Bottom line seems that at least $22 million is gone.

Can’t say it surprises me unfortunately.

Didn’t read the link as refuse to read DM tripe. I’m sure Kofi Annan’s ( excuse the spelling) son was embroiled in mass corruption and misappropriation of money.

£22m? Amateurs, a guy I used to work with managed 10x that in a dodgy PPE deal.

No surprise.

We don't hear about stuff like this more because we'd all get really bored reading it all day every day.

Put money in a pile and someone will nick some of it even if they say they are trustworthy.
