Another day, another refugee, another consignment box...
Lad emails are date-stamped; my comments are in bold.
14 July Hello,
I am very sorry to contact you through this medium which I know very well you do not know me but i take the risk to decide to contact you in a good manner. My name is David Kojo from Liberia my father was into gold marchannt with the former president of Liberia before it was Jail for war crime in Ghana before he passes on since 2015 february since then I and my family we are leaving in London but my mother also die through corona virus January 2021 so I decide to come to Ghana to contact the company for the claim of the Funds and Gold
Before the death of my mother she used our family friend in USA to move the funds out of Ghana for investment in United States but unfortunately our legal beneficiary in USA his in serious kidney problem which have few days to leave according to the doctor so when I got the information I decided to contacted you to seek for your foreign assistance since the consignment box he still under Pan African diplomatic vault annex in USA so I contacted the company in Ghana which they need my present in Ghana that is why I am in Ghana now
So let me know if you are capable of handling this transaction so that I can give you more details.
best regards
David
A lot to unpack there. Let's get the ball rolling.
Mr Kojo
I don't know you, that's true, so how come you wrote to me?
Regards
Malcolm Reynolds
The Lad's eager, that's for damn sure. But there's a problem, as you'll see...
15 July sir
i understand very well you do not know me but i have no choice to put my trust and confident in you to stand as our new legal beneficiary to receive our funds in united states of america for investment for our future please send me your direct telephone number for easy communication david kojo
Mr Okpo
I'm not in the US. I'm in Australia. I also don't do investment; never have. You might want to rethink this matter.
Regards
Malcolm Reynolds
But the Lad doesn't want to rethink the matter.
16 July hello sir
thanks so much for your reply since you are not in usa the company can as well make the delivery to australian we are just going to follow the legal process which i will contact the company this morning to know the cost of the legal process
david
Not so fast, Bubba-Louie!
I open with two near-quotations from Right Said Fred and Kindergarten Cop.
Mr Kojo
You're being too hasty, and my experience is that you get nowhere in life if you're too hasty. I'm going to ask you a bunch of questions, and I want them answered immediately.
1. How much money is supposed to be moved?
2. You were talking about funds, and then you mentioned cash, gold, and a consignment box. How much of these funds is in cash and gold?
3. Why exactly do you need my assistance?
4. You mentioned a "legal process." Details, please.
Regards
Malcolm Reynolds

I got answers. But they invited more questions! Ain't that always the case?
18 July hello sir
sorry for my late reply.
(1) the total cash inside the consignment box his $3.5 million dollar
(2) please sorry if you misunderstanding my language
(3) i need your foreign assistance to stand as our legal beneficiary to move this funds to your location for investment that is my plan
(4) the legal process his get all documents change to your name which we a lawyer to represent you to sign on your behalf.
the gold i mention he still deposited in gold company here in ghana which we also need some procedure to get it release for sale
thanks
david
Lads are so wedded to using "beneficiary"!
Mr Kojo
So it's millions in cash in a consignment box, plus gold somewhere else, nothing in a bank. I understand that, I think.
But the next two answers have thrown me a bit. "i need your foreign assistance to stand as our legal beneficiary to move this funds to your location" and "the legal process his get all documents change to your name" - I don't understand. Why would I need to be your legal beneficiary? What's the deal with changing these documents, whatever they are, to my name?
Regards
Malcolm Reynolds
Now Mal is interpreting "beneficiary to mean "next of kin," which is puzzling him, as is the changing of documents to his name. There'll be scope for confusion...

Post by Yastreb on Jul 20, 2021 6:26:17 GMT
The Lad fails to answer the questions, and opens up a Second Front with the gold. The last sentence is puzzling, as Mal will explain.
20 July hello mr malcom
yes the funds his inside a consignment box being move out of african to usa, these funds his from the sales of gold between our former beneficiary and my late mother who die from corona virus and this moment our former beneficiary who suppose to receive this money in USA his suffering for kidney disease and corona virus so he cannot make it and our plan his to invest this funds into a real estate because we plan to move and stay in usa permanently.
so the gold we have in left in a security company require some documentation before i can able to have access to sell it so I plan if we succeed to get this funds in usa through a foreign partner to our possession we can able to secure the gold as well because we are going to financial ok to get it done so if you can also get me a buyer to come down to ghana for the gold i will be very happy sir.
so the reason i contacted you i believe you mind have sure experience to receive a large sum of million cash through a diplomatic service, so please i need your advice what to do next
thanks
david
Mr Kojo
I still don't get that bit about the beneficiary. My only understanding of beneficiary is someone who gets left something in a will, and that wouldn't fit here. Also, the need to change some documents to my name is still unexplained. You have to clarify these.
Also, there's this; "i believe you mind have sure experience to receive a large sum of million cash through a diplomatic service." Why would you think that? I met diplomats at times when I was serving as a guard at embassies, but I don't know anything about diplomats as bagmen.
Final note; you said, "if you can also get me a buyer to come down to ghana for the gold i will be very happy." Not with the pandemic happening! The borders are closed, and my contacts elsewhere would likely have their hands full with just surviving. I can ask, but that's all I can do. No guarantees.
As it is, you have to get me clued in for anything to happen, and so far you haven't done much on that score.
Regards
Malcolm Reynolds

Well, Mal got an answer.
21 July
hello malcolm
thank you for your email and what i mean beneficiary? if you are capable to stand as our legal foreign partner to receive our consignment box so that we can have access to the funds inside the consignment box for investment. due to the muslim holiday the lawyer is busy with his family so first thing tomorrow morning i will meet the lawyer to prepare the MOU agreement for us to sign before i send you every documents regarding to the consignment box in usa
david
Unfortunately, one answer isn't enough, and Mal has more issues.
Mr Kojo
Getting answers from you is like pulling teeth, and every answer you give just leads to more questions!
You still haven't explained what the deal is with changing documents to my name, or why I'd be used to receiving cash through diplomatic service, and now you're talking about an MOU, which wasn't mentioned before.
And there's this; "what i mean beneficiary? if you are capable to stand as our legal foreign partner to receive our consignment box so that we can have access to the funds inside the consignment box for investment." First off, I wouldn't know how to prove that I'm capable of being your "legal foreign partner," and secondly, if I'm receiving the consignment box of cash, how does that help you to invest?
Regards
Malcolm Reynolds

Another day, another apology.
hello sir
sorry for my late reply i am for some days because of my little part time job i am doing here in ghana to survive the hard economy system in ghana . sir i dont understand why you said you dont understand what i am trying to explain
sir we have a consignment box in usa content a physical cash which suppose to be deliver our former foreign beneficiary in usa but unfortunately he cannot able to make it receive it that is why i contacted you to seek for your assistance to replace him
what I mean MOU is( Memorandum of understanding) to bind our partnership to invest the funds and i also ask you for your telephone number for easy communication via whatapp
david
Mal's impatience grows...
Mr Kojo
I understand you, but it's clear that you're not understanding me. You're answering questions that have been answered already, and missing others. I'll try again.
Why must these unnamed documents be changed to my name?
How do I prove that I'm capable of being your "legal foreign partner"?
How does my being sent the consignment box of cash help you to invest?
Why did you believe that i have experience in receiving cash through diplomatic services?
What happens once I receive this box?
Those questions should be easy to understand. I want the answers to be clear. And I don't use WhatsApp, nor do I intend to.
Malcolm Reynolds
The Lad is clearly suffering from some kind of syndrome that prevents him from addressing more than one question at a time.
23 July hello sir
the unnamed documents his with me here that has our former beneficiary name before i send it to you i really want to get everything clear to know if we are going to spend money or not because i dont want whereby we start the legal process to change to the documents to your name then i cannot get it done myself so what i am doing today to get everything clarify.
sir i trust you but i dont know if you are capable to handle this transaction that is the fact but i have confident in you that you are capable
david
Mal stays on topic (emphasis in original)
Mr Kojo
You touched on one issue, but still you didn't bother to actually answer it; why must those documents be changed?
You say you want everything to be clear, but you're doing nothing about that.
Why must these unnamed documents be changed to my name? Not properly answered.
How do I prove that I'm capable of being your "legal foreign partner"? Sidestepped.
How does my being sent the consignment box of cash help you to invest? Ignored.
Why did you believe that i have experience in receiving cash through diplomatic services? Ignored.
What happens once I receive this box? Ignored.
If you want my help, you will treat me seriously, and answer my questions, and clear up any doubts.
Regards
Malcolm Reynolds
And the Lad has taken his meds!
24 July hello sir
thank you for your time sacrifice to communicate with me sir.
1) the reason why the documents changed to your name is because the document is still in our former beneficiary name and the company cannot deliver the consignment box without your name legally signed on the documents as our new legal beneficiary.
2) sir i contacted you due to trust to stand as our legal beneficiary it is you that will tell me if you are capable or not
3) i feel due to your age and working experience you will have a profitable idea to invest the money once the consignment box successfully deliver to you as our legal beneficiary
4) sir the lady that give me your email address to contact you she is a friend to my late mother working with the government she told me she saw confiscation file with your name on it related to a consignment box being declared unclaimed and seize by the government of ghana that she believe you have experience receiving physical cash of money through diplomatic service
5) once you receive the consignment box then i will send the code to confirm the content of the consignment box then you make an arrangement of my visa to join you in your country for investment of the funds together that is why I mention we are going to sign MOU agreement between us to know our percentage.
sir I need your help and I can guarantee you that this transaction is real and the funds are a family inheritance fund from the sales of gold in african before it was moved through diplomatic service to the united states but unfortunately our plan never went through because of death and sickness.
thanks and GOD bless
david okpo
Mal spells out some issues with those answers (formatting in original)
Mr Kojo
Well, you gave me answers, at least. However, here are my answers in turn (the bits in red).
1) the reason why the documents changed to your name is because the document is still in our former beneficiary name and the company cannot deliver the consignment box without your name legally signed on the documents as our new legal beneficiary. OK, accepted.
2) sir i contacted you due to trust to stand as our legal beneficiary it is you that will tell me if you are capable or not How can I tell if I'm capable or not?
3) i feel due to your age and working experience you will have a profitable idea to invest the money once the consignment box successfully deliver to you as our legal beneficiary You are wrong. I'm a retired US Marine with 18 years of service. I know nothign about investment.
4) sir the lady that give me your email address to contact you she is a friend to my late mother working with the government she told me she saw confiscation file with your name on it related to a consignment box being declared unclaimed and seize by the government of ghana that she believe you have experience receiving physical cash of money through diplomatic service She's wrong. I've never received a consignment box, ever.
5) once you receive the consignment box then i will send the code to confirm the content of the consignment box then you make an arrangement of my visa to join you in your country for investment of the funds together that is why I mention we are going to sign MOU agreement between us to know our percentage. [1] I can't arrange for you to come to Australia; I'm a resident alien, because I'm a US citizen, and I don't have to right to sponsor anyone [2] Because of the pandemic, Australia's borders are closed until the end of 2021 at the earliest, and probably to at least mid-2022.

Some careless wording was taken the wrong way.
24 July hello mr malcolm
1) thank you for accepting to stand as our legal beneficiary to get the document to your name.
2) already know the nature of the transaction so it is your advice from you to tell me if it is safe to receive the consignment box in australian through you.
3) yes sir, I would be wrong to think you have more idea to invest in australian so when you receive the consignment box then we can get investors involved with just an idea or opinion. I am suggesting sir, to advise us what kind of investment we can invest with $3.5 million dollar.
4) she never told me you have received a consignment box, she only told me that she saw your name on a file being confiscated so she advised me to speak with you since I am searching for a foreign partner to stand with me to move the funds out of usa for investment. And you being an ex US marine you still have some experience to control a large amount of money if eventually we succeed to get it to your possession.
5)i believe if we have the consignment box in your possession and we have access to the funds inside the box we can arrange for my document to come to australian through help of our family lawyer in ghana representing us to safeguard this transaction successfully
thank you for your time
david
Mr Kojo
1. I accepted your explanation; no more than that!
2. Again, I can't honestly answer that question.
3. You assumed that I knew all about investment when I'd already told you that I don't, so stop gorram well asking me for investment advice!
4. As a Marine, I was trained in combat and survival; how to fight and kill my country's enemies. "And you being an ex US marine you still have some experience to control a large amount of money" - why would you say that?
5. You are wrong. No paper that your lawyer in Ghana can dummy up would get you past the Border Watch. Australia's borders are closed, and that's an end to it. Don't try to fool yourself, and more importantly, don't try to fool me.
Now I have a question. How old are you?
Malcolm Reynolds
25 July hello sir
thank you
3) if you do not have any idea of investment that is cool by me
4) As a marine can I used you to move this funds out of USA to Australian so that i can have access to the funds then I will consult a financial consultant that will advice what kind of investment to do
5) I am not here to fool you because all i am discussing with you his real
I am 31 years old
david kojo
More highlighting is required!
Mr Kojo
So you're 31, huh... somehow I get the impression of someone a lot younger. At that age, you should show a more mature understanding of how things work, but I'm not seeing that.
3) if you do not have any idea of investment that is cool by me
I should gorram well hope so!
4) As a marine can I used you to move this funds out of USA to Australian so that i can have access to the funds then I will consult a financial consultant that will advice what kind of investment to do
It doesn't take a Marine to receive a box
5) I am not here to fool you because all i am discussing with you his real
Oh please! You were trying to convince me that your pet lawyer could kludge together some bumf that would get you past Border Watch at a time when Australia's borders are closed, both coming and going. If you thought I'd believe that, you were definitely fooling yourself.

This Lad is not a fast responder.
28 July hello sir
so i don't behave like 31yrs old? Maybe because I have been feeling too much pressure since I came to Ghana regarding this transaction, I am very sorry for any inconveniences.
3) I do have idea of business like real estate
4) sir anyone can receive a consignment box as long the company he is genuinely ready to carry on the delivery
5) I understand australian block all borders in and out but what do you think we should do regarding this transaction since the consignment box is still in the USA?
I wait your advice
david
I was considering a caustic reply about the pressure, but changed my mind.
Mr Kojo
OK, things ain't been easy for you of late. I can understand that. But you need to focus.
3) I do have idea of business like real estate
Fine, but don't ask me to advise you on that. I don't have a gorram clue about real estate, as with most business matters.
4) sir anyone can receive a consignment box as long the company he is genuinely ready to carry on the delivery
Just as long as the box can be delivered. Leaving aside the border closure, the box would still have to get past customs, and that ain't a given.
5) I understand australian block all borders in and out but what do you think we should do regarding this transaction since the consignment box is still in the USA?
That's another thing I don't have a gorram clue about.

Methinks our Lad is getting impatient with progress to date...
29 July hello sir
i am very focus because that is the only way out since i am here alone, so now what it is your advise about this transaction are you ready for us to proceed to get the document in your name as my legal beneficiary because i so much need you to stand as my legal beneficiary to receive the consignment box in usa so that you and i can have access to the funds for investment of my choice.
and I also need your help to assist me to pay the legal charges that will cost us to get the documents change to your name
david
Mal has a few gripes in return.
Mr Kojo
You're alone? No family, no friends, no business partners? You have a lawyer; isn't he someone you know?
That aside, I can't advise you on what to do next; that lawyer is the SMLE. Maybe he can write to me and explain more.
Also, there's this; "I also need your help to assist me to pay the legal charges that will cost us to get the documents change to your name" - you didn't mention that before. I'm not a big fan of surprises. I don't want to find any more of those lurking around.

Ah, the lawyer at last. But he's ignored the point about the demand to pay expenses.
31 July
hello sir ok i will send your email to the lawyer barrister mensah robert to write to you to explain to you more about my transaction and the reason why i need you to stand as my legal beneficiary. I have a daughter but she is with her mother.
thank you for your time
david
A mild chiding seems logical for the omission; I'll also introduce Cammy to the bait, just in case.
Mr Kojo
Yeah, by means have your lawyer buddy drop me a line. But that deal with paying your expenses still rankles somewhat. It's the kind of thing that should be mentioned early on, not done as an "Oh, by the way..."
How old is your daughter? I have a daughter as well, though she's of an age to be your sister. She's living in Sydney, and not liking life in lockdown. Hey, that's life in COVID-19 times for you.

Post by Yastreb on Aug 1, 2021 21:38:47 GMT
I think that Lad is now regretting the way he casually mentioned the expenses.
31 July hello mr malcom
thank you for your reply i send your email to the lawyer but his out of town coming back on sunday evening so he said he will write to you by monday morning , my daughter she is 6 yrs old.
i am sorry not to mention about the legal expenses which I am seeking from you to handle to get this transaction position so that the funds can be release for delivery.
david
Mr Kojo
Fine, it's over to him I guess. But I'll tell you this; any expenses had better be spelled out in full and at the start. Like I said, I don't like surprises, or bad faith. Remember that. I hope he doesn't give any reason to doubt him.
Malcolm Reynolds
That comment about doubt was not taken well.
1 August hello sir
why would you doubt the lawyer ? sorry i did not mention any expenses earlier on during our communication regarding the legal process whatsoever to get the documents to your name to submit to the company as our legal beneficiary to receive our consignment box in australia but to avoid any delay or custom definitely we have to follow to the legal process
david kojo
Some home-spun wisdom would not go amiss...
Mr Kojo
I don't like lawyers, period. It's an American thing, which may seem odd, but it's true. That said, I'll give this guy a chance to make his case and prove his worth.
You say "definitely we have to follow to the legal process" after you apologized for leaving out the bit about expenses. I'll quote my gunnery sergeant here. "Never assume." Gunny Marcinko said that line a lot, and I took it to heart. It's part of what's been keeping me alive. Now you thought that when it comes to legal costs, I'd not only be willing to pay, but able to pay. In other words, you assumed. Don't do that.

Another day, another refugee, another consignment box...
Lad emails are date-stamped; my comments are in bold.
14 July Hello,
I am very sorry to contact you through this medium which I know very well you do not know me...
I know what they were trying to go for, but when they talked about contacting you through "This Medium" I thought for a second... what did they do? Contact you from the after life through a séance? It's funny how they try to sound more professional than they are, and in the process have a habit of removing all legitimacy from themselves. I like how they tried to use so many big words, but ignore the fact that there are only two periods in the who sentence they wrote. Also like them mixing up past and present tense too... Sounds like a good bait thus far from what I've read. Enjoy reading it and gotta say you are pretty good. |

Seems my slang (?) confused him.
2 August hello sir
i do not understand what you mean you dont like lawyer? period.
david kojo
I thought I'd confuse him a bit more.
Mr Kojo
It means I don't like lawyers, OK? That's clear enough, or so I would have thought. Hell, it ain't rocket surgery!
Malcolm Reynolds
But all confusion was forgotten as the Lad gets down to what matters; money!
2 August hello sir
i am just from the lawyer office he check what it will cost us to get all documents change to your name and to get the release of the consignment box from USA to Australian it going to cost us the sum of $5,700 Dollar because the consignment box will be register under the United Nation convid 19 vaccine aircraft to avoid any custom problem during the process of the delivery so I want to know if you are capable to handle this transaction for us and I promise to offer 30% for you as for your legal assistance to stand as our legal beneficiary.
but you are not going to handle the cost alone. I am also going to try to raise part of the money from my side because my late mother left some money behind before she died.
david kojo
3 August hello sir
the lawyer will get the delivery Form from the company to send to you because the delivery form and your passport is going to be used to get the documents changed to your name from the high court to submit to the company legal department.
david
Mal has some issues with that plan.
Mr Kojo
I told you I don't like lawyers, and he's just given me a reason to dislike him personally, as in this. "it going to cost us the sum of $5,700 Dollar because the consignment box will be register under the United Nation convid 19 vaccine aircraft to avoid any custom problem during the process of the delivery" - uh, no; that is smuggling, that is immoral, that is illegal, and that will almost certainly come back to bite us when questions are asked about how come I've got millions in cash.
Malcolm Reynolds
Mr Kojo
You wrote this; "your passport is going to be used to get the documents changed to your name from the high court to submit to the company legal department." That ain't happening. He ain't getting my passport. The Feds don't allow that, and I'm obeying that rule.
Malcolm Reynolds
And something else...
Mr Kojo
Supplemental; why are you telling me these things? I should be getting them from the lawyer himself. You ain't his messenger boy!

One quick rationalisation later...
3 August hello sir
it better i make you to understand so that it will not be a surprise to you if the lawyer contacted you with this information needed to complete the transaction and i dont know how we are going to do it if you cannot send your passport copy which the lawyer will need to get the documents covering my funds in usa in your name as my legal beneficiary.
so how do we handle it
dvaid kojo.
... Mal slaps the Lad down once again.
Mr Kojo
My advice to you? Let the lawyer handle this! He's the SMLE here, not you, so don't waste time with questions and speculations.
Malcolm Reynolds
But the Lad can't quite shut up. Oh well.
3 July hello sir
i understand and i am very sure the lawyer will contact you today but you can still write to him in case

Post by Yastreb on Aug 4, 2021 11:10:15 GMT
The lawyer gets in touch! Some details have been removed rather than altered.
4 August Attention: Mr. Malcolm Reynolds ,
Dear Sir,
Mandate for Legal Representation/Introductions
I Barrister Mensah Bligh... representing the family of David Kojo of Liberia and Mr. Joseph Pressac from Germany who is the former legal beneficiary, yesterday I had a meeting with David Kojo and the company management Pan African Diplomatic Unit regarding the release of the consignment box from the company diplomatic vault USA to your destination address in Australian.
So kindly fill the delivery form attach and send back to me with a copy of your passport which I will used to get the Power of Attorney signed to your name to submit to the company PAN AFRICAN DIPLOMATIC UNIT legal department.
These the breakdown of the expenditure of this transaction
(1) Power of Attorney cost the sum of $1,530 Dollar
(2) United Nation diplomatic permit to register the consignment box cost $1,700 Dollar.
(3) Transport charges from USA to the final destination cost $2,500 Dollar
From the outcome of the meeting this is the total fee $5,730 Dollar Mr. David Kojo needed to be paid and it will take 2 working days to secure the Power of Attorney to your name signed from the High Court of Justice, Ghana.
Please whatever you do not understand kindly ask me a question I am here to render my legal service to secure the delivery of the consignment box to the final destination as your legal representative and attorney.
Best Regards
Barrister Mensah Bligh Esq Attorney at Law
Mr Bligh
Thank you for your message. I have issues with it, but for now, I'll stick to the main one.
You wrote, "So kindly fill the delivery form attach and send back to me with a copy of your passport "; I can't supply a copy of my passport, given that Federal regulations forbid the copying of US passports. You will need a workaround on that; please advise.
Regards
Malcolm Reynolds
The Lad does actually address Mal's concern (sorta), but then goes on to a subject that wasn't raised.
4 August Attention: Mr. Malcolm Reynolds ,
Dear Sir,
I acknowledged your email dated 3rd August and I will advise your passport copy his not going to use for any illegal unlawful act it is the procedure to signed the documents to your name from the high court for security reason. If you are not comfortable sending a copy of your international passport, kindly send any identification to know who I am representing.
Regarding the legal cost there is nothing can be done regarding that because I am not even charging for my legal service because I am the lawyer who representing the previous legal beneficiary to move the consignment box from Ghana to USA through Pan African Diplomatic Unit. So, I am offering a consideration to render my legal service now.
Best Regards
Barrister Mensah Bligh
Attorney at Law
Mal strikes back (italics in original).
Mr Bligh
It's not a matter of feeling uncomfortable; it's a matter of legality. But let's be moving on from that. What kinds of ID are you asking for? I never second-guess.
I didn't ask about the legal costs at any time, but since you mentioned them, I'll go on to that topic.
First off, there's the cost of the Power of Attorney. I've held a couple of PoAs, and they only cost a nominal fee. I'd appreciate a full explanation for such an exorbitant fee.
Secondly, there's the UN diplomatic permit. Here's what Mr Kojo told me about it, and what I said.
"the consignment box will be register under the United Nation convid 19 vaccine aircraft to avoid any custom problem during the process of the delivery" - uh, no; that is smuggling, that is immoral, that is illegal, and that will almost certainly come back to bite us when questions are asked about how come I've got millions in cash.
Find a workaround for this, or this project is over before it begins.
Regards
Malcolm Reynolds
The Lad is confident. This must change!
4 August Attention: Mr. Malcolm Reynolds ,
Dear Sir,
The ID card any form of document with your photography to know who the documents should be sign to he or her name as the legal beneficiary for legality and security purpose so that the consignment box does not deliver to wrong person. So kindly fill in the delivery form attaches on my previous email.
The Power of Attorney while it cost that amount because it changing to a third parties on same consignment box and what Mr. David Kojo trying to explain to you about the United Nation military aircraft he didn't put it to you to understand very well that is why he mention covid 19 vaccine aircraft because nobody mentions sure to him during our meeting with the company PAN AFRICAN DIPLOMATIC UNIT.
The United Nation diplomatic permit to register the consignment box his to avoid any custom inspection during the process of the delivery from United States of America to Australian which is the normal protocol and it is not smuggling or illegal process this is same process being handle to move the consignment box successfully from Ghana to United States before the consignment box was held and deposit under Pan African diplomatic vault USA.

As Mal considers his answer to the lawyer, he snaps at the orphan.
Mr Kojo
Ask Mr Bligh what's happening.
Malcolm Reynolds
The orphan can't help stressing the need for Mal's money!
4 August hello sir
thank you so much i will follow up with the lawyer to know your communication and position of things but one thing you should understand i so much need your help to move this funds out of usa and for us to get a new life with this money inside the consignment box in abroad . i know it hard and difficult financial but i want to assure you that you will never be disappointed to stand as my legal foreign beneficiary.
david kojo
6 August hello sir
how are you doing today sir? i am just coming from the lawyer office to discuss the way forward regarding my transaction that i am seeking for your foreign assistance to stand as my legal beneficiary for enable us to used your name to move this funds out of usa to australian so what we require to get all documents in your name will cost us money which i do not have the complete money sir so i am also seeking for your financial assistance to complete this transaction and you have to send me your full details that i am going to used to prepare the MOU agreement for us to sign together as a partner. pls sir i need your help to complete this transaction since i have 100% develop my trust and confident in you sir.
david kojo
But it's to no avail. Mal has something he wants the lawyer to answer.
Mr Bligh
You wrote "The United Nation diplomatic permit to register the consignment box his to avoid any custom inspection during the process of the delivery from United States of America to Australian " - answer me this; is the box being sent in the custody of a diplomat, in a diplomatic bag?
Regards
Malcolm Reynolds
Spoiler alert; there is no right answer.

There is nothing suspicious about what the Lad lawyer describes as procedure, oh no...
6 August Attention: Mr. Malcolm Reynolds ,
Dear Sir,
The consignment box will be transport through a diplomatic service officer, register under the United Nation diplomatic permit to avoid search by the custom officer during their duty. This is the method many governments official move large sum of money from African to Abroad without any search.
Best regards
Barrister Mensah Bligh Esq
Attorney at Law
Mal speaks plainly in return.
Mr Bligh
If this man is indeed a diplomat, then he will have accreditation, and he won't need any "United Nations Diplomatic Permit."
If this man is not a diplomat, then he is not entitled to diplomatic privilege, and the "United Nations Diplomatic Permit" is a chimera.
Either way, you are lying to me.
Malcolm Reynolds
Mr Kojo
I have just proved that Mr Bligh is a liar. So where does that leave you now?
Malcolm Reynolds
The orphan is shocked! Shocked!!
7 August Hello sir
What are you talking about ? Do you the effort the lawyer has render since we begin to represent us. Sir if you are not ready please just say it than for you insulting the lawyer.
Thank u
David Kojo
The lawyer is, by constrast, almost unconcerned.
7 August Attention: Mr. Malcolm Reynolds ,
Dear Sir,
As a lawyer what it will be my benefit to lie to you ?I am here to advise the process of the kind of nature of business.
Best regards
Barrister Mensah Bligh
Attorney at Law
Mr Bligh
Two reasons why you'd lie. One is purely venal, whereas the other is far more serious.
The first is to make some payola by charging a large fee for a non-existent document, which is depressingly SOP and the main reason for why I don't like lawyers.
The second is part of a scheme to make me is pasty in money laundering; making me pay for documents and thereby creating a false evidence trail to divert investigators while you make your escape.
I can't think of a third reason.
Malcolm Reynolds
Mr Kojo
I don't give a flying fuck for all Bligh's "efforts" if he's going to tell me things that I know beyond even a scintilla of doubt to be untrue. The asshole lied to me.
Malcolm Reynolds

Blight has gone strangely quiet; not so the orphan.
7 August Sir
I do not understand what you mean I have a documents related to my funds in usa so I don't see whereby anyone will lie to you after several communication with you
David kojo
Mal explained, quoting his email to Bligh (italics in original)
Mr Kojo
People have reasons to lie. Bligh certainly did. This is what I told him when he asked what he would get from lying.
Two reasons why you'd lie. One is purely venal, whereas the other is far more serious.
The first is to make some payola by charging a large fee for a non-existent document, which is depressingly SOP and the main reason for why I don't like lawyers.

The orphan is still playing dumb.
8 August Sir
What are you talking about who is lieing to you? I have all documents and I am not going to push you to do whatever you didn't plan for this funds inside the consignment BOX his my family inheritance funds I just need a trusted and reliable person to use to stand as my legal beneficiary and it going to cost me that is why I need your financial help incase I cant handle the expenses alone.
So why the lawyer will lie to you after his explaining the details of the transaction how it going to work for us without any problem
David kojo
So Mal explains things again.
Mr Kojo
When someone demands payment for a document that can't exist, and therefore doesn't exist, he's lying, and I'm going to refuse payment. It's as simple as that.
Bligh demanded payment of $1,700 for a "United Nations Diplomatic Permit" so that a diplomat can avoid inspection of the consignment by customs.
But a diplomat has diplomatic immunity; consequently, he doesn't need a "United Nations Diplomatic Permit." So this guy who's delivering the consignment isn't a diplomat; that means he shouldn't get diplomatic immunity, because that would make a mockery of the whole concept of diplomatic immunity.
If you could simply buy a document granting diplomatic immunity, smugglers of all kinds would be buying them up and using them for drugs, guns, people, and worse, and no-one could stop them.
Therefore, Bligh is lying, and if he's lying, I can't trust him. It's as simple as that.
And if you can't understand what I'm telling you, I'm wondering how you could have gotten this far in life.
Malcolm Reynolds

Unsually for a Sunday, emails are flying thick and fast. Hey, that's lockdown for you.
The Lad's need to defend his barrister is touching (not really), but it's not going to help his case.
8 August Mr malcom
I have no doubt how you feel towards the united nation diplomatic permit because I believe u have experience already and barrister bligh has been our legal representative for this consignment BOX to move from Ghana to USA without any problem not until our former beneficiary died.
Barrister bligh long time ago he has been working for my late mother so to be honest I believe he cannot cheat on us or take advantage on us.
I can send you all documents including my passport so that what I am telling you his real and clean. So I need both of you to get this transaction done for everyone of us sir.
David kojo
8 August Sir
I dont know much how the company diplomat operate so my major concerns his to get this transaction successfully for everyone of us
David kojo
Mr Kojo
"I have no doubt how you feel towards the united nation diplomatic permit because I believe u have experience already" - I was a Marine guard at four US embassies in my career, and I know how diplomats work.
You also said, "I dont know much how the company diplomat operate" - companies don't have diplomats. Diplomats came from sovereign nations.
Malcolm Reynolds
Mr Kojo
As I understand it... you're telling me that Bligh is totally honest, when I know for certain that he's lied to me.
That's a contradiction, and contradictions don't exist. Check your premises; you'll find that one of them is wrong.
Malcolm Reynolds
Seems our orphan is running out of ideas!
8 August Sir
So.what it is your advise now ? Because bligh his our lawyer working with us for a very long time and for him to safe guard this transaction without any problem for the consignment box to leave for usa that is why I see him to be honest and it is the company Pan African Diplomatic unit told us what we need for the consignment box to be deliver from usa to Australia and we need a lawyer to represent you that is why our lawyer bligh get involved and he will never lead us wrong because that is what he pay for and maybe the cost of this legal process you are trying to consider
But I want to assure you that whatever we spend in this transaction you will never be disappointed that is why I so much need your help so that we can invest this funds in Australia as one family
David Kojo
Subtle isn't working. Time for the clue bat.
Mr Kojo
Bligh is telling an outright lie, and I've explained what it is, but you insist on telling me how honest he is, and how he'll never lead you wrong.
Then you say that "maybe the cost of this legal process you are trying to consider" - no, it's got nothing to do with the cost of anything. It's to do with how Bligh is a fucking liar and you won't listen to the facts.
And if you won't listen, I'm cutting you loose. It's as simple as that.
Malcolm Reynolds
There's a rule that applies in many areas, which is "Never ask a question when you don't already know the answer." The orphan doesn't know about the rule...
9 August Sir
Let deal directly with the company Pan African diplomatic unit and if you want to cut off all communication with me because of barrister bligh I don't know what you want me to do because someone that as been working for my family for a very long time.
Suddenly his a liar if his a liar how come my consignment box move to usa through his legal process?
David
9 August Sir
The most important thing his a safe and secure delivery of the consignment box to Australia without any problem his my major concern and I do not know another lawyer here in Ghana and we can get the rest document without the United nations diplomatic permit but what about if the consignment box stop in Australia for inspection?
I need your advice
David
Mr Kojo
If "Pan African Diplomatic Unit" is a company, then everything is suspect. As I said before, companies don't and can't have the rights of sovereign nations, so they don't have diplomats on their payroll.
Something else comes to mind; you said "if his a liar how come my consignment box move to usa through his legal process" - now here's the thing; how do you know that the consignment box is in the US? Who told you that?
Malcolm Reynolds
Mr Kojo
I disagree! The most important thing is to find out where the consignment box really is. You say that Bligh worked for your family for a long time and you trust him totally, but given what this is about, and the fact that millions of dollars can tempt a man, why is so fucking impossible to consider that he might turn on you?
Malcolm Reynolds

Post by Yastreb on Aug 9, 2021 10:55:18 GMT
I'm wondering if the Orphan is trying to piss off Mal...
9 August Mr malcolm
You have your right to doubt that is why I said maybe it is because of the legal cost the consignment box deposited in Pan African Diplomatic Unit his a security company and our former beneficiary who is from Germany mr Podesta advise the consignment box to move to usa before it was london he plan to invest but he later change his mind to usa.
Barrister bligh worked for my late mother during her trade of gold in Ghana and we confirm everything from the company about the shipment of the consignment box to usa I have all documents with me. But if you continue to doubt the company and the lawyer I don't know what to do. But I really need your help
David
Because Mal is pissed off.
Mr Kojo
If you dare to repeat that festering bullshit about my doubts being because of the legal costs, you can go to hell.
I'm not lying to you. I know that Bligh lied to me about the Diplomatic Permit, and I know that a company doesn't have the privileges of a sovereign nation.
And that's all I have to say to you about this.
You trust who you want. I know who I trust.
Malcolm Reynolds

The Orphan takes the hint, but for some reason can't put everything in one email.
10 August hello mr malcolm
I really understand you due your experience working with embassy you know much about diplomatic issue which i will never question your experience but do not used the word i should go to hell i am not refugee or slave i was born by rich man it is because of death i am facing difficult time in ghana and I really need your help to move this funds out of USA . if you want us to deal directly with the company legal department, that is fine by me but barrister bligh has been a very good and straight man to us that is why i have no doubt about him.
david kojo
10 August
Sir
I came to Ghana because of this transaction to discus with the company and also meet the lawyer during when when my mother was very sick with Corona virus before she died. And since our funds his in usa I can as well find someone capable in usa to be our foreign partner but that is not the issue the main issue his to get someone capable and trust worthy to handle this transaction. That is why I contacted you which is not easy for you to trust me for sure are offer . I want to thank you for the trust but I still want you to understand you will never be disappointed and barrister bligh also make me to understand that every diplomat official has a diplomatic immunity and the reason why my consignment box needs the un Diplomatic permit because it is a physical cash being transport from Ghana to usa .
He also said I can get another lawyer of my choice if you are not comfortable with him to represent you to sign any documents to your name to submit to the company legal department
Sir I really need your help
David kojo
Mal replies with a dissertation on mortality...
Mr Kojo
You said, "do not used the word i should go to hell i am not refugee or slave i was born by rich man" - as I understood the Christian Hell, the dead are equal; wealth is meaningless there. Now I have no religion, but I know that Death is the great leveller; as the poet said, "You may be a king, or just a street sweeper, but you'll still be dancing with the Grim Reaper." Plus there's the fact that your father was a war criminal. Are you proud of that? Does wealth wash everything clean?
Malcolm Reynolds
... But returns to the topic at hand.
Mr Kojo
You said this; "barrister bligh also make me to understand that every diplomat official has a diplomatic immunity and the reason why my consignment box needs the un Diplomatic permit because it is a physical cash being transport from Ghana to usa" - but the company has no diplomats. That makes every fucking thing the sainted Bligh says meaningless! Don't you understand that?
Malcolm Reynolds
The orphan dodges the subject of his father's war crimes and chooses to whine instead.
11 April
Hello mr malcolm
So what it is your advise towards this transaction because we can repeating same word if you want to help me please let me know because as you can see I am putting so much confident in you to stand as my legal foreign beneficiary for enable us to use your name to move this funds out of usa to Australia for my future investment
David kojo
Well, if he doesn't want to have things repeated... I'll change the dynamic, and add some mangled metaphors
OK, I get it. I should have seen that coming.
"enable us to use your name to move this funds out of usa" - in other words, to use me as the pasty, the escape goat.
Yep, I should have seen that coming.
11 August Escape goat I do not understand
I reply with some more mangled metaphors.
Mr Kojo
Escape goat... chimp, fell guy, miggins, you know? Do I have to draw you a gorram picture?
Malcolm Reynolds
Methinks the Lad's patience had run out (finally).
11 August so what do you really want? if you cannot able to stand as my legal beneficiary please say it than for you beating around the bush with your bla bla indirect word. i do not have time for this i am here for my transaction very serious and i need a trusted person to stand as my legal beneficiary please kindly go ahead to draw a gorram picture i am waiting sir
Mr Kojo
"so what do you really want?" I want nothing from you. You're the one who's wanting.
"you beating around the bush with your bla bla indirect word" - I've been very direct. But you couldn't handle that.
"i need a trusted person to stand as my legal beneficiary" - But I can't trust you. That's the paradox.

I dont know what to say I so much have confident to trust you to stand as my legal beneficiary but you are not ready for us to proceed with the legal process and I so much need your help. I am sorry if you feel very negative about the lawyer
David kojo
Mr kojo
For someone who doesn't know what to say, you say an awful lot.
I'll ask this; what makes you so confident in me as your legal beneficiary?
Malcolm Reynolds
13 August Sir
I dont know why am so confident in you to stand as my legal beneficiary maybe I am wrong
13 August Sir
Let me if you can handle this transaction or not because I have to get things straight if you cant be able to help let me know so that I stop wasting my time depending on you in vain.
David kojo
I was sure that the second message was meant to begin "let me know," so I decided to have some fun and leave out the verbs in my reply.*
Mr Kojo
If you yet I serious doubts about everything in this business, then you attention at all. I to this transaction, and that's all she. If you to time on me, free, but that I you.
Malcolm Reynolds
14 August
Sir
I do not understand all you write
Thank you
David
Mr Kojo
The number of times you'd said "I don't know" and "I don't understand" only confirms that I made the right decision.
Malcolm Reynolds
*If you haven't yet realised I have serious doubts about everything in this business, then you weren't paying attention at all. I don't want to handle this transaction, and that's all she wrote. If you want to waste time on me, feel free, but don't say that I didn't warn you.

Sir
Too many emails we have sent and where is going to lead us yes I dont understand some of your email and I still dont understand if I make the right choice to seek for your foreign assistance to stand as my legal beneficiary to receive my consignment BOX for me to have access to the funds for investment
David
A couple of days pass...
Mr Kojo
I've mapped out the plausible scenarios for this business, and in both cases I end up as the victim. Ask yourself why I'd knowingly accept that role.
Malcolm Reynolds
17 August sir
thank you for your message there is nothing like being a victim, my transaction is real and i cannot force you to accept to be my legal beneficiary after all it will benefit you and i in the future but since you have negative doubt about the lawyer there is nothing i can do because this lawyer has been there for me and my family since we came to ghana helping us with every legal process we need to move our funds out of ghana to usa.
once again thank you for your time and GOD bless
david kojo
Mr Kojo
You tell me how this deal is such a good thing and I'll benefit, but I have no idea how being involved in a criminal conspiracy as the escape goat is a good thing. Your story about how the barrister got the consignment box to the US is blatantly false, but you won't give it up. Over and over again you've told me that the barrister is as pure as the drivelling snow, even though I've conclusively proved him a liar. The only conclusion to draw from that is that either you're hopelessly stupid and gullible, or you're part of the barrister's plans. Either way, I'm not part of this.
Malcolm Reynolds
19 August sir
you speak indirect word but his ok. if you are not interested i cannot force you
thank you for your time
david
Mr Kojo
What the hell was "indirect" about what I wrote to you? It was pretty fucking straightforward! And you bet your ass you can't force me, so stop sending pointless emails.
Malcolm Reynolds
19 August sir
because you are not ready and you dont want to say it just wasting my time. that is why i said you are using indirect word.
yes if you tell me to stop writing you pointless email i will stop ok. because i am going to spend money in this transaction so i need someone capable financially to stand as my legal beneficiary for 30% from the total money inside the consignment box once we get it done
david kojo
Mal did tell him to stop writing pointless emails, so now less subtle means are needed.
Mr Kojo
Stop writing to me, asshole!
Malcolm Reynolds
20 August
You are more asshole poor ass
Stop wasting your time writing to me, you stupid fuck.
That should end it, unless the Lad tries for the last word.
