So Im a little lost. This Modulo Investments that received 400m from Alameda had to declare a source of funds when they applied to be a Bahamian IBC.
The principals were clearly connected with Sam. Anyone regulating FTX would have had knowledge that theyd provided loans for Alameda and should have had a finger on the fact that the money was coming directly from customer funds. Its one unbelievable unregulated mess.
Im waiting to see what Ray details about this calculated strategy to win over the regulators and the power brokers. Because somewhere in the islands tomorrow someone will be smiling ear to ear because they got invited to the cocktail party. We need to up our ethics.
If only someone else would do something the problem would be solved. Its the same issue with climate change, If guns were to disappear from the earth the young men would use bottles and knives. What are we doing? We appointed Rodney and expected that to have a positive result. We beat up the young men when theyre detained to force a confession. We slap young men and body slam them to the ground for asking a question at a traffic stop. There are so many things we could do before pointing a finger.
When we can stop people from running red lights as a first step, Ill believe it, we're not even trying
**Our main problem is corruption.** When we accept the monthly delivery of shingles and exchange it for a nice house, a nice car, fancier clothes, we call that getting ahead, being smart and knowing how to play the game. We dont connect that with the destruction that's happening 10 miles away from us in Tin Shop Corner and Dog Flea Alley and we definitely dont recognize that its moving closer to us. Corruption also puts the wrong people in charge, people who have a reason not to do anything because it benefits them or people who have know clue what to do, both end in the same result.
**Corruption is way more damaging for us as a country than any semiautomatic, and is in fact the cause of the proliferation**
"*1,200 construction jobs consistently over the next five years.Ninety percent of these jobs will be reserved for Bahamians, and work permits will only be granted where Bahamians cannot be found in accordance with our Immigration laws and policies.*"
Sigh. History tells us they can twist these laws to mean anything. Remember the Pointe?
People in Grand Bahama still havent gotten answers on the last refinery, the prevalence of illnesses in those living in close proximity, the loud unexplained noises that made the ground shake, followed by men in hazmat suits... not science fiction, the story was detailed right in the Tribune and not one word **ever** from the govt. You have to wonder what is happening in this little country how many Rubis-like chemical contaminations have cabinet ministers not told us about?
**Well, the good thing is we now support, and are one of the most vocal proponents of Climate Change initiatives. Not a thing to worry about**
You forgot the attorney general who now says Toby's claim isnt valid because his application wasnt filed under this administration. Well that puts the who crown land system into question, applications are invalidated when govts change? These guys are coming up with absolute nonsense to support their decision to walk away from a promise that not only Toby believed but every Bahamian who voted for them believed, that includes Antoine
Are they engaged yet? I mean if I had a mega yacht and missed a chance at a proposal with the love of my life I wouldnt be wasting time going to embassies and news papers looking for apologies. Id be trying to make the disappointment up to my great love. On the other hand, if I lost money on an investment, you wouldnt hear the end of me
