(EDITOR’S NOTE: Following is a press release from Attorney Keod Smith, former Member of the House of Assembly, in response to allegations that he allegedly “cut a deal with the FBI to snitch on PLP politicians for money laundering,” as reported on Monday, August 19, 2019, in THE PUNCH, the popular twice-weekly Bahamian tabloid.)
By KEOD SMITH
NASSAU, Bahamas, August 19, 2019 — It has brought to my attention that a document is circulating on social media purporting to be a letter addressed to me, dated 6 March 2017 and giving the appearance that it had been written by the USA Department of Justice (DOJ).
I hereby categorically state that at no time in March 2017, or at any other time, was there ever a letter written and delivered to me by the DOJ.
It is a FAKE LETTER made up by criminally minded persons.
As it is that the fake letter addresses the finance subject matter of money laundering and without any basis, names one of my Clients, fashion mogul, Peter Nygard, whose business is not in the world of finance, I am reminded that in the November 26, 2014 issue of the Wall Street Journal, Money & Investing Section, the company of hedge fund billionaire Louis Moore Bacon (“Bacon”), Moore Capital Management was reported as “…attempting to boost currencies-trading profits…” as a result of what International Bank, HSBC, regarded as “…improper conduct”.
It was then that the DOJ commenced a currency criminal probe targeting Bacon who was made to pay nearly $100 Million in criminal fines a few years earlier by the various financial trading bodies.
