The claimant's testimony was not credible or sufficiently corroborated, was speculative, contained material inconsistencies and omissions, and was undermined by unreasonable delay despite access to substantial funds; therefore he failed to establish a well-founded fear of persecution or a risk under s.97 IRPA and is neither a Convention refugee nor a person in need of protection.
