Give it a rest Mike the Operator has assured Cme that he will be repaid shortly and the three of us are working it out. You can ask Cme for clarification if you like?

Corey asked for a refund in mid-June. It’s now mid-November. You think it is reasonable for someone to wait 5 months to get a refund on an $80,000 deposit paid for a hunt sold on a closed concession? Seems like those giving it a rest (and Corey the shaft) are those that sold the hunt.

Andrew,

It has taken far too long for this fiasco to get sorted out.

Members will NOT give it a rest until the client gets his money back.

If I had any notions of hunting Zambia, it no longer exits.

Far too many questions, crooked government officials and crooked concession owners.

A recipe to avoid at any cost.

I know, you don’t have much to do with it, but they are pulling the strings.

Totally unacceptable.

I can only put so much pressure on the Operator who keeps insisting that the payment will be made shortly. I am in communication with Cme and I am afraid there is not much more I can do. The Operator has paid back all clients to date and a couple of them from AR bar one.

Snide comments from others will not speed up the process.

Andrew,

I know the problem was not created by you.

You are a victim like the client.

But Ibi is sleeping on the money is not doing anyone any favors, least of all himself.

So what would all the AR layers suggest I do?

Andrew, I'm no "layer", but the first thing I would recommend is discontinuing to challenge and distance those of us that had nothing against you in the beginning of this.

And tell Ibri, in no uncertain terms, that you will NEVER, EVER, hunt on his concession, and you tell every prospective hunter going there about his utterly disgusting reputation!

I have no time for crooks!

And he has proven himself to be a Class A crook!

I hope Corey gets his money back . I am sure this is quite stressful.

Larry that is a damaging statement and I would ask you for your source. Any Operator working under fragile conditions imposed by the Government requires support, not condemnation. I have watched Chanjuzi grow under his charge and hence very comfortable with booking my clients here.

. . . doesn’t sound like a renunciation of Ibi is going to be forthcoming any time soon.
