He controls one of the world&#8217;s largest and most profitable hedge funds and is a billionaire many times over.<\/p>\n<p>Point House, however, was repeatedly highlighted in the press in 2010.<\/p>\n<p>More times, perhaps, than the privacy-loving financier would have liked.<\/p>\n<p>Bacon has also been engaged in a long-standing feud with his neighbour, Canadian fashion mogul Peter Nygard, who is suing him over a property dispute and has complained to police about alleged harassment by Bacon&#8217;s staff.<\/p>\n<p>Those complaints led to Point House being raided by police last year. Four stadium sized speakers were seized in that raid but were eventually returned.<\/p>\n<p>Earlier in 2010, The Nassau Guardian revealed that the body of Bacon&#8217;s caretaker, Dan Tuckfield Sr. was found in a jacuzzi at Point House.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>After almost a year of unwanted attention, billionaire Louis Bacon has put his luxury Lyford Cay estate up for sale.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":25,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"rop_custom_images_group":[],"rop_custom_messages_group":[],"rop_publish_now":"initial","rop_publish_now_accounts":{"facebook_10223285771444175_51037792744":""},"rop_publish_now_history":[],"rop_publish_now_status":"pending","footnotes":""},"categories":[18],"tags":[46,28],"class_list":["post-5571","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-lifestyle","tag-celebrities","tag-real-estate"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bahamasb2b.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5571","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bahamasb2b.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bahamasb2b.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.bahamasb2b.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/25"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.bahamasb2b.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=5571"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.bahamasb2b.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5571\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bahamasb2b.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=5571"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.bahamasb2b.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=5571"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.bahamasb2b.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=5571"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
