A lot of truth to what you say here 'banker'. I would certainly make it a point to quickly sell my shares in any company Julian Francis becomes associated with, whether as a director, advisor, consultant or whatever!

The Tribune gives Galanis the time of day for the same reason they give that other scoundrel George Smith the time of day....to remind us that slime has no shame and will always try to slip back into our lives to cause more harm than good.

Christie is like Bozo the Clown, except for his Pinocchio nose; just one Jokey Leader as KB would say!

You can't be blindsided when you are paid to be blind!

You're wrong. It's a national tragedy caused by insatiable greed and corruption that rises to the very top of our government!

You are so right about Commonwealth Bank. Unless you are Rupert Roberts or a member of the Symonette family and their close friends, you are being ripped off big time by Commonwealth Bank!

Well_mudda_take_sic who posts here often and obviously knows Minnis well has been saying for years that the evilness of Minnis has no bounds.

It wouldn't surprise me to hear that Maynard-Gibson has told Christie not to worry about the fallout from this sensless killing because it only lasts until the next senseless killing which is guaranteed to happen in short order given the murder rate in our country today. Yep, that's probably exactly how the Wicked Witch goes about calming our country's Jokey Leader today when it comes to his fears about the next general election! These people running our government are nothing more than corrupt greedy incompetent low-life shmuts!!

Yeah, you're absolutely right! Popeyes was operating in the Bahamas many years ago. I overheard a well known White Knight lawyer taking great joy in telling his wealthy friends at a recent Lyford Cay social that the Popeyes franchise for the Bahamas was previously owned by that crooked accountant and tax dodger named Ishmael Lightbourne and one of his accountant business partners. The White Knight lawyer claimed that Lightbourne and one of his "light skinned" accountant partners tried to screw him in their business dealings with him many years ago relating to one of their Popeyes locations over-the-hill but he ended up getting the better of them and teaching them a good lesson when they eventually went out of business. One of the White Knight lawyer's friends roared with laughter saying that obviously Ishmael Lightbourne had not experienced "a teachable moment" back then because he clearly bounced back to new heights of crookedness in the years since! The White Knight lawyer was only too quick to add that Lightbourne's former partners at the Price Water House accounting company got ripped off big time by Lightbourne and that's why they fired him more than 10 years ago. Someone else at the social chimed in saying that Lightbourne was now quite content sucking off the teat of Public Treasury thanks to Christie!

Re-post: The Izmirlian family recognized the dire need for Baha Mar to obtain Delaware Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection against the wrongful liquidity squeeze play that the Chinese state-controlled general contractor (China Construction Co.) and lender (China Export-Import Bank) had subjected it to with the help of the Christie-led PLP government. Now the vultures (provisional liquidators and their lawyers and accountants, receiver and his lawyers and accountants, the growing multitude of financial and engineering consultants and their lawyers and accountants, etc. etc.) have all landed on the dead carcass of Baha Mar to devour what they can, creating for the project a liquidity crisis more than 100 times greater than the one Baha Mar originally had at the end of June 2015 when Sarkis filed for Chapter 11 in the U.S. It is now the Chinese government who is having to pay all the bills submitted by the very costly vultures and one has to wonder how long the Chinese government will continue doing so before they realize it may be better to cut their losses. But Red China has to weigh everything against all the benefits it has received and continues to receive from the following: (1) the Chinese labour it has and continues to employ on projects in the Bahamas; (2) the Izmirlian familiy's US$900+ million equity stake in the project handed over to it by the Christie-led PLP government; (3) the geo-political stronghold gained in the Western Hemisphere right under and next to the U.S.A.; (4) the strategic spy post it will have (to be known as The Pointe) immediately across the street from the U.S. Embassy in the Bahamas; (5) the access for its latest class of nuclear powered submarines to the Tongue of the Ocean deep water trench; and so on, and so on. I just can't wait until Americans find out from Donald Trump, Ted Cruze or Rubio in the crucial run-up period to the next presidential election what Red China has been doing right on Uncle Sam's door step (right under his nose) with the help of the Christie-led PLP government elected by the Bahamian people! If Bahamians think its hard for them to get a U.S. travel or student visa now....you just wait!
