If you create a product with no demand no one will use it.
It would be like giving out bicycles to people with cars and then being surprised they are still driving to work. Meanwhile the people who are walking who probably need the bikes have no bike lanes to use and no places to park their bikes. Then this person would wonder why the free bike program failed.
The mass population have either cash or cards and card use is growing at a rapid rate. They have no need for sand dollar.
Why force this product that has little value on to people. The market is telling you the product is useless for the large amount of the population. At a certain point in time they need to stop pumping money in this vanity project.
no this is a matter before the Federal courts. Its on the DOJ website, its titled "United States of America vs.". The Southern District of NY is a Federal District Court (Damian Williams former US Attorney was appointed by Joe Biden, the incoming Attorney nominated by the incoming president is Jay Clayton who was the former SEC head under Trump). They also quote the federal statutes they are being charged with breaking.
The easy guess is that the person wasnt named in the indictment. So they wont give the name out so easily
The hard question is why they werent named in the indictment. That should give clues as to why they arent going to give the name out. We dont know why. Could it be they are still under investigation? Could it be that they simply want to wait for trial? It could also be where the DOJ has a habit of not naming non-indicted individuals where a statement was made they investigted it but didnt have enough to go after said individual.
The Ministry of Transport and Dept of Road Traffic has been asleep at the wheel and probably the worst performing Ministry and govt department in all of the Bahamas.
Just driving in Nassau for 5 minutes tells you why.
how so? They reported each side from what i can see. CCA has done a filing so they posted that. When BML files thier counter I'd expect the same. there has been countless articles from either D'Aguilar and the results from the case where BML won.

If you ever watch a Senate or House hearing you would see persons appointed by the president have "The Honorable" on their placard. The Americans still have some British in their customs.
