Thanks to Mr. Glinton. Mr. GLinton has been fortunate to have the resources to challenge and correct the bank's wrongs to him. There has likely hundreds, perhaps thousands of '000 of bahamian citizens, customers who have been wronged by banks egregious, blatent, wrongs, which happens over years in the Bahamas and Banks hiding covering up wrongs.

There are little or no investigations to protect customers, .... or little customer complaints done or bothered to be done...because of... Banks have battery of endless lawyers to outspend customers little or no funds after ripped off, ....banks have resources to find some unheard excuse 9 to 5 staff working to cover up, ....have repeated back and forth frustrations, .....cant find documentations, ...have customers drive back and forth,..customers cant find parking, ....customers cannot even get through to phone to bank...frustration designed process...try calling..waiting...noone available,...endless waiting in line taking up whole lunch hour on line,...whole litany of excuses by banks....lawyers who find excuses to not challenge the banks fearing being blacklisted or cut off from Banks Approved Lawyers List...or .....and customers just lose...lose...in the Bahamas Banking Industry.......(and just across the border at the US Banking industry billion dollar fines, consumer protection laws, protections, investigations apply to banks doing egregious wrongs to customers)

There are no protections, little or no laws, little or no investigations of Bahamian banking to protect customers from blatent, egregious wrongs, negligence, lack of due care of customers etcetc. Mr. Glinton QC fortunate to have the resources to win his case. Former Governor General albe to get his money back, very well known businessman managed to get money back from money missing on account.

Repeared continuous battling....repeated continuous battling...one country after another...years of battling....while banking industry shrinkng many other reasons...200 billion dollars plus exited ....600 plus jobs no more....foreign banks closing right under noses...!!!!

Seems obvious trying to win battle for years...and losing the war...!!!

Banking industry needs to reorganize to grow in light of rapid changes in industry rebranding...instead of other nations and european organizations tying country up knowingly following them....trying to beat existing old horse.
