Like - why would this guy run?

Posted by Roger More (aka RogerMore) Jun 26 '23, 07:57

Biography: Edward Gong is a Toronto businessman. Gong first appeared in the news in 2016 when he and others were photographed with Justin Trudeau at a controversial cash-for-access fundraiser. In 2017, he was hit with multiple charges, including fraud and possession of property obtained by crime. According to 2023 tribunal documents, Gong’s company pled guilty to pyramid scheme and forged document offences. Charges against Gong were withdrawn, but the Ontario Securities Commission is pursuing further action in matters related to the charges. In 2021, the New Zealand Police announced a settlement that would see Gong forfeit roughly $68 million to their government after a money laundering investigation. Police said the funds were profits from a pyramid scheme in China and Canada that were transferred to New Zealand to conceal its source.
