**Charge each and every one of them with stealing**

They took goods that **obviously someone had paid** for

**This was within hours of the incident, so how could anybody say "*it was abandoned*"? They're simply trying to justify what they know was wrong**. It's a ridiculous copout.

The island administrator said "*yes its illegal, but*", the Bishop offered some perverted "*common man*" interpretation of stealing your neighbours fruits because, my words, "*what they need all them for*".

When I hear people make these kinds of statements I immediately wonder if they or their relatives have the stolen washing machine or dryer in the back room. A Bishop no less, my God save us.

I am sorry peoples investments are being destroyed

But how long has there been an outcry to address the nonsense shantytown construction at Arawak Cay???

The buildings are too close together constructed to no standard visual or otherwise and likely have zero fire protection. In fact fire protection among that tinder with stoves and gas tanks within 2ft of each other, would be an almost impossible task.

After this **maybe** PM Davis and Clay Sweeting will demand that the haphazard construction to the east is also removed. You're building economics on a foundation of qtips. Unaddressed It will only get worse, maybe next time patrons will be trapped inside.

Planning for over a year... action coinciding with bielection campaign... and expected to take 12months. Sufficient time not to have to finish anything.

"*engineers will likely divert water to the canals*"

The engineers know best, what is the level difference in the canal when the road is vs isnt flooded and how much additional volume can it handle? Also by varying rainfall total what volume is expected to be added to the lake in a rain event?

Too bad. Looking forward to more long boring (as correctly characterized by Perry Christie) parades with 200 drunk, bad music, ill organized scrap groups thrown in as entertainment. I hear the music maker and prodigal sons have promised they will be there... when since has anyone looked forward to seeing either group?

We live off fantasies in our head of what "junkanoo" actually is

Hooray for keeping more of the same!!

This is probably the most challenging position in the Bahamas

But **they botched the handling of the nurse**. Because all of the information was already known, they should have instead used the opportunity to hold a joint conference and detail how all concerns were being or would be addressed and by when. **The "new" hospital is another failed opportunity. I often wonder if it was all about** the developer of swamp Pinewood Gardens **offloading another swatch of unattractive swamp land**. I dont know, I just wonder. **Because its beyond belief that you would plan a hospital on an already low lying island on fecal contaminated swamp land.**

**All around our parliament is simply failing.**

On Bahamas short of 500 nurses

Sogh. We dont need photo ops. We need traffic laws enforced, elimination of corruption on the police force and the high ranking politician selling cocaine for a two million dollar payment to be arrested

To clarify. Active rain settles "*above*" ground and it can pool above ground. Long and hard enough in low lying areas or "bowls" you could get high water. It would then seep under doors if theres enough of it. "Active" rain does not seep from *under the floor*. Water coming from under the floor speaks to heavily saturated conditions already there pre-rain. If it rains long and hard enough that rain can merge with the already settled water to rise through the floor

And to be fair to the SC, whistleblower reporting is how many financial irregularities are caught in the financial world.

What is alarming about this case and the FTX case is, these two structures were ground breaking ventures into a new Bahamian financial paradigm, and **both**, crypto and crowd funding carried great risk. It was odd then for somone other than the SC to raise reports about "governance". This is something you can demand up front and then check to see that structural norms are being adhered to.

Sigh. Are you talking about Dorian?

This story speaks of rain over the course of one day and people wading through knee deep water, that's 2-3 ft. When people speak about that depth of water, "rain" is almost **never** the source. Your example of water ***coming from under the floor*** would back that theory up as rain does **not** come from under the floor, pooled "*ground water*" does. What rain would do is exacerbate the already saturated conditions

Tribune September 2023:
"*Mdollaz, which trades as ArawakX, was registered with the Securities Commission on January 18, 2021, to conduct business as a crowd-funding marketplace and clearing facility under the Securities Industry (Business Capital) Rules 2021. It was initially owned 50/50 by Mr Rahming and his son.*

*Hillary Deveaux, one of Ms Rolle’s predecessors as Securities Commission executive director, was on Mdollaz/ArawakX’s Board but he resigned on December 9, 2022, to become a whistleblower. Together with James Campbell, the former Colina Insurance Company president, and Felix Stubbs, the former IBM Bahamas chief, **he met with the regulator on October 11, 2022, to voice concerns** about the platform’s operations and corporate governance structure.*:

Yes, that's correct, **as I said before, the largest investor and board member blew the whistle. There is another news article that details his report to the police**. It was **not** Securities Commision monitoring that caught this.

As to being "*ignorant*", I confess, call the knowledge police, there is much to know in the world and I dont know 1/1000,000th of it. And half of what I do know I dont know all and sometimes get wrong
