If Mr. Aryeh is a parliamentarian, then God help Ghana.I believe Mr. Aryeh is a thief himself. Where in this world will it take approximately $200,000 to transfer $25 million.

I thought Ghanaians are saints, little did I know that even their so-called 'law makers' are 'law breakers' and CRIMINALS. I do hope the name Eric Amoateng rings bells! Ghanaians are hypocrites who always pretends to be saints. Their 'holier than thou' mentalities stinks to the high heaven.

I was shocked to read that Mr Aryeh is a Member of Parliament. I think he is one of the dishonourable being referred to by the former GIMPA Rector. How can a member of parliament be this stupid? When one transfers money through the bank, the commission is taken from the amount being transferred or charged to that account. Again, how could this fraudster have $25 million but could not pay $200,000?

Mr Aryeh is also a criminal and fraudster and not fit to be a member of parliament. He should be ashamed that his greed and stupidity allowed him to be defrauded. I have no sympathy for him and it will serve him right if he never recovers his money.

The parliamentarian Aryeh in question must be arrested and prosecuted. Was this money a loan?. What was the interest on it?. Where did Aryeh got the money from?.The crime that Marfo has committed here is issuing a dud cheque. His lawyer was a bad one for him to get 10 years.
Who was the judge and how much money did Mr. Aryeh gave him?. They are all thieves.

Why can't that Wayomey Guy face the full wrath of the law? Ghanaian law is effective only in some cases. There is no Justice in the country that is why any radical is able to take us for a ride.

If this guy gets 15years for what he is alleged to have done, then Woyome should be looking at something like life sentence. It is ridiculous what the Ghanaian justice system can do

In the first place, where did the Politician himself come by that kind money? Ghanaians are really corrupt . Let's teach the children, to disrespect illegal wealth,by adding lessons of that nature in the school curriculum.Educate Ghanaians to be able to ask questions before they give their respect to corrupt people.People in Ghana just respect any type of money.This is wrong and should not be so.

Had the complainant not been an MP would this case have travel the way it has.
Is the MP a bank, where did he get that kind of money to loan out. And where in the world does facilitating and transer cost that much. The MP need to be investigated. and also dealt with he was aiding an illegal transer and because the deal did not succeed he want his money back and unfortunately our currupt judiciary only look at the case one sidedly because he is an MP oh poor Ghana. He could have use the money to build 10 toilet and it would have by now gain interest. The MP need to be investigated.

The member of parliament should equally be prosecuted for entrusting unlicensed individual to contact business for him. He is condoning and conniving with him to invade taxes. I believe he is not above the law.

How did the MP get $25 million? Why didn't he use a legal bank to transfer the money if it was legally gotten? The police need to investigate that. This is a case of thief Stealing from thief.

Like you, I suspect that Aryeh is less than honourable, but there is nothing wrong with believing that indeed the other guy actually had access to the $25 million. He is stupid to have gone along with it.

Aryeh, should consider himself lucky that the police acted on this complaint at all. This is because one cannot ask the police to help him recover booty from an illegal act. They did act on it only because it is illegal to pass a bad cheque in Ghana.

Aryeh may never be investigated for any crime, but may never get his money back. That serves him right.

The complainant should be jailed as well for money laundering attempt. If this is a legitimate transfer, it would not take GHC600,000 to transfer the money. THIS COUNTRY CALLED GHANA IS A JOKE!

Marfo duped me 28 years ago and alleged he was attacked by armed robbers who then used his American Express Card but because everyone saw him as a rich man he got away with this crime. He also attempted to dupe me again with this same trick he did on the MP but was alert this time but only learnt just after 6 weeks when attempted on me the poor MP fell for this crime. May he rest in hell.

It appears all the contributors on this subject matter here are ignorant of this 'Fraud scheme'. This deceit of collecting money from people in order to process a huge sum of money from another country has been going on for years. The deceiver(fraudster) would promise you a large percentage of the money to be had. Easy money, which is always too good to be true. Nobody has ever made a penny from his fraud scheme. This MP is lucky, he caught with this fraudster.

"He said the convict took the said amount under the pretext of using it to facilitate the documentation and transfer of an amount of $25 million from New York to Ghana". GNA

A Member of parliament in Ghana and he could not see that this whole thing was a 419 scam. Not surprising, thiough, for some in Parliament are themselves engaged in scams. The greedy Parliamentarian got taken by a crook who happens to be more crooked tha the Parliamentarian. No wonder these folks in Parliament have no time to enact laws that will push the country forward, for they're busily engaged in scams.

This is unfair. The parliamentarian is also involved in an illegal transaction and must be punished too.
