"*This means that any investor in the Bahamas can be taken to a US court and have their US assets seized.*"
Actually..... **no**
This means that any investor in the Bahamas who is also registered as a US company **AND** has allegations of FRAUD labelled against them to acquire those assets **AND** has evidence brought to court that "***establishes beyond doubt***", direct quote, that fraud was committed, can have the disputed assets returned to the original owner.
Izmirlian has no stake in the Hilton or Margueritaville. Izmirlian didnt even ask for Bahamar back. All he said was *these people caused me great financisl damage by fraudeulent means. The **Judge** found that he proved his case. **CCA then said**, we dont have the money to pay this judgement, but we have two assets on our books that we can pledge.
"*The Chinese will want to get out of this 'US court jurisdiction' as soon as possible*"
Dream on. CCA is in the business of making money and the US is the best market to make it in. The only way they exit that market is if the US forces them out. Which they wont.
"*They have witnessed what has happened to Russian assets in the US.*"
Russia had sanctions levied against them when they imprisoned the leader of the Russian opposition.
God gave *most* of us a working brain. He expects us to use it, not sit down and claim that "we in his hands". Remember the biblical story of the man with talents?
The report doesnt mention port operations under the eyes of rbpf, rbdf, Immigration and Customs who appear to be highly susceptible to corrupt practices aided by "*a high ranking politician*"
If you believe Izmirlian went through all this as some elaborate ruse, you've clearly never envisioned and developed a big idea. The idea and its development become a part of your flesh and blood, you dont part with it lightly. And clearly, dragging through court for 10 long years, Izzy wasnt giving up his flesh and blood
It would be customary for the head of CDU to show up at a murder scene. Curtis would likely be present at a major drug bust at the airport. The two are mutually exclusive. Also people are nosey.
But this is pretty bad. A. How are these persons involved? Are they part of the problem or elimited because they tried to root out the problem? B. Inside the store? I believe this is a troubling first, at least I cant recall another.
I dont understand why the police allow this gridlock every single year. It's like noone has a brain. I can understand in an emergency where there's no time to plan a more efficient distribution, but year after year, they "plan" this and all they say is avoid the area, knowing full well that people work and go to school in the area and cant avoid it? Please get these people to register at their constituency office next year and give them a specific date and time for pickup.
But I guess they want pictures giving charity to masses of desperate people.
Just a general, unrelated comment, I recall when the allegations were made against Nygard. Just "*allegations*", no trial and men, all men, popped up to say what a good man he was and how much money he'd donated to sports.
I've been asking myself the question what are Bahamians especially men willing to ignore if they **think** they **might** get some money? It's a very sobering and disappointing reality. We will sell our first born girl (or boy) child for a dollar
Police arent the solution in this case. The police could have passed two seconds earlier and even though they were in the area, they would have been no use. This needed the people there to respond, **the problem was they did not know what to do. "Filming" as sick as it appears, is a natural response "today", so someone didnt think twice before pulling out their phone and recording. But running into a fight "today" is not a natural response, a caveman on the other hand would have known he had to fight**. This incident has likely shown people that they need to respond. But it needs more training in the community so it becomes a natural response and it's done safely given circumstances, weapon/no weapon
