SMH! WTH?
I said it before and I will say it again, get rid of the minions and bring in the big guns. How is it possible that a former US Consul is advantageous to this Board? How many women sit on this Board? How beneficial is a Barrister in a corporate banking environment, and so the beat goes on? Something stinks in the Bank of Clarien
He should be the first one on “Bermuda’s stop list”. Looney!
