Description

John Ackah Blay-Miezah was no ordinary con man—he was a global illusionist who built an empire on charisma, deception, and the desperate hopes of thousands. From the slums of Ghana to luxury hotel suites in Zurich and Philadelphia, Blay-Miezah convinced the world that he controlled a $27 billion secret trust left by Ghana’s first president. What followed was one of the largest, most audacious scams in modern history. This gripping true crime story unravels how a man with no degree, no money, and no fear manipulated diplomats, celebrities, and common dreamers alike—leaving behind a myth that outlived him.
