The judgment mandated the payment of $11,585,753, €8,500, and GH₵1,400,000, plus interest and legal costs of GH₵500,000 due to finding no reasonable from the defendant against the plaintiffs claims.

@KSnetne said:

"This is a monumental wake-up call for every single tech founder and executive in Ghana. The judge explicitly refused to remove Andrew Takyi-Appiah from the lawsuit because evidence showed a substantial amount of the client's corporate funds was deposited directly into the CEO's personal mobile money wallet. Once you co-mingle corporate funds with personal accounts, you strip away the protection of a "limited liability" company. The court pierces the corporate veil, and your personal home becomes fair game for seizure."
