CTV is reporting that "A British Columbia member of the Hells Angels is fighting his extradition to the United States to answer to charges of fraud, conspiracy and money laundering brought by the U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York.
Courtney Vasseur is one of 10 suspects U.S. federal prosecutors charged with the crimes in April 2021."
"Curtis Lehner, another B.C. man among the accused, is also fighting extradition.
'Through their pump-and-dump schemes, Lehner, Vasseur ... and their co-conspirators generated at least approximately $35 million in proceeds from the sale of the shares they secretly controlled,' the U.S. attorney says in the indictment."

BC Hell's Angles have been involved in stock fraud for decades. See "Vancouver Stock Exchange".
ReplyDeleteYeah the Vancouver Stock Exchange was famous for pump and dump fake stocks. That's why it was shut down. I'm not sure we can blame that entirely on the Hells Angels. I think they just hopped on for the ride along with many others.
