emphasis to key point made by "banker" in earlier comment to this article: Sarkis Izmirlian and his legal representatives outside of the Bahamas must always be mindful of the fact that Perry Christie and his Cabinet are as firmly in bed with the Chinese as they are with the racketeering mobsters behind the 'illegal' gambling houses now operating with impunity on just about every street corner in our country today. Christie, Davis, Wilchcombe and Maynard-Gibson in particular should be seen as being, for all intents and purposes, agents of the Chinese when it comes to that ruthless foreign government's business and other interests in the Bahamas. It is therefore almost impossible for Sarkis/Baha Mar to get an unbiased fair hearing before any court (judge) in the Bahamas on any matter pertaining to the legal actions they have initiated outside of the Bahamas. Sarkis/Baha Mar and their legal representatives must remain very wary of this fact. Being as dependent as the financially weak Bahamas now is on foreign direct investment from China, the lead legal representatives of Sarkis/Baha Mar in the U.S. and U.K. can expect for the Christie-led PLP government and the Attorney-General of The Bahamas (Allyson Maynard-Gibson) to push very hard for the Bahamian courts to have jurisdiction over the matters under dispute and now the subject of asserted claims. Their efforts to do so must be vigorously thwarted or the Chinese will end up obtaining the home field advantage in the Bahamian court system.

Let's see if I've got this right. Christie and Davis have very recently agreed the Bahamas government is to pay (and may have already paid) Baha Mar $21 million of the Bahamian taxpayers' hard earned money in connection with the outrageous cost overruns incurred on the grossly over valued road works project. Meanwhile Baha Mar owes BEC, or should I say the hard working Bahamian taxpayers, $19.5 million which they (Baha Mar) have sought protection from paying by filing a bankruptcy petition in a foreign jurisdiction. Are Christie and Davis as daft as daft can be?!! Have these two clowns had their personal nests so well feathered by others that they now feel compelled to just give away the Bahamian people's money?!!!!!

Bankruptcy filed in the U.S. Gotta hand it to Izzie, at least he knew there was no chance in hell of him getting a fair shake in the Courts here in the Bahamas. Recent highly controversial rulings of our Supreme Court and Court of Appeals provide ample evidence of the derailment of our train of justice. Besides, it's abundantly clear now that our Christie-led PLP government has all along been in bed with the Chinese much to the chagrin of the Izmirlian family!

I think you more accurately intended to say: "Christie...has effectively admitted 'his government's' guilt..."

Why do the "rainbow types" always label the opposing view as bigots? The "non-rainbow types" usually don't label the "rainbow types" as bigots! Are the labels "rainbow types" and "non-rainbow types" evidence of bigotry by their very use? If so, how do we deal with terms like "racist" and "non-racist"? Is "bigger" offensive to "smaller" and "shorter" offensive to "taller"? Geez, I'm lost for the use of appropriate or politically correct comparisons and adjectives when I talk about just about anything these days! Being called a "black man" instead of an "African-Bahamian" quite frankly would not be the least offensive to me!

Not sure I would describe the AG's Office as a ministerial portfolio in the hands of anyone but Maynard-Gibson.

The delusional overly ambitious one in the bunch with the longest knife is the quiet one: Freddy Boy!
