This stupid so called american is an idiot! Did he use the right protocol to secure the gold bars? He is a fraud. If he had used the right protocol he wouldn't have been in such mess. He shouldd fuck off. Ghana has nothing to loose. There are fraudsters in america too.

The whole system in Ghana needs to be change. A police arrest you for a traffic offence, instead of giving you a penalty to pay instantly, he will say he is taking you to court, as you don't have time to waste you are forced to give him bribe. The authorities don't like making things efficient for the economy to grow. No wonder the country is [poor in the midst of plenty.

All the western countries re even corrupt but they do a better job st covering it. There is a program on televison in US valled American Greed. People should get that show and watch. It shows how corrupt Americans are. They make all kinds of wrong deal and steal millions of dollars from people. Few years ago in the US news, many politicians in the New York/New Jersey area were arrested for taking bribes to give people contract. It is human nature to cheat and be rich. Of course Ghana needs to purge herself from corruption and 419 activities but for this guy to say no one should do business eith ghana because it is corrupt is wrong. Every country is corrupt and if he was not corrupt, why did he not do business with a company itself instead of individuals? I bet he was getting a good deal which was too good to be true but because he was greedy, he went for it. He has to learn his lesson. Next time you are making such a deal, you find a very good and repubtable company, do your research, come down to Ghana, buy your products, pay yourself, and take your products. Many Americans and other foreigners do business within ghana but do all of them complain? The answer is no so just do your research before you do business period!

The illegal galamseyers have absconded with his money and it all happened under the last John with galamsey booming like anything.
Thank God for Akufo Addo and the NPP's very strong clamp down on that illegal business which saw the military, police, politicians destroying our environment and water bodies by streamlining the proper and correct exploitation of our natural resources in an effective, transparent and accountable manner for the mutual benefit of Ghana and investors.
Had this investor waited just about 2 more months, his investment would have been the secured, instead of being swindled under the corrupt regime of the last John.
Will 13 boxes of gold bars cost $1.3 million dollars? Hopefully, the present administration gets to the bottom of this matter and rid this country of the corrupt regime of the last John.

If you do fraudulent business you will be duped. Gold should be bought through official channels. A company buys gold and takes it away bribing their way through and Ghana is the looser, but when they are outsmarted, then they cry foul. It's a game and the smartest wins. Corruption involves the seller and the buyer, it's international, when the right rules of business are not followed. International businesses are going on everyday in Ghana, and when you try to get more money than the norm,be prepared to also lose. They can go with their business, we will survive.Long live Ghana.

A respondent here has put this development at the door-step of the Mahama administration's penchant for corruption, to paraphrase him.
What other poorer analogy can that be ! That in the era he references rather, investor confidence was at its highest !
The continuity of governance is a fact under a democracy therefore, what should be the hindrance of this administration from boosting investor comfidence if even we admit his opinion?
This police attitude of temparing with evidence according to our friend, started in the Mahama regime ? This is a clear case of pathological dishonesty as followers of his political persuasion are wont to display !
In fact, the waning of investor confidence due to other equally important faux-pas of the sic-month old administration. The aforementioned in my view, constitutes only a microcosm of factors that will eventually bring the government to knees especially as her surrogates indulge in the misleading accusations !!!
