McReggae tell us the Churchill story.
This is how it works - not only for Churchill but for anyone with money that can be "redistributed".
There is a group of West Africans that are recruiting beautiful girls with kawaida jobs. It could be the loan officer/teller at your local bank, that beautiful lady you always see at your broker's office etc. The fellows then target a well to do individual - an MP, Evangelist or any wealthy (as opposed to rich) individual for the con/extortion job. Sometimes the recruitment works in reverse. They first identify the individual they want to blackmail then recruit a beautiful lady somewhere he frequents - his bank etc.
The lady befriends the wealthy individual. They start going for dates - coffee here, lunch there, a movie or two etc. The fellow is confident because this is not some chick they picked on the streets or a pub. One day the fellow will want to land. The lady agrees after sometime and suggests they go to her place/her friends place in Kileleshwa/Riverside or some other upmarket apartments. They get there, they both strip naked, or the lady helps the fellow out of his clothes and just when the fellow is about to say "twende kazi", guys storm in armed with cameras and take photographs from all angles. Some will have video cameras pre-installed and running in the apartment. Then follows the extortion. A couple of millis or we go public with this story and the pictures - Internet and all. One fellow might even claim to be the lady's husband to spice things up. You freak out, pay them the millis they are asking for and they kill the story. The lady gets a milli or two and everyone lives happily ever after. Well, not everyone!
Ever heard how this extortion works at the coast - The Kenyan version - which actually pre-dates the West African one. Want to hear it?
Never count on making a good sale. Have the purchase price be so attractive that even a mediocre sale gives good returns.
