Nothing about this is good. Any new investors or operators who are looking to take over now are going to be looking for a very steep discount. This means no one, not even the politicians waiting for kickbacks will see a thing. Every cent of money paid for the project will go directly to the Chinese Bank and they will not even get all of their money back. Christie thinks he's somehow involved in this, he's not. China doesn't give a crap what he thinks or wants and they don't have any reason to take any notice of him. He'll go crawling back in a couple months when we need to sell some government debt.
Everyone who is owed money, from the contractors to BEC to even CCA, will see nothing except maybe what they get from the work it will take to finish the project. Things are not good. This government screwed everyone involved when they took a stand against Chapter 11. Everyone may have had to accept less in Delaware, but now they have to accept nothing in the Bahamas.
Police outriders for Lady Poodling are a new thing. I saw the previous governor general driving around all the time with just one car and no police in sight.
Maybe the speeding vehicles are finally realizing that as this place continues to spiral into the ground that they are soon going to become the target of hate from the masses.
Hey look, here we have a reasonable person who saw that they could save some money and make their life easier instead of complaining. I wish there were far more comments like yours on this article.
Guess what, in Canada, if you don't have an account, they will tell you to take a hike. They will only perform transactions for account holders and they still charge fees to them. Do a little research and you'll find far less bank fees here than you do in Canada.
We need to stop the spending by this government. In the last two years, BEC has cost taxpayers an extra $58 million more than what their current bills say. That's over $150 for every man, woman and child in the Bahamas. And they hide it from the public for as long as they can.
Bahamians are still stuck paying for it either way. Just because the government says we moved the debt from our national debt to debt owed by a crown corporation, doesn't mean it has gone away. It still all totals to the same amount so it is no way at all a 'windfall'. These leaders are just flat our liars. They lie about everything and anything as if it's a competition.
Restructuring the debt is a good idea, you don't need to lie about it.
Thank god for all those abortions, otherwise we would have all of those aborted babies running around shooting each other up along with all the yahoo's we have now.
Is CCA really expecting people who have contracts with them to go along with this? Who are they trying to get money from. Baha Mar is being wound up. The Chinese Bank has called in the loan and will be taking control of the asset. There is nothing left to get payment for work from. CCA already got paid for all of their work so they don't care, they are just trying to get everyone to attack the ghost of Baha Mar instead of the people who still have the money, CCA.
