@ohdrap4....thanks......if on the aspect of fraidsters being detected an caught .then that adds to the 50% percentage ....and should state so which would raise greater alarm......(I am being ????....when I refer to not one culprit or defrauder being brought to trial - I am aware of the well known persons like the former politician with a trailer load of chicken...the fruit drink ones...the smuggled cars in trailers...that have been caught.?..but it is uaually the well heeled culprits.... more who just dont make it to the press.....cant remember any recent ones..lol).......but still losing 50%........"The government has admitted to losing around 50% of due Customs revenues from inefficiencies in a system it is working feverously to reform by eliminating manual procedures"...
Ohdrap4....these losses go way back ....last business was Robinhood who had their computers seized an returned in pieces but nothing I believe was ever found ....some 2-3 ??? govts ago

Even before da UBP...there was da Burmma Road Riots in June1, 1942, whichin was over lesser pay allegedly orkestrated by Bay St merchants to pay black workers in da Colony by Pleasantville buildong da new airport whichin caused dese black workers to come from ova da hill to protest an whichin da Duke s protection brogade came out an in da event 2 people shot dead, 40 injured an round 100 jailed....
To many this was actually the beginning fer the struggle fer civil rights and parallels or precedes marches in der US fer civil rights....to many the action fer da march was Civil Rights.Action..whichinin gets overshadowed and minimalized by the press and peoples keeps callin it Riot.....
now Pops being in da bootlegging business not an illegal activity in da British colony whichin happened during US Probition in da 20' earlr 30's .....it is alleged dat the liquor was stored in the grocery store allegedly called 'tthe Big Door' at da corner of Biscayne an Flagler owned by one Englers allegedly managed by one Bahamian fella name wid T an in der dealings a tract of land was acquired by Pops a from Englers and called Englerstown....an at one time Pops alleged owned some 700 lots of land selling and financing dem to black Bahamians all over Nassau an da homes was beung built allegedly by Pops right hand man an contractor one fella alleged by da name beginning with D who by da way was unquestionably one very black man...Homes were also financed by allegedly City Lumber to many black persons in da Colony who couldnt go to da banks...till da 50s or 60s. There were also a number of white famolies who gave loans to black people in da colony.
Bottom line ...Very simple to go check title document as to who buy what from who .......an whichinin not my gapseed allegations

In running a business enterprise whether you deal wid 8 million or 8 billion dollars you expect to deal with losses ....and is you keep having numbers of 50% not being able to stop you are out of business in no time flat.
The fact large amounts of Customs duties have been reported by successive governments ....and not one single culprit or customs defrauder have ever been captured or put to trial is well.....????
If any govt agency can make such assertion without any evidence ....must share whatever dey smoking cause its damn good...!!!!
