How could he have heard the rumer of jack recruiting a crew before he was a privateer?That happened months after barbossa was a privateer. Most likely after the pearl shrank into a bottle (thanks to blackbeard) barbossa got captured by king george then asked for his forgivness for being a pirate and told him what happened to him because of the evil pirate blackbeard. King george probably thought that he could use barbossa against blackbeard so he recruited him.
