It figures that you would be worried about the government stealing money that you would prefer end up in the pockets of the numbers' bosses. Yes indeed, we certainly know who is buttering your bread!

It is common knowledge that many suppliers and service providers to government ministries, agencies, departments and corporations deliberately submit duplicate and triplicate billings in the course of a month. They do this because they know that quite often the same bill gets paid more than once, with no claim ever being made for a refund of the duplicate or triplicate payment(s) received.

*Repost:* Simply unbelievable! Instead of pressing for the web shop legislation to be repealed in its entirety and then enforcing the complete shut down of all web shops, this yapping white-haired little poodle (D'Aguilar) simply told KP Turnquest that he should be imposing much more significant annual taxes and fees on the very impressive annual profits of the web shops. This is tantamount to saying that our government should be quite content to effectively participate as a significant profit-sharing partner in the corrupt money laundering and other racketeering activities of the numbers' bosses. Such an absurd stance by the Minnis-led FNM government only serves to anger regulators of the global financial system who cannot understand why our newly elected (and supposedly uncorrupt) government refuses to shut down the web shops and other related organizations owned and operated by the numbers' bosses that the developed countries regard as criminal enterprises. The imf, fatf, oecd, etc. are all now telecasting loud warnings that our country will face increased "de-rerisking" by the highly regulated global financial community, and a possible cutting-off from the global financial system, if we do not shut down the money laundering and other illegal activities of the numbers' bosses. It seems abundantly clear now that Minnis and his cabinet ministers have allowed themselves to be "bought" by criminal thugs like Sebas Bastian! This would make our new government no different than the last one when it comes to corruption and who is really calling the shots in our country today. Has Minnis really allowed himself to become nothing but a puppet PM beholden to Sebas Bastian?!!

None other than the very corrupt Obie Wilchcombe was the Minister Responsible for Gaming

And Wilchcombe's hanadsomely rewarded cohorts at the Gaming Board, all appointed by Christie, included the following:

Board Members (Directors):

* Ms Terah Rahming - Chairman - Joined 2012 - Is a CPA working for Weiser Asset Management Limited, a small boutique firm.

* Mr Myles Laroda

* Ms Ginger Moxey - Joined 2014 - Previously a VP of The Grand Bahama Port Authority

Secretary and Deputy Secretary:

* Mr Verdant R Scott - Secretary - Appointed 2013 - Previously a police officer in our RBPF.

* Ms Bridgette M Outten - Deputy Secretary - Appointed 2013 - An attorney.

Kenyatta Gibson and Marie Ferreira have since been appointed Chairman and Deputy Chairman, respectively, of the Gaming Board. And wouldn't we like to know how much these two are being paid compared to their predecessors?!
