episode 7: Nkrumah's Gold
In this episode we delve into the captivating untold story of a Ghanaian scammer who capitalized on post-independence chaos to weave a web of lies about missing gold, secret Swiss bank accounts, and a mysterious fund that held untold billions. Under the guise of releasing this fictitious fund, he swindled millions from unsuspecting investors, weaving a web of Cold War intrigue, global finance, and mythological entities. The story not only illuminates the audacious con but also explores the intricate relationship between deception and the shaping of history.
For our Plus+ members, we turn our attention to a UFO outbreak in Israel during the early 1990s. What initially appeared as a standard UFO occurrence took a terrifying turn. Could warring extraterrestrial species have descended upon Israel during those years, and what were their intentions? We delve into the account of a man who claims to have discovered an unusual artifact that could hold the key to this mystery.
