From an Embassy perspective, the wife and children cannot be held ransom for the husband/father's actions and the Visa proposal would not apply.
But for Ibi it can and it would prevent him from entering the States and would not be able to attend his son's graduation ceremony.
On the other hand, should he be granted a Visa and if charges were to be filed against him in America, he could get sidelined at the Immigration counter and be served an arrest warrant.

I am told the wife/mother is an officer of the company in question. I would think that makes her subject to any sanctions. For example, not being able to visit her son. Not being able to visit the US for any reason.

If the wife/mother is/are officially connected with the company they would indeed inherit the company liabilities and be subjected to Visa sanctions.

HasherI am betting that CME hasn’t received another cent since the 1st payment.
Second I love the fact that you could hem him and momma up with international travel.
After he was detained and served could you get the court to hold him until trial???

larryshoresNo, he has not received any more reimbursement. In fact , Ibi is now threatening CME.
The issue of visas to the US is being worked on. Of course , that requires help from the Embassy.
This money was wired to Ibi. That might make this wire fraud which is a felony in the US. US law enforcement might just find out about this. That might make Ibi and/or his wife’s next attempt to travel to the US a real adventure.

CME should write to SCI, DSC, and every professional hunter organization in Africa, look on the Net for any place Ibi is present, and post details of this, including his threats!
It is worth going personally to the Embassy of that country and see someone in charge.
It might be a good idea to notify some media agencies as well, so all of this is made public!
So it is not enough for Ibi to be a crook and take someone's money, he has the audacity of threatening the client too!?
If this is true, all bets are off!

larryshoresIt appears that the noose might be tightening a bit .
One thing I can say with certainty. If those involved think this is going away easily by just waiting it out, they are wrong .

No offense but you almost have to be joking
Yes….of course.
Next contract thought after the above is…well he needs to honor the contract
Right….
Next thought is well he didn’t honor the contract…
Right….
Next thought is under contract law….
Fraud in the Inducement or whichever proper component….
No shit….
Larry is our reigning CPA probably and when he was a young man (having fun Larry..forgive me) 30% of the CPA exam was contract law (it was for me in the early 90s)
Our other lawyer friends here can opine on Contract law of course
This comes down simply to enforcement…
And oh by the way… Andrew did FUCK ALL to help with enforcement and aid (despite his role) and has now led to the since longest thread I can remember in 20 years in AR history
Congratulations

I'm a casual observer here - should I recuse myself because I'm not a lawyer or CPA? If so, let me know..
just curious whose names are on the contract is all - do you know? have you seen the contract? Can you post it? I mean, all the other dirty laundry is aired - why not everything?
20 April 2024, 07:50
SaeedNo idea why some are asking about a contract!
Totally pointless, as there is no denying the client paid in advance for a hunt that never happened.
Ii does not deny getting the money, and although this fiasco is NOT his fault - it squarely rests on the government!
HE took the money without making sure that all legal matters with the government are taken care of.
So he is responsible for paying it back.
End of story.
And if he is actually threatening the client, for whatever reason, he deserves whatever he gets!
I have absolutely, positively, no time for crooks!

All he needs do is pay back the money he has taken.
And all this will end.

505 gibbsIf Ibi isn’t ready to refund, I would be encouraging him to file the threatened lawsuit. The only thing more advantageous to Corey than going into a lawsuit as a defendant in this case would be receiving the funds without this hassle

HasherIbi should be destroyed by any and all means fair and foul.
A sweeping internet campaign against him globally would ensure no more clients ever. Just lay it all out on every forum and in every language.
Fil against him in every jurisdiction possible so that when he he or his try to enter the US they are held.
Probably isn’t that hard for him to find his way on the No Fly and Terror Watch Lists.
Either take action or don’t but talking to to seats is now twenty pages.
Personally I find the Marcellus Wallace option attractive.

MJinesMy sense is that Ibi’s clientele are not retail customers. Ibi seems to market and sell primarily or exclusively to outfitters. So long as there are outfitters in Zambia willing to do business with him based on the areas he operates, he will be fine. Andrew said early on in this mess when asked about whether he would continue to deal with Ibi after this situation that he absolutely would. Perhaps that explains why he was so reluctant to play hardball with Ibi initially.

LHeym500The most damning statement is that Fairgame would continue to do business with Ibi.
Rule from earlier:
Stay away from Zambia.

I doubt it occurred to him to avoid Ibi. To me, if Ibi did not repay the stolen deposit, how would Baldry ever expect to get paid down the road for other hunts??? Unless of course... (conspiracy theorist take over here)

Saved from several pages back. Didn't want to give Andrew an opportunity to edit his prior posts again. When asked if he plans to cut ties with Ibi, this was his answer:

Be it Zambia, Zimbabwe or Tanzania, a concession -holder does not necessarily have to market hunts individually other than and more often so, either sub-lease the area to an outfitter or provide outfitting services and charge per hunting days.
If the area is productive, a respectable PH will jump on it and market the hunt under his name, charge what HE wants and settles privately with the outfitter.
At this point who really cares about the identity of the concession-holder, be it Ibi or some other, when business is being conducted with the PH?
Andrew will have done as much as he could (within limits) as Cme was NOT his client but someone to whom he had recommended Ibi as having an excellent concession and with whom he had expected to be the guide on that hunt (remunerated as PH by Ibi).
The deal went up shit creek but not of Andrew's doing.
21 April 2024, 01:51
505 gibbsI don’t see anything above (or at the link) where Andrew says he is hunting or doing business again with Ibi? I see other posters behaving like little bitches demanding a man say something and him refusing to be pigeonholed. Cant say that I blame him, nothing good will come of it.
21 April 2024, 01:58
the PomI'm beginning to get the feeling that those living in palatial homes in Texas where the Rule of Law prevails have any conception of what it is like to try and live and do business in a situation where, to put it politely, the law is rather more flexible.
If you are keen to find out what it feels like try going and living just South of the border for a while.
I see that poor old Corey is now being threatened. If that is the case, what pressures do you imagine are being applied to Andrew Baldry to not critisise Ibi in any way?
Mr Baldry and his family have to live there and it is not the first time their lives have been threatened.
Ibi and his lawyer wife may have less influence on the present government than they had with the last one but they are still powerful people.
Andrew Baldry has asked Ibi nicely to do the right thing but he hasn't survived all these years in Zambia by upsetting the wrong people.

Ibi has no GMA so there would be no reason for Andrew to do business with him.

I think Ibi has well and truly destroyed his reputation, all by himself!
The sooner he pays pack what he has taken, and APOLOGIZE. some repair might happen.
And by threatening the client he has not done himself any favors either!
