Expert audio lessons on Canadian criminal law, leading cases, and investigative practice.
This episode explains investment fraud, Ponzi-style schemes, and dishonest business representations. The key distinction is between legitimate business failure and criminal fraud. A failed investment is not automatically a crime, but dishonest representations, misuse of investor money, concealment, fake returns, or intentional exposure of investor funds to risk may support a fraud investigation. Théroux helps distinguish failed business from dishonest conduct. Zlatic helps with dishonest business conduct and other fraudulent means. Olan helps with deprivation and economic prejudice.
