow more money.

par for course with the RBPF who have clear and present entitlement syndrome along with ivory tower perspective of do as I say not as I do just like an abuse father. The elected officials do nothing but line their pockets case in point - by the time the Bahamas got around to creating a law banning cigarette lighters on passenger planes the USA had already repealed it. Guess, what the Bahamas didn't repeal it either because the elected eejits too busy lining pickets and giving out land to buddies and sweethearts. I lost all respect for the force in 80's when they started this bogus death race on the streets. Lets not even begin to address the wild behavior of individuals careening around the streets for fun instead of doing actual police work.

I don't know man but I kind of like it a bit quieter on the water these days. Last week MH and HT harbours got plenty traffic though not a busy as last year but maybe that is a good thing. And do these marinas charge premium rates and get like $0.60 to $1.00 per kwh reselling electricity? A 35 foot used vessel avg cost these days is around $100,000 which is disposable income. Abaco beach daily docking for a 35 vessel is $184 per day. That over $1000 for 6 days but we talking about what nah?

it would seem that "florida man" thought he could get away with anything and that the Bahamas does not have law and order. Despite the easy going facade that is presented for the tourism economy you can be sure that not paying your taxes will result in dire circumstances. take a que from Al Capone and keep your tax up to date at all times.

so what was taxable is now not taxable as raw undeveloped land. good job in collecting those revenues and being efficient with govt public purse funds.

the president of the country can break laws but the average joe better not right?

2 very contrasting response comments above - kind of exemplifies the Bahamas .BS
