Mount Everest News went on: ‘A spokesperson for IGO 8000 (the organisation at the cutting edge of Himalayan professionalism and safety) recently stated to ExplorersWeb: "Henry Todd left IGO 8000 voluntarily to not tarnish our name while he is involved in a possible court case with a previous (dead) client’s family. Afterwards, if he wants to come back, as long as nothing undue has come to light, he will be welcomed back." IGO 8000 is  a (self appointed) recommending association for Everest commercial expedition leaders. See – IGO 8000 on this site. Interestingly, George Band ex-BMC President and member of the original first ascent of Everest team (1953) stated in the April 2003 edition of Trail magazine: ‘Much of what goes on on Mount Everest these days has got nothing to do with – mountaineering.’
