A Quebec court this week ruled that the 45-year-old king of Yuan was given a three-year suspended sentence and suspended sentence on several gambling-related fraud charges. She was reportedly involved in a series of schemes at several gambling houses in Ontario and Quebec , including the Niagara Fallsview Casino Resort.
Tthe Niagara Investigation Unit of Ontario's Bureau of Police Investigation and Enforcement, a member of the Ontario Alcohol and Gaming Commission, conducted an investigation after a number of fraud and fraud attempts were found at gaming facilities in Ontario and Quebec. This was similar to previous incidents in Alberta and BC
His attempts at fraud included a casino sponsor sending a copy of a bank note from the National Bank of Canada to one of the casinos. The property checks the bill, and then the person posing as a bank clerk will confirm that the document is genuine. These funds will then be deposited and the individual will be withdrawn from the casino with chips and cash.
The gaming facility later found out that the bills were fake, but by then the money would have been gone a long time ago. In August 2018, Wang submitted a digital copy of the bank note to casino rock - remi in Quebec for an amount of C$500,000. Then she started withdrawing funds from the casino. She was arrested with Dodd Slosh of Brampton.
Judge Rosemary Millar said Wang's sentence should be similar to those sentenced to similar offenders. She explained that the court believed a suspended sentence would be a suitable sentence. The judge paid attention to the sentence that matched the sentence received by the co-defendant and another fraudster, along with the individualized sentence according to the defendant's situation.
Lawyer Leonardo Rossomano said his client lost nearly three million Canadian dollars gambling over five years and her addiction greatly affected her life. This woman was not allowed in Ontario casinos because she had previously participated in a self - exclusion program, which led to her going to Quebec. She was ordered to reimburse the casino for 125,000 Canadian dollars.
Ontario Casino Handles Over C$372M In Shady Deal
In May 2023, a report found that more than $372 million in suspicious transactions were made across the properties of the Ontario Games. One such transaction includes a case in which Branavan Kanapathipillai made a transaction of more than $4 million over the years. He bought a large amount of cash at Pickering Casino Resort , which was reported by employees.
However, the news raised concerns in the province. Former RCMP investigator Carl Krusty, who was involved in money laundering and transnational investigations, shared expertise in the matter. His guess is that large sums of cash were illegally acquired in many cases.
