First the Christians, and now the Muslims. We are so backwards. We will never advance until we ban all religions. Adult bible fairy tales do not belong in an enlightened society.

Thanks for that. I would have noted the demolition of the hotel because it would have undoubtedly made the papers. But in 1998, I was away at school.

yup

One is only left at the SEC's mercy if one deserves to be under an SEC microscope and has done something not in the SEC's liking. If you want to be in the game with the big boyz, you have to follow their rules.

I have a sentimental link to the hotel or at least the property that it sits on. Apparently there was a previous hotel on the property called the Atlantik or Atlantik Beach Hotel. My parents spent their honeymoon there and I apparently I was made there. This was before it belonged to Hutchison, otherwise perhaps I would have a pseudo-legitimate claim to a Chinese passport.

This is funny. And this is the reason that most people do not want to do business in the Bahamas. A good example of Bahamian entrepreneurship. This guy's sin was not guarding the interest of his employer.

What you fail to understand, is that because the Chinese have deep pockets, they can afford to let it sit and languish. It is no skin off their back. It might even improve their bottom line with write-offs back home. Objectively, the Minnis adminstration knows this. Hutchison had no appetite to actively pursue the re-opening, so Minnis had to try something. Was it the best option? Who knows. Those special vehicles are off the books (as were the special vehicles that killed Enron) and it sounds kind of dodgy to me. You have to understand that Minnis is a linear thinker. He, like most Bahamian leaders cannot think or act outside the box. That sort of behaviour is driven out of us. But at least he is better than Perry Christie who was a no-thinker and ran a band of thieves, criminals, lowlifes and degenerates in the PLP.

There is lots of money floating around Nassau. Why didn't they create a public company, float the shares on BISX and let Bahamians in on the investment action? That is just one idea. They could have approached private equity partners, but they are a bunch of idiot know-nothings and don't know how. They should have hired an American or Canadian company to navigate their way out of this, but they are too proud and stupid to do so.

Jokes.

Senator Kwasi et al don't know how to create a tech hub. In the past two years, since the government announced plans to create a tech hub, over 200 tech companies started in Cayman Tech and Cayman Enterprise city bringing over $5 billion into the tech economy of the Cayman Islands. And in Grand Bahama, they have twiddled their thumbs and have done sweet nothing to get anything going. And yet they had viable ideas presenting in 2017 starting with the creating of a Bahamian tech cohort and never followed them. SMT.

Stop the photoshop filters. Especially the "Sharpen" filters. These pics look like cartoons. The Seymour photo looks like its been through the "Cartoonify" filter. Tribune needs a new photoshop person.
