The story by OP reads like a cheap novella, where a boring plot is obscured by totally unrelated subplots with references to Hitler, Beatles, and numerous quotes attributed to historical figures, outlined in different colors and fonts for special effect. To appeal to the reader's sense of adventure, the plot is set in the Bahamas, and there are occasional illustrations of what Bahamas look like, which is apparently a place which has a lot of seagulls and kids.
I looked up the real story, and it's quite banal. Here it is. The OP took a loan from a bank to run a "trading business". Subsequently, the OP defaulted on the interest payments, and the bank now wants the principal back. End of story.

Default on the property would be the result of alleged fraud when dealing with UBS combining the fact that they took out a mortgage and at the same opened trading account with same institution in an offshore location.
To solve this one needs to think like a criminal.
The cause of a default has some connection to trading account and OP family had to have money to trade to begin with.
No offense to OP ,but to some degree i get an impression that they would be the kind of people that someone would attempt to take advantage of.
Did trades execute on the exchange?
Why there was a delay in reporting back those trades and extra charges?
Why the money was withheld?
If allegedly UBS bank employee in the Bahamas had intention to defraud this family would be ideal candidate.Large family with kids, trading that means someone needs to watch those trades and this insures that to pay off that mortgage there was one remaining adults who worked regular job.OK that pays the bills and if the trading fails they will default ,it's obvious.
An article not exactly favorable about the law firm representing the bank

I said think like a criminal so i will end with same theme
If allegedly trades were not executed properly and caused the loss or not executed at all,because let's face it majority of traders lose, they get to keep the money and the house
You basically prey on the weak ,not on the strong
I give OP to some degree benefit of the doubt,because some guy showed up and had very keen interest to write negative posts on this matter, what a coincidence!
@CSEtrader
If you genuinely were treated unfairly in your trading and at the same time held a mortgage you need to get the ball rolling about the trades,since you claim trading made money.
And from a link below it appears that UBS in Bahamas has their regional HQ in New York which might be of help for you.
