Nassau, Bahamas — A LYFORD Cay billionaire has filed defamation charges against an alleged contributor of a local blog.
Hedge fund manager Louis Bacon is seeking an injunction against Earlin Williams over four articles posted on BahamasPress.com, according to a Supreme Court writ dated July 11.

Chronologically, the first article, titled “Louis Bacon’s Conspiracy and Corruption at Lyford Cay”, was posted on May 4.
“The words complained of [in the article] meant and were understood to mean: that [Mr Bacon] is running a sophisticated international smuggling and drug trafficking ring with the co-operation and/or consent of the previous FNM government of The Bahamas,” the writ stated,” and [Mr Bacon] is attempting to drive another resident of The Bahamas, Peter Nygard, from his home in order to stop Mr Nygard disturbing such activities carried out by [Mr Bacon]; that [Mr Bacon] was involved in Dan Tuckfield being ‘killed’ and cremated to cover up evidence of such activities of the illegal smuggling operation.”
