Nassau, Bahamas - The following is a statement provided from Graham Thompson:
The story in the Punch of February 20th, 2014 that Graham Thompson receives one million dollars a year in legal fees from the Bank of The Bahamas is completely untrue. Our firm makes nowhere near that from the Bank and never has. The claim is preposterous.
It is equally untrue to insinuate, as the Punch has on more than one occasion, that our firm's relationship with the Bank is due to the relationship between the bank's managing director, Paul McWeeney and one of our partners, Sean McWeeney QC.
In fact, Graham Thompson's relationship with the Bank of The Bahamas began in 1983 - well before Sean McWeeney even joined Graham Thompson and years before Paul McWeeney joined the Bank. Any suggestion, therefore, that the Bank of The Bahamas came to Graham Thompson because of the relationship between Paul McWeeney and Sean McWeeney is completely false.
Moreover, we are aware that our firm is just one of a number of law firms that the Bank uses. This is easily verifiable from a search of public records.
The firm calls upon the Punch to publish a retraction and apology to our firm.
