    Some people always want the easy way out. Hope she enjoys her prison stay.

  • Baba 10 years ago

    I believe she just didn't get the right lawyer to defend her. If you are hard up and pawn your coupon for less value and the person who saved you claimed full value why should that person be prosecuted?

  • insp we.i 10 years ago

    Buddy, it states that it is illegal to trade in food stamps, get it?

  • MenayeAFUAforiwa 10 years ago

    insp we.i,there is no way you would explain it to Baba for him to understand you because he lives in corrupt Ghana where such acts are permitted-no offence committed.

  • Afia 10 years ago

    Not to the tune of 3 million dollars

  • vl 10 years ago

    Baba,
    It is against the law to buy, sell, or trade the snap benefits. It's shameful for her to have done that. She should go to jail for that. Men, I feel so ashamed about this.

  • Observer 10 years ago

    She will be prosecuted and do jail time because she is in America and not Ghana. Notable criminals like Afriyie-Ankrah and Kwesi Nantakye will already be serving jail time if they lived in the USA. That is why the country is ...

  • Nokware_ Asa 10 years ago

    Than the U.S Attorney who prosecuted this case?
    Look, those people are consummate 'pros', who do not take payoffs, to scuttle or throw away cases they ae handling in court!

  • Palmwine Tapper 10 years ago

    Baba, FYI, is Federal Crime in US and not even a State crime. Her stinky black Ass is Chewed. She will be jail for a long time. You bet your corrupt mindset Black Ass in GH.

  • Mojingles 10 years ago

    Baba, did you read the article well at all? If you sell your SNAP coupons, it is a crime under the law, period.

  • Zuri 10 years ago

    Kwasea,you're still defending her greed.You think think this Ghana where you get away with everything! .

  • tsoo 10 years ago

    Baba this is not a matter of lawyer; she was suppose to give them items and food stuff not cash. She went against the law.

  • AKT New York 10 years ago

    She has a castle and a hummer vehicle in Accra waiting for her!

  • K. Asante CT 10 years ago

    She goes to Ghana and do big things and people think some of as are good for nothing by not doing much back home. I suggest she refund the money and serve a little jail time.

  • Asante 10 years ago

    The US Government will seize all her assets wherever they may be.

  • koffi parker 10 years ago

    Oh!!!! omo Ghana, Nigerians will say, so you will be happy to see that all her assets in Ghana are taken from her much to the excitement of losers like you

  • Observer 10 years ago

    You and I both know that refunding the money does not necessarily equate to serving less time. This is America not Ghana where laws simply do not work.

  • DAAVI 10 years ago

    SOME OF OUR PEOPLE WERE EVEN SOLD, SO SHE WAS TRYING TO GET SOME OF THE MONEY THE WHITE PEOPLE PROFITED BACK, SO LEAVE HER ALONE.
