As we told you, the journey has been a painful one. In 2013 then accused money launderer Michael Coye passed away from a heart attack. He suffered from a diabetic condition in prison and five days after receiving bail he was dead. So while the victory for the family is complete, it is also bittersweet.

“It has been a very long journey for us as a family and to move forward from here, we’re very happy to say that our names have been cleared and also I know my dad is looking out from above and he is seeing that finally justice has been done for us and that we’re happy to get back whatever was taken unlawfully. So we’re happy. I’m happy at this point and I can move forward from here, and the family as well.”

“While there has been a financial victory for you and the family you have lost so much in this journey…”

Melonie Coye

“Yes I have. I have lost my dad and he was my mentor and a lot of people know him. He was a very good person and he has helped a lot of people throughout his life. I know it’s been hard for us and it’s tough that he’s not here to see this but in the end you know good always overcomes, so I’m happy.”
