Be reminded that the damning evidence in the illegal dumping conviction of the cruise line in Florida were the internal emails, ~"*just alter the logs on waste disposal*", same for the Bahamar case, ~"*you have to fake it(construction work) better*"

"*What was "teeth" supposed to be graded against with us being a leader on crypto regulation*"

**You've swallowed the koolaid.**

One of the first things that was clear when FTX imploded was they had zero oversight.

At minimum anybody monitoring their operation should have noticed the millions flowing out the country, at minimum. At minimum someone should have noticed there was zero governance infrastructure. At minimum someone should have known the open secret that **Bahamians** were sending in money to trade crypto, an activity that wasnt licensed. At minimum someone should have then noticed that client deposits werent segregated, were dwindling and grouped with the money flowing out. At minimum someone should have noticed that barring the unlicensed activity, Sam was calculating margins on billions on his fingers and toes. **These are just some of the surface level oversights that are mindboggling when someone is claiming to have exercised exemplarary regulatory control where nothing else could have been done to stop this**

"*want to assure persons who are listening that The Bahamas remains safe," she said. "What we see happening are isolated incidents.*"

Everyone who's listening knows "*something*" unusual is happening that doesnt negate the fact that it's happening and safety is at risk.

It does seem badly rehearsed

"*Again, it goes back to the family, when persons are not trained properly, when they are not taught to respect people’s property, and people, this is what you see spilling out.*"

No it goes right to Parliament, corruption and a general sense of disorder that's been allowed to go unchecked for at least 7 years. Did it miss the spokesman that a **police officer** is currently in custody for this weekend's drive by shooting with multiple rounds of ammunition found at his home? Assuming they're not police issued...

"*Officers said they would increase patrols in the area*"

Shouldnt this area already be "*saturated*" with patrols? And it's probably the rival turf that'll be the next target, not this one.

15yr old murdered in drive by shooting? Pretending that everything ok doesn't make it ok. The world can see the bruises

"Kaboom". Lol

"***new claims, based on nearly 7,000 pages of Telegram messages provided by Caroline Ellison**, former girlfriend and crony of FTX founder, Sam Bankman-Fried, who has herself admitted wrongdoing and gave evidence against her former lover as part of a plea deal with US federal prosecutors, alleged that Deltec and its chairman, Jean Chalopin, played a key role in crafting the DARE Act.*"

"***the lawsuit also seemingly drew on Telegram messages from Ryan Salame, head of FTX Digital Markets**, the crypto exchange’s Bahamian subsidiary,*"

Well.. contemporaneous accounts hold great weight in court proceedings

Has anyone else noticed the number of persons going before the court for drug position? Not marijuana, strange stuff.

I mentioned to a foreign friend in relation to the crime spree that I did not know if we still had big drug problem. How big is this really?

I see businessman Hield was before the court for distribution, I'm assuming to most people who knew him he was a regular hard working family man. But here it is he has an assortment of drugs stored in the wall of his house. We've had cases of a few persons dying and fentanyl found in their system, one young lady was before the court last week for possession of Indian hemp.

How big is our drug problem? Did the 70's and 80's just go underground simply eliminating the visible thick gold chains and over the top Broncos or is this something lesser?

And who are the customers?

Those children need to be placed in detention. This act is very serious and signs of troubling psychological issues in at minimum the alphas in the group and poor reasoning skills among the followers.

They also need pschological counseling and to be placed on probation for 5 years minimum. Their parents should also be assessed and if possessing the same serial killer in training, bullying mindset, they should also be placed into extended psychological counseling

Some general statements: Gambling inclusive of casinos is a shady business with a seedy underbelly including drug peddling, sex trafficking and human smuggling. Property acquisition is the most common form of money laundering. Money cant buy a good name.

A specific statement: gaming is causing havoc in our inner cities compounding an already significant poverty crisis.
