A man from the African country of Ivory Coast who lives in Richmond Hill stopped me recently on the street. He knew me from my work and he knew that I am from Guyana. He told me that he heard on the news that Ahmad got arrested for fraud. I told him yes it was true. Then he looked at me puzzled and then said. "How can a man like Ahmad who is so rich be arrested by the police it just does not make any sense". Then he walked away up the street with a puzzled look on his face. I think to my self "Different worlds for different folks"
A lot of ordinary folks from different countries felt good that an immigrant like Mr Ahmad Mmade it in NY. Dont forget that Mr Ahmad picture time. Immigrant entrepeneurs felt that Mr Ahmad was thier rold model.
But turned out to be an alleged fraudster. I hope parents and mature persons caution the youth about such scamsters. Remember Madoff was also a hero to some.
There are many living just below the radar screen, doing comfortable well legally and giving back to the community and Guyana without looking for fame or special favours. The man seem to have had a price tag on everything and ensured he got his ounce of flesh for whatever he gave.
