From Yahoo News Comment section:
The US-registered Bombardier corporate jet, carrying the registration number N604EP, is owned and operated by a Ghana-based engineering firm. Its CEO is Mr. Ibrahim Mahama, the younger brother of Ghana’s then-Vice President H.E. John Dramani Mahama, who became Ghana’s president in July, 2012.
Here’s a better question. The USAid arm of the state department gave $97.8 million to Ghana in 2012, the plane was bought and registered in 2013. So how much of US taxpayer money funded the purchase ($42 million) of that stnking plane?

From Zerohedge :
“As South China Morning Post reports, police were last night making arrangements with a mainland businessman to check whether HK$270 million of gold bullion he bought in Africa was genuine after part of the consignment was swapped with metal bars.
On Wednesday, Zhao Jingjun, 43, opened part of his shipment in front of his buyer in Hong Kong and discovered the gold had been switched for worthless metal.
A senior officer said it would be the city’s biggest heist in a decade if it was confirmed that all the gold had been stolen.
An initial inquiry showed Zhao purchased 998kg of gold bars from a company in Ghana in mid-April [2014], police said. “
The consignment, in 14 cases, was escorted by his staff and delivered from Ghana on a chartered flight late last month.[may 2014]
