A leading attorney yesterday expressed concern that the Bahamas was running "a real reputational risk" because very few fraudsters and wrongdoers responsible for financial collapses in this nation had been brought to justice, while the regulators rarely failed to detect such problems in their infancy.

Brian Moree QC, senior partner at McKinney, Bancroft & Hughes, told Tribune Business that the Bahamas and its financial services industry "had to be concerned" about the message being sent to clients/foreign investors when it came to holding financial criminals and wrongdoers to account for their actions.

And he argued that Bahamian ...

EDITOR, The Tribune.

Water and Sewerage are almost out of water and have us on restrictions.

BEC can hardly produce enough electricity for this island.

BTC mobile service is often down.

Garbage is infrequently collected in many areas.

Doesn't the Cable Beach Development need to share all of these resources?

At the Town Hall meeting years ago I did ask what would happen to the garbage and waste produced by thousands of additional people in the Cable Beach area. I was assured that all the garbage would be designer, but apart from that there was no real answer.

Frankly, I ask the sensibility of accepting the gift of a (partial) stadium. Can we afford to maintain it? Would we really ...
