His only option is survival. I wouldn't want to be writing private banking software in this climate of the whole world being against private banks and wealth management.
You have obvious not heard of eResidency -- in Estonia. I know old guy lawyers from the Caribbean who have signed up for it. https://e-resident.gov.ee/
I watched the Grand Bahama Tech Summit online on Youtube. It has been almost a month and nothing is being done. No announcements. No plans. There were plenty of ideas given out, and as usual, it will fizzle into nothing. No communications from the government -- moving slower than a conch on the sea floor. I know that I am p*ssing in the wind with these comments, but as a Bahamian, it is incredibly frustrating.
When you compare this bill to Cayman Enterprise City, this bill is still an inferior product. Cayman has attracted over 225 companies, 5 business sector parks and they are adding aviation -- so much for a Bahamas Aviation Registry. Can you imagine the employment if we had 225 more companies in Freeport.
Unfortunately, the Port Authority is in the way, and Grand Bahama will never develop -- especially with a sluggard government that couldn't move fast even if its pants were on fire.
Bahamians don't need evidence. Tribalism trumps evidence in every way, and backward beats forward. Evil also beats good, ignorance beats knowledge, superstition beats enlightenment, lies are valued over truth and greed beats altruism.
Cayman is eating our lunch in every way. I am amazing at the high level Fintech initiatives going on there. They have the jumpstart on us in every single way, including Blockchain in the Financial Services industry. There will be nothing left here.
This is bullshit. If someone starts a business here -- a tech business -- he must train a Bahamian to take over? What if the business requires a tertiary education for which there is no qualified Bahamian? This is insuring that the bill will be a flop. This is no way to create a knowledge industry. The business must be unfettered and allowed to grow. Some businesses take a few years to get traction. Once again, a typically bungled endeavour.

Or .... how about incoming companies giving young Bahamians jobs where they would not have one.
