A loyal investor, New Jersey Businessman Walter Hajduk, says he visited Blay-Miezah in a government compound, where the Ghanaian urged him to tell officials that, if set free for seven days, he could travel to Europe and prove that the trust exists. If he failed, Blay- + Miezah told the investor, the authorities could shoot him. Hajduk would like the Ghanaians to take Blay-Miezah up on his offer.
