Photos: Battle between the fake and real US embassy in Ghana

A fake United States Embassy was recently busted in Ghana after operating illegally for a decade. According to a statement released by the U.S. State Department, the sham embassy was operated in Accra by a cartel that issued illegally obtained but legitimate visas. 

The syndicate issued fraudulently obtained but legitimate U.S. visas and false identification documents, including birth certificates at a cost of $6,000 each.
