I have my suspicions about who would have access to such information and forward such information to Saeed. They have a track record of acting with deceit and backbiting. To return to the subject at hand, however, while the suggestions of some as to ways Corey's loss might be mitigated were laudable, did it occur to anyone, why hasn't Baldry taken the initiative on such efforts himself? After all it has been over a year since this all fell apart. Since he played a principal role in relieving Corey of his money, why wouldn't he offer to sell prints and use the proceeds to pay Corey back? Why wouldn't he set up a hunt and offer to use the PH fees paid and any tips received to pay Corey back? Seems like Baldry is perfectly happy to wash his hands of this whole affair after having facilitated it in the first place. And now we have the Baldry cabal trying to impugn the fellow left without the money by throwing unrelated and old and cold information into the conversation. Mike | |||

Hmm, here’s a familiar story: A man files for personal bankruptcy and gets $542,000 in debt discharged in November of 2020. Less than 18 months later he sends $80,000 to an outfitter in Zambia for an all in hunt for him and his father, of which he promptly gets fucked out of. What do you think the people he fucked out of $542,000 would add to this year long goat rope? Here’s another question, one of the pieces of the puzzle I haven’t been able to make fit is how somebody even gets themself in this position. Personally, I work hard for my money and try to be a good steward of it. I am careful who I do business with, I try to hedge my risks by keeping partners invested, insuring where it makes sense, etc.. just sending $80k to someone overseas where I have no leverage blindly seems a ridiculous proposal. But now knowing this, and knowing lots of people who fly a lot closer to the sun than I do, always feeling that they are playing with “house money”, that mystery piece fits nicely in that puzzle. | |||

With current information, perhaps we could get those pulling for Corey’s replacement hunt, pull for collecting cash value and forward it to his creditors? Anyone here been in or know someone who has been in the shit end of a bankruptcy? Had to deal with a judge telling them that they aren’t getting paid and have no recourse? Then seen the guy that fucked them living the life of Riley? Not sure if a thread like this would make it hurt worse or feel like a little justice. What do you think MJines and Dogcat? | |||

Well, back to the real issue here, regardless of this thread, which I think is totally pointless. Ibi did take CME’s money. No question on that. And as far as I am concerned he ALONE is responsible to pay it back. As I mentioned earlier, I got several messages, from different people, who apparently were aware that CME was declared bankrupt. The messages came within days, so I am assuming whoever sent these message know each other?? One specifically mentioned “this is poetic justice” I have no idea what caused him to be declared bankrupt, as I never read the court filings. I am not sure that we know all the details yet!!?? | |||

Let me make this clear since you don’t have a fucking clue about me or the situation. I was 37 when I filed bankruptcy and it was forced because my company was put out of business due to governmental regulation changes. It was a business issue that I personally guaranteed. I offered to keep paying the creditor, which was the bank, and they decided it was easier for them to write said money off as a loss. It was my first business and I had a partner, it ended badly. I was literally broke and started over and built back up. I’m not ashamed, the most successful people that I know filed bankruptcy when they were younger. While situation A doesn’t have anything to do with situation B it does matter how your handle things. Is there anything else you would like to know? If not please resume your shit talking? Just come get all of the facts first. There is no reason to respond to Saeed, he has never lived in the real world. Not all of us as born with a literal gold spoon in our mouth. I have made the offer multiple times for Saeed to reach out,but he has never done so. He sure does like to stir up shit. Why don’t you man up Saeed? Let’s have a phone call…I’m sure you can afford the minutes. | |||

Hey super IDIOT. This is the only communication we have EVER had with you! You asked about a hunt! And I answered you. combo Leopard/Buff hunt. Price isn’t a concern. Can you make a recommendation regarding who I should look at? Registered: 01 October 2017 Reply With QuoteEdit or Delete MessageReport This Private Message IP Saeed posted 31 January 2022 05:41 Hide Post I think you better ask on the forum, as I buffalo are not an issue, you can find one practically anywhere you hunt. But leopards are not. We had several leopards feeding on our baits last year, but we never saw one, despite sitting in the blinds many times. I am almost certain that your best options are Zimbabwe, some places seem to have a very high success ratio. Best of luck. Saeed | |||

Saeed, on April 3rd and April 9th I specifically said in this thread that you can contact me if want all of the correspondence. I said all it takes is a PM. Again, please continue with your rant…don’t let facts stand in the way of your opinions. August 11th is a 3rd date where I offered to let you see everything. I can keep searching for more instances but that is 3 offers made specifically to you in a public manner. | |||

Hmm, sounds like it’s exactly what it looks like Corey. Here’s a question: what story do you think Ibi tells when he speaks of this? Do you think he talks about fucking the careless American that had more money than sense? I doubt it, odds are he tells a story about a government that reissued a concession to him in one breath and took it away in the next after he had booked a season and invested in it. I bet he would talk about how the position he was put in and the fucking you took was completely out of his control. Sound familiar? Here is a fact, in the end, what he did to you is no different than what you did to your creditors. Perhaps, a pot applying some introspection is warranted before calling out another pot for calling the kettle black? | |||

Well boys… this is why we can’t have nice things around here anymore. How many valuable members and contributors have been driven from this site in the last ten years? So you guys have decided to smear someone completely with zero knowledge while defending someone else in the face of a mountain of evidence. It’s sad honestly…. Brad… I do know the facts in relation to this and I can tell you CME was a victim of some bad decisions by others that caused that situation… so you guys being A Holes and smearing someone with no knowledge isn’t a good look (and your wrong) This isn’t the political forum sewer from below. So carry on with unfounded and incorrect smears if you wish but your actually a very smart guy…so I’d probably say I’d drop that one I say this realizing I’ve been an A Hole a couple of times when I shouldn’t have so I’m no angel (usually because I’m being defensive and maybe had a couple of Old Fashions in me) | |||

Gentlemen. Let he who is without fault amongst you cast the first stone. Enough already! Given how small the African hunting community is, there is a fair chances of meeting or even sharing a camp with anyone on this forum. How about just agreeing to differ and moving on to more constructive discussions? This thread just gets nastier and more vindictive. Corey is never going to get his money back from Ibi. Andrew Baldry has no money. Corey would probably never try and hunt with Mr Baldry in Zambia again even if Andrew waived his daily rate to try and give him some form of restitution. All this discussion has achieved is the trashing of fellow hunters reputations so please, let's all move on to more amicable topics! | |||

Why the hell would I wish to contact you in a private message? You did. ONCE! And I answered you. Why don't you post whatever you wanted to tell ME right here so others can see it! You gleefully supported your cheerleaders having a go at Andrew. You have no guts, no character, to go after Ibi. And now you have been shown to be a much worse individual than Ibi ever was, you take the same course as your cheerleaders, and in your instance start accusing me?? Boy oh boy! You REALLY would have been a CHAMPION at a Jerry Springer show! | |||

A worse individual than Ibi because I filed bankruptcy? You are certainly entitled to your opinion. So is it your opinion that everyone that has filed for bankruptcy is a bad individual? You are trying to correlate something that was finalized in 2020 to something that happened 3 years later on a different continent? You rationale really is funny! You may proceed! | |||

Strongly disagree. CME is a hunter. He got lied to and stolen from by an African concession holder and quasi agent. How does that not belong here? The facts came out. We all agree that Ibi is the thief. We do not agree that Baldry acted as his agent and facilitated this theft. Baldry had no known written agreement with Ibi that spells out his role as agent acting on Ibi's behalf. However, his actions indicate he is/was acting as an agent. He did all the things an agent does. Our complete disagreement is about Baldry's culpability AND the handling of refunds to others. All of this noise about bankruptcy, hating America's legal system, hating lawyers, hating America's form of governement, Zambia law vs USA law or Dubai law, what should CME do vs what he has actually done that is unknown on this forum - is all noise and fluff. The goal here - get money back to CME from Ibi and/or Baldry. That happens and this goes away. Forget about Baldry's reputation or character, we see what we see on this thread and others. Forget about CME's business dealings many years ago, irrelevant here. Forget about lawyers and governements and your personal distate for other countries elected officials. In the USA, we can correct it every 2 to 4 years. Others cannot. It is not relevant here. So, for me, I will keep posting and keep this on the front page for all to see and chirp about. But remember why this thread is here - our complete disagreement on Baldry's culpability and how the refunds were handled. | |||

You have consistently stated fraud and that I was an agent of a financial conspiracy. This is a fabrication that you and others have entertained. I am not comfortable with the recent developments of this thread as it has little relevance to Corey's predicament in Zambia. You made a statement that you do not tolerate thieves. I am not a thief and never have been. I personally paid back deposits for Royal Kafue and still have a couple to go and will commit to my debts when I have spare money. Mjines my last artworks have gone to the Longoria Hosmer charity in support of conservation. I support families of deceased or wounded Professional Hunters such as Stu Taylor and Phillip. I bet I have contributed far more than your cheerleaders ever have. And you lot dare to call me a liar and a thief.

Again, you are tossing smoke grenades... In the USA, bankruptcy is part of the business world. Sometimes things go bad due to no fault of the business owner. I do not know the details, nor care to as that has NOTHING to do with this mess. Stay on task. It is not that hard... | |||

So things can go bad in a business deal it seems. I guess cme is lucky his creditors did not decide on trashing him and let him start over. Shame it takes some law to make people think a bad business deal is ok one way but others should be drug threw the mud helping no one | |||

not our host but have a look here: https://u.ae/en/information-an...ae-law-on-bankruptcy to sum up from there: The law does not apply to natural individuals. It applies to: companies governed by the Commercial Companies Law any natural person having the capacity of a trader licensed civil companies carrying out professional activities. | |||

Wouldn't the same criteria be applicable anywhere else in the world, assuming the term "bankruptcy" is valid overseas and not just limited to the USA? Cme filed bankruptcy because his business went up shit creek through no fault of his and the legal system covered his ass from being taken to task by his creditors. Cme later bounced back financially and being a man bound by christian morals and principles, is to be assumed he made good with his creditors and was still able to pursue his favorite hobby and splash 80k on an extravagant African hunt. While not being a fan of Ibi (I don't know the man from a bar of soap) I still deem his actions to have been suspiciously crooked but the same criteria could be applicable to anyone who declares bankruptcy as a way to get out of a financial mess legally. Did Cme have a personal financial reserve? ... most likely but not related to the business so under no obligation to break the piggy bank. Did Ibi have a personal financial reserve? ... also most likely. Was it Ibi's intention to screw Cme? .. I don't think so as it stemmed from a totally unexpected result of a Government decision in denying him the rights to a concession he had been using without having screwed anyone in the past and a concession that Baldry and others were channeling hunts through. Baldry may have heard of something not being right but must have been reassured by Ibi that all would would be well as is the African norm when a squabble over concessions comes into play. | |||

No. Quite a few foreign individuals - those are normally who come here and try to make a quick buck - are still in jail. Banks are very strict, and always demand their money back. What CME has stated would not work here. "...The most successful people he knows filed bankruptcy when younger. Holy shit, I think Trump is on AR Saeed!!..." All of these "successful" people would be rotting in jail! ![]() | |||

. . . somebody’s crook meter needs recalibration. Hopefully they don’t rely on their crook meter to book their own hunts or they might find themselves out $80K. Although maybe the crook meter data is simply showing that with two crooks in Zambia, the reading is a solid 100%. Mike | |||
