Yup, exactly. Nygard: "Hey guys, I need you to tell me the same thing you told them, ok?" Thugs: "Ok boss no worries." Its pathetic. In any case, the problem for every single Bahamian is not which billionaire wants to kill which; its the content of those recordings and what it suggests about our current leaders and their relationship with Peter Nygard. Full stop. No amount of spin will change that. And everyone knows it.
Muddo... if 1987 is the reference then the PLP are definitely in deep doo doo. They won that election by the skin of their teeth, by hook AND by crook and the conductor of that particular symphony of swindle was none other than the notorious but undoubtedly very talented Lynden Pindling. These fools are not fit to tie LOP's shoes, much less pull off a 1987-style coup again. Game over.
Indeed Tal – the real issue for Nygard is the videos, not the claims of violence and etc. Why you don't please ask your government to invite him to leave? I am no fan of Christie, but what has come to light is bad for this whole country. We should all seek to divorce ourselves from this circus.
Also, why Bahamas Information Services, the government's propaganda arm, releasing a press release defending Nygard (see today's Tribune editorial)?? You would think Christie dem would have the sense to at least create the appearance of distance...
IkalikI - for real. There is only one issue here – the unholy alliance between foreign investors and politicians – no matter the particular investor or politician – has made this a nation for sale for the last half century at least. I am not a Hubert Minnis fan, but his use of this phrase is correct. The model was pioneered by the PLP, but back then the 'investors' were Colombia drug lords. Personally, I don't buy the above story, simply because it is a claim without any evidence. I would never have believed the relationship between the PM, the DPM and Nygard had I not watched those videos. The proof is in the pudding, or else these claims and the claims by Christie in today's papers are just another attempt at deflection. The bigger picture, though, is campaign finance reform to stop ANY foreigner being able to buy the government of The Bahamas, as Nygard apparently has. What a sad day for the 'independent Bahamas'.
John, remember back at the beginning of this you sought to draw an equivalence between the two billionaires, and someone asked you to show a single instance where Louis Bacon was accused of breaking laws etc? Just wanted to draw your attention to this: http://nypost.com/2016/03/14/peter-nyga…

Tal you are correct. I think it is now assured that both parties will go into election with new leaders. Which does that harm the most?
