John, it seems to be that the government has no interest in answering all of the actual important questions you point out. They seem to be much more interested in acting like jilted teenage lovers who are nursing their bruised egos. They don't even seem to be acting in the interest of their Chinese benefactors anymore.

Franklyn, that's not racist. The PLP's colour is yellow and they wear yellow shirts. You're being obtuse again.

Well Tal, the documents submitted to the court in Delaware actually show a $850+ million investment into Baha Mar by the Izmirlians. Don't be throwing out red herrings trying to cloud the actual facts. Lets stay on topic.

The problem is that the government and our 'leaders' clearly have no idea who large corporations are structured or how they shield themselves or even how Chapter 11 bankruptcy works. They are so out of their league in what they are attempting to do that it can only end in disaster for the Bahamas.

Tal, you used to actually add an interesting perspective to these discussions, but more and more you are just wasting space on the page.

Regardless of what you think of Izmirlian, the way the government is acting is only hurting the Bahamas and Bahamians.

I wonder what's going to happen to these PLP 'leaders' if they manage to swindle almost a billion dollars from some Armenians. That's not the kind of money you walk away from.

Tal, the only way I can tell your and Birdie's comments apart now are due to you using comrade to start you posts.

Franklyn, $3.5B is not a hard number that everything must add up to. Don't be obtuse.

It's not about teams Tal, why do you have to always be looking back - "Oh well he said, oh well she said, oh but he did this or that"

Just because someone did something stupid yesterday does not excuse you doing something stupid today.

And honestly, I want you to know I'm do hope you continue with your enthusiasm towards making this a better place, and instill it in all of your friends. We need far more young people involved in the future of this country.
