The mastermind behind this elaborate scam is known as a con artist and fraudster who has been operating in the shadows of the financial world for years. He has a history of manipulating governments and individuals into lucrative deals that ultimately benefit only himself.
His smooth-talking demeanor and convincing facade have managed to deceive even high-ranking officials like Salva Kiir, the President of South Sudan, into signing off on a deal that would ultimately cost the country billions in revenue. It is unclear how he managed to gain the trust of Kiir and his government, but it is evident that his connections and manipulation tactics played a significant role in sealing the deal.

He is a wolf in sheep’s clothing, preying on the vulnerabilities and naivety of those around him to further his own selfish agenda.

It is a sobering reminder of the lengths that some individuals will go to in order to exploit others for personal gain.
