Episode 3: A Simple Question of Pride

Erik Goaied, a Tunisian businessman with ties to the Gaddafi regime, says he knows who is behind the scam in Ghana that led Curt and Richard to lose millions of dollars. Erik tells Maeve and Sophia he’s been tracking the scammers in Ghana for a while and offers a compelling explanation for why Curt and Richard were targeted for the scam. Maeve and Sophia work to corroborate Erik’s story, comparing documents, images, and first-hand accounts. A lot of Erik’s story lines up with what Curt and Richard say happened to them in Ghana. But not quite.
