Fair game by his own statements has no concessions, and the member wants to hunt w his father or not at all. Fair game would have to bind another such concession holder to offer that free safari. That he cannot do. | |||

Mike, I hear you, but in my business, what I see day in and day out is people blame people who have no responsibility whatsoever only because they have the ability to pay. | |||

. . . he marketed and sold the hunt, Corey would have never even known much less dealt with Ibi but for Andrew who obviously explicitly or implicitly communicated that paying Ibi was okay and that Ibi was someone who could be trusted. Sorry, someone that initiated, facilitated and ultimately caused the transaction with Ibi to be consummated does not get a pass in my view, much less deserve to be called a victim. Then to tell Corey good luck getting your money from Ibi, that’s just reprehensible. Mike | |||

Lawyers logic. Tell me, you take on a case, and you lose. Do you pay the client? | |||

Not sure what you mean by "they" considering the entire sum was paid directly to Ibi and the only one who knows where these funds were utilised. To put a lid on the "commissions" speculations, CM should ask Ibi how much was allegedly paid to Andrew. | |||
|
One of Us |
Seems to be that there are two sides here . One thinks that Andrew has no responsibility as he allegedly received none of the money. The other side , based on the facts that Mike Jines has written , believe Andrew has responsibility. No amount of writing these same facts over and over will change the mind of the opposing side . For whatever it is worth , I communicated with CME this week. He did not get the February payment. He was promised the March payment but would be unable to pay the missed March payment. | |||

The person who received the money is solely responsible to return it. No one else. | |||

Strange that people think money is the only reward Andrew may have gotten for steering the mark to Ibi. Andrew was and is an accomplice to the bigger crook. He does bear some responsibility. | |||

"Accomplice" is a harsh word as it brands Andrew as a partner in crime so judged by the lynching mob because that would be their opinion. Andrew's responsibility would be that of incessantly hammering Ibi to make good with CME in the shortest possible time frame which in all fairness I think Andrew is doing but which also has its limits or do you think he's sitting on his arse sipping scotch on the rocks watching the sun go down? On the flip side of the coin Ibi has probably exhausted his financial resources and as he doesn't appear to have any concessions which will attract clients ($$$) has put himself between a rock and a hard place. | |||
|
One of Us |
No, I was not. The only thing I know is that Andrew sold a hunt in a closed concession and CME ended up getting screwed out of $80k. I guess, to be accurate, he was screwed out of $75k since Andrew’s business partner sent him $5k. ____________________________________________ "Build a man a fire, and he'll be warm for a day.

I don’t want to continue a quote discussion. I am disappointed that you chose to edit my response in your quote when I accurately quoted yours. Much like Andrew has edited his posts to try to minimize his part in this sordid affair. If you can find a flaw in my actual response to you, please post it. ____________________________________________ "Build a man a fire, and he'll be warm for a day.

Was Chanjuzi closed to hunting on February 10, 2022? I ask because that is the date Andrew offered the hunt on here. Then later in the thread on March 16, 2022 CME posted......
Then on March 25,2022 Fairgame posted......

Jim…you’ve missed the point or perhaps better said asked the wrong question This has been discussed ad nauseam but the question is when they knew or learned of it. And more specifically in relation to when final monies were requested after the initial deposit More specifically the final payment of day rates as the safari drew very near and then adding the father for 20k on top of the 60 Then also in what order were clients told once they knew Then also who was then subsequently refunded and with who’s money and why | |||

On the 10th February 2022 Andrew advertised an offer that was made to him (presumably by the outfitter): "I have been offered a great opportunity for Leopard in a prime area of the Luangwa Valley - Chanjuzi." This was followed by a number of very positive replies (no negative ones) by several well known and highly respected posters. On 17th March 2022 Cme posted: "Andrew introduced me to the outfitter and I’m in the process of finalizing my hunt with the outfitter for 2023. Besides the deal on the Buffalo for an additional hunter the outfitter offers great rates on other animals as well. The outfitter has been very easy to work with an very accommodating". On 25th March 2022 Andrew withdrew: "I am afraid I am going to have to pull out of this one as I am committed elsewhere. However, I have posted another great Leopard deal on the forum". From what can be understood, Andrew put Cme in contact with the outfitter who has in the past produced and delivered the goods in an area known to a number of respected posters and an agent among others, who had nothing but good things to say about the outfitter and the area. Andrew did NOT sell the hunt, as clearly stated by Cme. The way I know it, when a PH or agent sells a hunt on behalf of the outfitter there is either a hike in price or an established/agreed commission between the two who are then known to be the "seller", to whom the full amount is paid to be disbursed accordingly and which, in this saga, appears otherwise. Once more, has Ibi confirmed that he paid a commission of sorts to the alleged"seller"? | |||

No sir…. Andrew represented and Sold the hunt…period. That isn’t a debatable component The formal contacting later and payment were indeed handed off to impanga | |||

Before Andrew edited his posts, it was pretty apparent that the initial funds were received before the closure, but the additional funds were requested after the closure. ____________________________________________ "Build a man a fire, and he'll be warm for a day.

And what has that to do with Andrew? Ibi recall the money, not Andrew! | |||

"Andrew introduced me to the outfitter and I’m in the process of finalizing my hunt with the outfitter for 2023". So according to your logic Andrew is liable (that is what it boils down to) because he introduced Cme to the outfitter. There is also a strong possibility that Cme was further convinced and emboldened by the flowery comments of assurance provided by other respectable gents on the forum to book the hunt directly with the outfitter (Ibi); are they too accomplices? | |||

I get many PM's during the year from AR members asking for boots on the ground advice concerning Alaskan guides, hunting and fishing locations, specific timing of trips, etc. I suppose I should consider stopping that help. ______________________ DRSS ______________________ Hunt Reports 2015 His & Her Leopards with Derek Littleton of Luwire Safaris - http://forums.accuratereloadin...6321043/m/2971090112 2015 Trophy Bull Elephant with CMS http://forums.accuratereloadin...6321043/m/1651069012 DIY Brooks Range Sheep Hunt 2013 - http://forums.accuratereloadin...901038191#9901038191 Zambia June/July 2012 with Andrew Baldry - Royal Kafue http://forums.accuratereloadin...6321043/m/7971064771 Zambia Sept 2010- Muchinga Safaris http://forums.accuratereloadin...6321043/m/4211096141 Namibia Sept 2010 - ARUB Safaris http://forums.accuratereloadin...6321043/m/6781076141 | |||

No sir….i didn’t say that at all. I don’t think Andrew is liable for the money. Neither does CME. You..made an incorrect statement about his “not selling” the hunt. He 100% did By doing so you seem to imply (and again here) that Andrew has zero responsibility… He absolutely does His responsibility that most here believe he has is to do everything he can to help resolve the matter and to help facilitate a refund with the outfitter he represented and sold the hunt for. Also, he has a responsibility to be transparent and answer questions like above about who knew what and when etc… he has not… He even changed and edited his responses Why…I have even seen a text in the last 10 minutes where he is asking CME these questions rather than trying himself….odd don’t you think??? Most of us feel quite bad about this from Andrews side too as he got caught in a mess he had no desire or intent to create or cause… this has been horrible for him too His real dilemma here is his lack of help early on, his deflection and misrepresentation about his role (which you and others now echo for some reason) to not take responsibility of any kind… perhaps the biggest issue of who knew what and when that has NEVER been answered directly….. his hypocrisy in regards to others in the community which triggered this and brought it to light If he had owned this shit and fought for the wronged individual that he DID have a responsibility to (and DOES) this NEVER would have happened | |||
