Assuming BTA is legitimate is there any way around it?

Question

I know someone in Benin trying to get out. They have been scared off with the idea they will be incarcerated if they try to leave without providing proof of having at least 2700USD. I understand there are scams coming out of africa using the BTA as a vechile. However some information has come back to me indicating the BTA does exist in so far as you may be asked to provide proof that you can finacially sustain yourself when you reach your destination. What I am curious about is if anyone knows the facts about the BTA? Or knows of any way around the legislation if it at all exists.

Answer 1

the best to solve a BTA problem is "just ignore them all!"
