In a recent interview, Ghanaian-born American comedian Michael Blackson opened up about a painful chapter in his financial journey, where he was reportedly robbed of his initial $1.2 million Eurobond investment. The money was meant to fund his school, but according to Blackson, a previous administration mishandled the investment, leading to his financial loss.
The comedian shared his experience for the first time, revealing the details of the unfortunate incident. He mentioned that a close associate, who happened to be a cousin of the then-president, approached him with an offer to help recover the money for a 10% fee. Blackson admitted that in hindsight, he regrets not taking the offer, as it could have potentially helped him regain his investment.
While Blackson did not name the specific individuals involved, his story sheds light on the complex and often frustrating world of financial investments, especially when political figures and personal relationships are intertwined. This revelation adds another layer to his career, one that spans comedy, entrepreneurship, and now, personal financial challenges.
