COULD LOUIS BACON BE CAUSE OF INQUIRY ON INGRAHAM, EARL & TOMMY

With the great defeat of the Hubert Ingraham’s Free National Movement party (FNM) at the polls in the May 7^th, general elections The Progressive Liberal Party (PLP) won 29 of the 38 seats, Louis Bacon the alleged financier of the FNM is now on the run and leaving former Prime Minister Hubert Ingraham and former Cabinet Ministers Earl Deveaux, Tommy Turnquest, Dion Foulkes and John Delaney to fend for themselves.

This comes after the FNM government had established a strong relationship with Louis Bacon the Hedge Fund King some fifteen years ago, who in turn reportedly bank rolled the FNM over the years with hundreds of millions of dollars and also reportedly spent millions in individual campaign contributions to FNM candidates.

It is alleged that some of those persons were FNM leader Hubert Ingraham, Earl Deveaux, Tommy Turnquest and John Delaney.

         

With such a political force on his side Louis Bacon was able to get away with anything in the Bahamas. Over the years Bacon was able to get away with all matters that were raised against him of any of his henchmen. On a number of criminal matters that took place at Bacons Point House in Lyford Cay such as the suspicious death of his property manager Dan Tuckfield, the police confiscation of a pair of military-type acoustic sound blasters, then National Security Minister Tommy Turnquest ordered the police to back off on the investigation of Tuckfield’s death and the return of the deadly Ultra Sonic speakers. There was the Immigration matter when officers last year swoop Louis Bacon's Point House home in Lyford Cay and found and took two suspicious German nationals and one American into custody. Before the convoy reached the Detention Centre, a telephone call ordered that the three be released.

It appears evident that with the help and full support of Ingraham, Deveaux, Turnquest, Foulkes and Pericles Maillis, a long time Bacon associate and lawyer, Louis Bacon had the unfettered license to do pretty much as he pleased in the Bahamas. It was reported that these former FNM Cabinet Ministers were so drunk with power and mesmerized with the Bacons wealth they forget to keep their oath to protect the Bahamas and its people from such persons as Bacon which was a major factor in them and the FNM party being dealt a crippling blow of defeat to the PLP at the polls in the May 7^thgeneral elections.

One would have to think that with all of this wheeling and dealing going on between the FNM Government and Louis Bacon something had to give and according to one political observer their diabolical plot over the course of years had to backfire. As reported that such a disabling blow to the badly fallen and powerless FNM Party now leaves Mr. Bacon fully exposed and he would know that in the hedge fund business, such exposure always leads to disaster.

It has been reported that Bacon who has been hiding away in his private posh resort at Kamalame Cay on the island of Andros during the campaign that just before he got wind that the FNM were about to lose the general election.  Then quickly in the dead of night he fled to the island because it is believed that he is a fugitive wanted in the Bahamas for some alleged criminal acts he took against fashion mogul Peter Nygard.

Louis Bacon who has been described as cold, calculating, sinister and will use his wealth and power to crush anything or anyone that gets in his way very much the same way he attempted to drive his Lyford Cay neighbor, Peter Nygard , The Canadian fashion mogul from his home in the Bahamas. In this case like they say; “The Rabbit (Nygard) gat the gun”.

According to the Caribbean Interpol spokesperson, as of late law enforcement intelligence have been zooming in on Bacons two hide outs in the Bahamas namely Lyford Cay in Nassau the capital of New Providence and Kamalamie Cay on the island of Andros. As reported by a Trinidadian Officer says “The easily verifiable conclusion that smuggling is going on as an enterprise is what you get when you discover the characters hired to captain the vessel. A captain known to always be moving between Haiti, the Turks and Caicos Islands, the Bahamas and South Florida is moving contraband. He said that they have conversations recorded on cameras with court room admissible audio quality where instructions are heard being given and code names of the contraband that is being moved is revealed”.

We know that that the Deputy Leader of the Progressive Liberal Party (PLP) has called for a commission of inquiry into several matters while on the campaign trail. With the PLP now in office, the radar could turn on the smugglers as well.
