“I had the opportunity to do wash wash, to do crazy deals even while at State House, but I didn’t,” said Big Ted.

At the time he turned down the offer to get rich quick, he was deep in debt. His company, Main Events, had incurred Ksh 15 million debt due to financial mismanagement.

“In my life, I have been bankrupt twice, the latest being three years ago… I was bankrupt while working at State House. I will never forget what she ‘Wash operative’ told me that day when I left the office. She said, Ted, if we agree today, then nobody you owe money will call you again. I left that place with nothing, but I left free,” said Big Ted.

Adding that;

“This was the easiest cash I was going to make in my life. The risk was too low. I debated within myself. Finally, I picked my phone and called my friend, ‘I am sorry, bro. No deal. He pleaded and I told him, ‘Sorry, let me keep the trust, it is more valuable’,”.
