"The International Biographical Centre, Cambridge, has honoured him as ‘one of the noblest of the world’."

The International Biographical Centre is a notorious scam.. you can simply pay a few hundred $ to get your name in the "outstanding intellectuals of the 21st century" [1]

Just because it's in Cambridge doesn't mean it's good.

Thanks for sharing this. It did indeed cross our minds that such a award sounds dubious (just by its title!). We've removed its reference. The other awards he has won are genuine and verified by us.
