The Ghanaian Man Who Conned the World — and Almost Got Away With It (Part 2)

This Really Happened In Africa by Kiata Studios

Episode notes

Out of prison and out of options, Blay-Miezah invents the Oman Ghana Trust Fund, a fake multi billion dollar fortune tied to Kwame Nkrumah. Investors hand over their savings, presidents take him seriously, and somehow he keeps walking free.

We cover the forged documents, the bounced checks, his run for president, his years hiding in London, and the 60 Minutes investigation that finally exposed him.

Listen to Part 1 first if you haven't already. This is how a man with nothing convinced the world he had everything.
