Christie may not appreciate that he needs to tread more carefully than he thinks, no matter how beholden he may have allowed himself to become to the Chinese. The Izmirlians, if pushed enough, may well decide enough is enough and take all of their battles into court both here and abroad for decades to come while they and their heirs sit back and watch us Bahamians suffer for having tolerated such a high level of unacceptable corruption within the Christie-led PLP government. After all, fair is fair!

To Well_mudda: You really need to start taking your own advice and simply ignore Tal as a PLP troll paid to disseminate misinformation and disinformation.

It's indeed amazing that the Bahamian government is making these discriminatory salary payments without court approval if, as the government purports in its petition, Baha Mar is insolvent. These illegal salary payments being made by the government are for its own political purposes; the government is clearly using the Bahamian employees concerned as pawns. The salary payments undoubtedly constitute a fraudulent preference perpetrated by our government against the creditors and other stakeholders of Baha Mar, not to mention all Bahamians as taxpayers. All foreigners and foreign courts cannot help but notice our government's blatant and contemptuous disregard for the law in order to achieve its own greedy and vindictive agenda; an agenda that it apparently shares with the project's principal general contractor, CCA, and lender, CEXIMB.

The boogeyman is coming for you Tal.....make sure you learn to sleep with one eye open and never sleep in the same place twice ;-) BOO!

WHOA!! This would explain a lot of things and be a real game changer! Ever since the Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection filing by Baha Mar, many of us have been scratching our heads wondering why on earth has the Christie-led PLP government been so eager to blindly align itself with the interests of CCA in the ongoing dispute....to the extent of initiating actions clearly detrimental to the resolution of the dispute and possibly fatal to the completion of the project. Ruffin's recent appearance on the scene is akin to a big vulture having been invited by his former attorney (Christie) to feast on what Christie believes will become a feeding frenzy on a juicy carcass as a result of the harmful actions taken by the Bahamian government against the interests of Baha Mar and the Izmirlian family. And just think for a moment, Edward Snowden has already released irrefutable evidence that the U.S. government (NSA) has a record of every voice and email communication that was ever transmitted to or from any party in or outside of the Bahamas and every party within the Bahamas during the past decade.

Here's what one well-known Bahamian journalist had to say about George Smith's role in the history of the Bahamas as far back as 1982: ".....the Bahamas was in the throes of a criminal takeover by South American drug cartels. The Colombian flag was raised over Norman's Cay in George Smith's Exuma constituency by the notorious gangster Carlos Lehder, who drove ordinary visitors away at gunpoint and orchestrated hourly cocaine flights to the US. The 1984 Commission of Inquiry found that Smith had accepted gifts and hospitality from Lehder, who is now serving a long sentence in an American jail. In fact, one parliamentarian said at the time that 'Pindling and his crew make the Bay Street Boys look like schoolchildren.'" Smith will tell you he has since welcomed the Good Lord into his life and sought, found and received forgiveness and redemption for all of his earlier transgressions.....what a bunch of poppy cock for anyone who really knows this scoundrel!
