In what he claimed to be an act of revenge, Bacon said the confiscating of speakers in 2011 by 11 Bahamian police officers was Nygard s handwork, which was denied by the mogul. There were also rumor mills churning that Nygard employed fake news sites and Youtube videos to smear Bacon s name and proclaim he ran an international drug-smuggling racket. And that wasn t all. According to Vanity Fair, Bacon was also called a member of the Ku Klux Klan and was also named as being involved in the murder of Dan Tuckfield, a Point House caretaker.

RE: To Paul Farquharson Jr. And FNMs
I said Prime Minister Dr Hubert Minnis Collected money leading into the 2017 General Elections from Mr. PETER NYGARD.
I ALSO STATE for the record that the funds were collected at the Compass Point restaurant where the Dr. Minnis received the funds in person.
I ALSO STATE FOR THE RECORD that in 1992 Mr Nygard was given residence status by the then-Ingraham Government and all approvals to build Nygard Cay were approved of and delivered by Mr Frank Watson, then Deputy PM.
I also want to lay on the record the point that many more sitting FNM MPs, including Mr Duane Sands and Senator Michael Foulkes, were receivers of funds from Mr Nygard and frequented Nygard Cay like thousands of Bahamians, just like you saw visits of PLP candidates.
