    I don't blame Lamptey for his downfall. He was abused as a kid and taken advantage of by agents as an adult. Tragic story.

    He must have done something wrong whiles growing up that gave him all those bad lucks. I've realized that in life, we need to do things that will give us good luck and those good lucks will help us in the journey of life.

He's a miser and wouldn't give anything to friends. Her mum was good to strangers and others. However, this guy is closer to the mum than any of his siblings. He's been helping the mum from childhood and at almost 50yrs, still taking care of his bedridden mum.

    I looked into that and it was true. That woman was wicked messed up. He had children that passed away(2) with her. Then as you very well know, she cheated on him and birthed 3 girls from another man or men. He knew something was not right and his girls were not his own and did a dna test on them and found out they weren't his. He divorced her and she sued for his apartment and other things and the judge denied her which was awesome, he would've lost here in the US I think. I know his alleged daughters hated their mother for that. So check out his ex wife's defense. She lied and said he couldn't have kids after their children's death and he asked or they agreed she could have children by another man/men. Apparently he could have kids. After he divorced her he remarried and had kids.
