A while back there was an article on a scam in Africa, Kenya IIRC.
It involved political donations and had references to Obama in it.
Can anyone point me to this or have any idea that might help?
Thanks
there are so many, this one?

Nigerian anti-graft investigators have seized money raised by the head of the Nigerian Stock Exchange to support US presidential candidate Barack Obama.
The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission said it would give the money back to those who attended a gala dinner in Lagos last month.
The EFCC said it had seized 74m naira ($630,000, £314,000), but said no Nigerian laws had been broken.
US political parties are not allowed to receive contributions from abroad.
