This thread appears to be turning into a witch hunt! Whilst I have no personnel knowledge of this individual or his organisation and so cannot comment on any of these allegations (they do sound serious), it must be remembered that he is a member of the IFA (all be it at a lowly level). If there are any validity to these rumours should it not be placed before the IFA to investigation and action? By engaging upon web based comments one is coming very close to slandering the poor individual and causing irreputable damage to his business (leaving poor old mr. hosty open to a heafty law suit for damages.
Not so long ago comments were made on this very website about a plethora of companies. One, particularly aggressive company came on line with a lengthy and nasty letter threatening legal action (although i doubt whether they would have had the wherewithall to fund a libel suit). Despite the fact that countless individuals supported the statements (and the company is reknowed for their practises) BAJR backed down. They are not even members of the IFA.
Could it be a case of closing ranks to prevent new organisations into the profession??
Come on, are we professionals? don't sling mud apart from in the trench.
