    Noting the testimonial letters received by IBA, re-visiting PappaRat's link, I couldn't help notice the one from the "other IBA" - International Bank of Asia.

    According to Wike, it's now the Fubon Bank (Hong Kong) and is clearly not in the top echelon ... [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fubon_Bank_(Hong_Kong)[/url]
    September 6, 2005 - Standard and Poor’s upgraded the Bank’s credit ratings from long term BBB and short term A3 to BBB+ and A2 respectively.
    I'd guess his lead-line was that they had the same initials
    Keep grabbing the 3rd rate customers, Jim.
    Shame none of those great citations are dated.

    Some details of the IBA Malta course in December. I guess this can't have anything to do with Kevin Chircop (Malta) who is on the IBA list of revoked members:

    Signal 8 Security Services Malta Ltd
    Fuck it.

    Oh dear.
    I wonder whether Jim will take legal action against Mr Chircopop?
    I note that Jimbo is intending to teach Paramedicine for Bodyguards [elastoplast supplied].

    We rely on our "Man in Malta" to follow this up in detail.

    Mark Yates third on that revoked list is, as rockape34 pointed out, dodgy to say the least.

    http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/uknews/1360750/The-British-security-expert-who-faces-questions-on-'links-to-al-Qaeda-training'.html

    Has Jimbo actually got some standards

    Then again, "Al Qaeda consultant" to the "Ultimate Jihad Challange" is probably pushing it a bit even for him.

    Also worrying ..

    I do think that it's high time that James Shortt & the IBA were to furnish a full list of EVERY pupil who has paid for training & the membership list of the IBA. They should provide it to the Home Office in the UK & the Department of Foreign Affairs in Ireland on St Stephens Green in Dublin.

    We all know that Jimbo as ex PARA & SAS is above board. However it would be useful as part of National Security for Jimbo to provide the lists.

    Of course as an active member of the International Association of Chief Police Officers I am sure that Jimbo has discussed it with the Chief Con of the Garda Fachtna Murphy who he must have met quite a bit.

    (The boys in Kevin Street just sent me a text Jimbo)

    few names may ring a bell or 2 like Noel Whelan?
    Oh no, my name is there, does that mean Im not a bodyguard any more ?? will go and sulk now..

    well actually its been on there for a long time, and i took the references to IBA off my CV long ago, for fear of embarassment !!!!

    Jimbo does not like being questioned about IBA funds, and members voting rights, never mind his army number and experience...

    Quiet so. In these troubled times I suspect that the IBAs para military promotonal videos and questionable vetting procedures might attract more than the odd walt or doorman on an ego trip. :(
