Picewell -- LOL. Back in the day (early 2000's), he was involved in a salacious doings -- allegedly did to his wife what Leslie Miller said that he did to his girlfriends (and I don't mean toilet-removal from their house).
Agree that Lanisha has to go. MPs are servants of the people.

Oh my naive, gullible people. I've been saying for 5 years now, "Dere een no erl!". None. No Oil at all. This is a junior resource play. It is all about blowing off stock, making a job for yourself, and everytime Potter & Co need more money, they generate fake news. Don't believe me? Seven years ago, in 2012, this is the headline:

**Bahamas Petroleum ‘closer than ever’ to drilling**

*Bahamas Petroleum (LON:BPC), which searches for oil off the group of Caribbean islands, cut its losses in 2012, with an exciting year on the agenda thanks to new government sanctions.

A new government elected in the Bahamas last year recently confirmed that the company can drill off its shores ahead of a referendum process, which will only be held once commercial oil is found.

“We are closer than ever to realising our goal of exploring the hydrocarbon potential of the Bahamas and look forward to the near-term future with excitement and confidence.” *

The shares of the company are trading for less than 2cents. Yep ... cents. Did you ever see the Wolf of Wall Street? It is this kind of useless shiite stock they are selling. They keep having to manufacture fake news and hype to sell their stock.

There ain't no oil. There ain't no drilling. There ain't gonna be no drilling. And they will be saying the same thing a year from now, until y'all wise up. They are just selling stock to make money for themselves. Check out their salaries and stock that they sell.

Of course, I'm preaching to those who don't want to hear, so carry on smartly.

FYI, ever single major bank (Scotiabank, RBC, FirstCaribbean) is being shopped around. Canadian banks want to ditch their entire Caribbean operations.

Any industrial agreements, legally do not have to be honoured when ownership changes. If the sale goes through, the new owners will NOT honour the union agreements.

$85 million in net income is peanuts compared to CIBC global results:

CIBC’s results for the fourth quarter of 2018 were affected by the following items of note aggregating to a negative impact of $0.20 per share:

• $89 million ($65 million after-tax and minority interest, or $0.15 per share) of incremental losses on debt securities and loans in FirstCaribbean International Bank Limited (CIBC FirstCaribbean) resulting from the Barbados government debt restructuring;

• $26 million ($19 million after-tax, or $0.04 per share) amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets; and

• $8 million ($7 million after-tax, or $0.01 per share) in transaction and integration-related costs net of purchase accounting adjustments associated with the acquisitions of The PrivateBank and Geneva Advisors.

For the year ended October 31, 2018, CIBC reported net income of *$5.3 billion* and adjusted net income(1) of $5.5 billion, compared with reported net
income of $4.7 billion and adjusted net income(1) of $4.7 billion for 2017.

There will be further losses in CIBC First Caribbean in the wealth management branch in Cayman as well due to new legislation coming out of George Town.

The glory days are gone.

Buh Bye! Hope that you got your car out of your pool.Looking forward to your next "venture".

Nope.

Well hurrah for digitisation. Same old shiite, different day.

Yep. Technology that should streamline and eliminate bureaucracy doesn't work that way in the Bahamas.

Cayman Enterprise City approves in 48 hours, with work permit for employees and spouses, an office, free import duty exemption for a year and a bank account.

Yep. Another entry for my "Do Not Recommend" list when asked to give references in the Bahamas.

Holy Mackerel. I just looked at the author. Youri Kemp is now writing for the Tribune????

You have to stop the Bahamians who are profiting by illegal immigration. That should nip the bud at the root.
