I understand he's one of the brighter ones. But he does appear to lack enthusiasm in that post and thats probably just as bad.
When he announced that he'd never heard of a "*SKU*" until the ruckus **after** he made transformational changes to price control my ears almost dropped off... shouldnt that have come up somewhere in the analysis and reporting on policy drafts that would have had dramatic impact on the economy??? Even more weird, rather than reacting in horror, the people in the room all giggled (assuming technocrats, retailer reps, reporters) as if he'd said something funny.
Leaders dont have to know everything, the people serving them better make sure they have all the info before making potentially economy wrecking decisions
Hmmm... that would be interesting if they could make the claim that the purchase could not have happened without the loan of 50m. Then the question who's responsible? Deltec got the loan....
I think people in the know knew something was wrong when Bankman started going around to local banks in Nov 2021, offering 12% for cash. That detail would go over the average consumer's (like me) head when they heard it back in 2021 when all was good, but these guys who live and die by interest rate adjustments would have immediately started speculating. Why would anyone pay 12% for cash in 2021 when retail banks are offering 0% on cash deposits? especially a company whos foundational principle is *cash is so passe*? *Somebodies* with power knew, or speculated, and Im betting were having discussions privately amongst themselves
But is is beyond belief that nobody knew about the massive amount of funds leaving the country's jurisdiction. Nobody asked for evidence client funds in the millions were segregated. Nobody asked for continuous monitoring of client funds... one of the long stream of dereliction of duty or co-conspirator law suits to come will eventually succeed
They need to provide a public report of the number of these mistakes happening at the hospital every month. Nothing improves performance more than accountability. And with their ability to hide what should be public statistics they do not have to be accountable to anyone no matter how many people get killed or harmed through indisputable malpractice
I think we have an issue with reading comprehension. The ruling said basically, "*we recognize the sovereignty of the Bahamas to do whatever they want in their country*"
THEN, went on to say
"*Detailing its position, the US Department of Transportation said: “After analysing the entire record of this proceeding, **we have serious concerns that the air navigation service charges imposed by bansa may not fall within the reasonable level** vis-à-vis The Bahamas’ cost for the provision of air navigation services, and we question whether the charges are fully consistent with Article 10 of the Air Transport Agreement, which entered into force on January 27, 2020.”*
"*While **we are concerned that the charges potentially exceed a reasonable cost basis** as contemplated in the agreement, the record shows that air navigation fees are imposed on US carriers at equal rates with the charges imposed on Bahamian and third-country carriers,” the ruling found. “In those circumstances, we are unable to conclude that the charges constitute discriminatory activity.” Without proof of discrimination, the industry’s case has no basis for success*
**So the Dept of Transportation dismissed the claim on the basis that it there was no evidence it was "*discriminatory*" because everybody getting charge what they believe might be excessive fees**
