Hoax of the week: RCAM / Joseph Chikelue Obi

Well, anyone can call themselves professor, "Eminent Black British Human Rights Crusader" and "Undisputed Doyen of Medical Politics", set up a dodgy organisation, ask for loads of cash and sue the hell out of anyone who openly critises them. Of course, after being banned from practising medicine after, amongst other things, failing to administer blood-thinners to an emergency patient suffering a heart attack, setting up your own society of alternative medicine is the way to go. When said organisation then shows up on a site called the quackometer (obvious function), of course you threaten to sue the ISP, which then takes the site down.
The above is true, it's no hoax (plenty of other blog entries and an overview here at the register), but in my personal opinion the RCAM deserve an entry as "Hoax of the week".
