The daughter of an East Village man who had been missing for 24 years believes her father has finally come home, but she says his story about suffering from amnesia is a selfish lie.
“He is who he says he is,” abandoned daughter Kesha Bright told The Post.
“He’s Winston Bright and he’s a scammer,” she fumed.
Winston is asking a court to overturn a 2000 order that declared him dead and let his wife, Leslie, collect his $ 600-a-month Verizon pension.
Bright says he assumed the name Kwame Seku after finding himself wandering the streets of San Diego in 1990 without knowing his identity. He says he only recently remembered his past as a married father of three.
But his ex-family says he’s dead to them.
Kesha, 32, accompanied her two brothers and mom, 61, to Manhattan Surrogate’s Court Friday to tell a judge that Seku, 65, had fabricated the amnesia tale.
And his bitter ex said she doesn’t want to give up the pension checks.
