Again, how many times must we do this. Sam was charged with giving out money that wasnt his. The money belong to someone else. Why is anybody surprised that the people whose money it was want their money back?

"*The UK Guardian reported that in criminal charges filed in the state of New York, the Department of Justice has alleged that the donations were the result of criminal money laundering, since the money was effectively taken from customer accounts.*"

Said this weeks ago. The same applies if you take your hard earned money to buy a stolen car "in good faith". It dont matter that you didnt know. The car stolen

Why we always shocked and surprised about everything? Chester Cooper surprised the airlines think the fees are exorbitant. All it would have taken was some analyst verifying revenues to compare what was charged today versus what was charged in previous years. Seems like a standard business exercise to see if a new revenue stream was bringing in earningas expected. I bet they just looked at the total and clapped their hands like they did with VAT

Thats the quote of the century!!

He doesnt appear to be a strategist. They havent done one thing to address road violations and it was the lowest hanging fruit possible, so many simple fixes that could have a huge impact on everyine, but they couldnt even think of that, just silly messages about drive with caution.

I hope this dont work out like the plan to *hold the line at 100 murders* back in September

"*as it takes full responsibility of the gaps in the Digital Assets and Registered Exchanges (DARE) Act.*

So is this an admission that absolutely noone was performing an oversight function for FTX? cause this isnt rocket science. This sounds like the SCB was in their 10th dream over the entire of last year and nobody trust them to stay awake in future

"*draft guidelines also call for SFIs to ensure customers are “adequately informed of the fundamental benefits, risks and terms of the products” they are investing in*"

This has been one of the really and truly baffling things for me, unless I missed it, I didnt hear one statement from the SCB warning ordinary Bahamians about the inherit risk of cryptocurrency when FTX'S arrival spurred all kinds of reckless talk about new industries and how we would benefit and opportunities for the young people. I saw excitement. So much so the regulator is now putting on a conference to advertise the jurisdiction... its just WEIRD

This should have been a story about making wise selections for your mate.

"*said the group had some challenges, including the weather and being first in the line-up.*"

Thats not what they said before the parade. First position was nothing cuz *they was ready*. Can we just fix it one time? Is it impossible for an A group to be ready at 12AM? If it is fix something. Make the banners more transportable, make the groups smaller, something, stage the costumes in a warehouse downtown from the night before, build a junkanoo arena.. do something so in 50 years we dont have to look down from heaven and see people talking about how hard it was to come out first

Duties we supposed to be eliminated with VAT. Why are we paying up to 65% for cars and car parts?

You may want another 50 years of what we had. I want better

"*junkanoo returned – and it was dazzling*"

This is why we never get any better. Whatever we get served if they show one spark of brilliance it was the greatest show ever. If every year we can only get A performances out of 2 groups in each category why are we wasting millions supporting 10 groups?

"*There was even one clip posted online of a dancer struggling with a costume as it fell apart, but she shrugged it off and just kept going*"

This sums up the experience, costume falls apart, *what spirit*... no the costume fell apart, on Bay St, the feedback should be, *great spirit **but** my what substandard presentation*. We need to provide realistic feedback not hyped up euphoria

**This why Sam was able to rob everybody, say anything, Bahamians dont care for facts, just hype**
