Canada the land of money laundering

I'm glad they did. He must be a crook.

One greedy mofo got busted

He became tycoon by scamming people...

Not a Canadian

He should have never went back to China. Canada would have given him a one year sentence.

Where is he?

Canada needs to stay out of it.

I heard Canada is planning to visit Taiwan soon. I wonder if they are related.

He disappeared in HK, a Chinese city. That’s always a risk, for people of whatever citizenship.

what country was this born in and what country does he have citizenship in?

“china does not recognize dual citizenship” except when its convenient like Eileen Gu

Oh well.😎😎😎

And Canada has no issue or any question when such illicit money is transferred to Canada using offshore companies without the visibility of beneficiary owner
