Airport For Sale, No Low-Ball Offers
Although Emmanuel Nwude is a total piece of garbage (his Wikipedia page will help you find out why), we can’t help but admit that selling a freaking airport has got to be one of the most hilarious things you can do. But to top it all off, there wasn’t even an airport in the transaction. He received $191 million and roughly $51 million in outstanding stock for nothing!
It really was a messy case that involved fraudulent business practices by multiple parties. The scam only came to light when a Spanish financial services company wanted to take over the investing company.
