Tal, The Bahamar deal is still a mystery to all but you. The Courts have the final say on that matter, but no sane thinking person could possibly believe that the FNM will not carefully review what has transpired in the Secret Sealed Deal, and make decisions it deems necessary. The difference is that You and I will know what decisions they make, and not be in the guessing game that Perry and crew left us in.

Perhaps Tal, it would have made you feel better if the FNM had not honoured the PLP's commitment to pay the overtime promised. They are a government that will honour the previous government's obligations, as that is the correct thing to do, particularly in situations such as this. However, do not expect carte blanche adherence to deals that were made which have a detrimental effect on the country or the Bahamian people. Those who engineered such arrangements need to be seeking legal counsel, as many of them will be called to account for their actions. This will be something new for our country, as crookedness has been the order of the day for fifty plus years.

I thought the Russians were hacking the Tribune. LOL.

Bahamasfor bahamians I am not arguing whether anyone stays or goes. My view is that if the audit and investigations reveal that individuals were complicit in stealing funds from BPL or any other entity, whether they are fnm, plp, dna, or whatever, they should be treated in the same manner and brought before the courts. Unlike you, however, I am not prepared to brand anyone as a thief or being negligent in their duties, solely on the basis of their political affiliation. I have not been given the power to pass judgement, and will wait until all the facts are revealed. As this is the prudent thing to do, I suggest you do the same.

Big statements from one of the alledged biggest "tip takers" in BPL. Nothing gets done unless it goes through Paul. What are you going to do? Close BPL down unless some managers are fired? Are they innocent or guilty? You and Bahamas for Bahamians could form a coalition and make sure that all the FNM executive and management team are locked up because they are, according to him/her FNM's. This is enough reason. He/she has already branded and convicted all of them, Particularly Ms. Green who is hated by this individual with a passion. What a crock of s--t.

Your posts speak for themselves. You now are saying "IF $1 million has walked out". Prior post said "How is it then, you've been paid 6 figures per annum handsomely for over ten years to financially control BEC/BPL but could not detect an excess of $1 million walking out the door on fake invoices. Over a period of a year +". Now it is IF; before it was conclusive. As I said before, let the audit determine what has transpired. Let those responsible face the consequences. But don't push this story about "because they are FNM" nothing will happen to them, when you are not certain that they have done anything deserving of retribution. Be fair.

So they have not been arrested because, according to you, they are FNM supporters. You have characterized Mrs. Green as being "obvious derelict of her duties". You seem to have more facts than the police department and the Auditors(who are still investigating). You may wish to help them out by providing them with some of your evidence (which is nothing more than bitterness toward the current government). If the investigations reveal any person as being complicit in this matter, regardless of political affiliation, they should, and will be made to account for their actions. Watch out Mr. Beneby and Ms. Green, there is a blogger who has damning information about you. Ha Ha.

Birdie, both those men went before the courts, and were convicted. The courts decided their fate. This is what should happen to all who break the law, regardless of their. affiliation. Now, we can argue as to why the courts apparently treat those with the high powered attorneys, differently than the average person. Note, that Mr. Gibson, Mr. Fitzgerald, Mr. Wilchcombe, Mr. Miller, Mrs. Maynard-Gibson, and many others have not been officially questioned regarding their alleged indiscretions. They will be. As will ALL who have been charged with misappropriation of public funds, or abusing their elected positions to unfairly generate illicit income. The courts will decide the penalty for all convicted.

Bahamas for Bahamas, it appears that you know who the suspects are and what their political affiliation is. Enlighten us please. Also, I believe Nat Beneby was recently appointed by the PLP, and I believe that Cecil Greene was a PLP appointee, as well. Regardless of that, you also know for a fact that the entire executive of BPL is FNM. Wow, I thought the Ballot was a secret, and the boxes sealed. The simple fact that you believe that an FNM or PLP criminal will be treated and prosecuted in a different manner, belies the fact that you think all parties are run by the standards of the now deposed PLP. The evidence and courts will decide the innocence and guilt of accused individuals, not their political affiliation. If not, according to your logic, Dion Smith would be locked up, not questioned and set free. He was PLP, was he not? Better get used to crooked people being made accountable, because that is what should, and will, happen. Just because Wayne Munroe represents you, does not mean you are innocent. In fact, it is an indicator of just the opposite. A high profile defender, for someone who is afraid of the consequences of their actions.
Cheques written to fictitious companies, based on fictitious invoices, are hard evidence. Their paper trail will direct auditors, and the police. to their origin and those who created them.

Tal, the Bank of the Bahamas is a disgrace. It is not a controlling factor in our economy. Even before the election, the Central Bank was pushing them to come up with more capital which comes from you and me. Shutting them down will have little consequence for the country, and as for the shareholders, their shares are not worth the paper they are printed on. Any sensible depositor should have removed their funds long ago. Liquidation may yield them some small return on their investments, but under no circumstance should government inject more NIB money into this F--K up. Audit, investigate, and liquidate. Let the chips fall where they may, and let all the borrowers who are not paying, and the Senior Management who are basking in their severance package, and retirement , face the music. And I hope it ain't sweet.
