Four Halton residents charged in $16 million investment scheme
Two
Burlington residents are among four people charged in an investment scam that allegedly bilked about 150 people, including
Halton residents, out of $8 million.
Halton Regional Police, with the assistance of the Ontario Securities Commission (OSC), says it recently completed an 18-month investigation into several companies:
North American Carrier Services,
Hillcorp International Services,
Hillcorp Wealth Management,
Suncorp Holdings (no relation to Suncor Energy),
Exxon Holdings (no relation to Exxon Mobil)
Petro Properties (no relation to Petro Holdings).
“Approximately 150 investors were led to believe that these investments were poised to generate large profits over a short period of time,” states a Halton police press release.
“They were of every age and every walk of life,” Mallinson said of investors, whom she said were from all over southern Ontario with a number from Halton, including Burlington.

The detective said it doesn’t appear share certificates were issued to investors
but rather letters sent to them indicating the amount of their investment and the expected monetary return.
-------------------> AG's destroyed mailbox?
-.-.-.-
No idea, when exactly, but long ago I've already mentioned these (old) news when other WS members spoke of the possibility of investment fraud in connection with AG's murder.
Don't know to explain without accusing a person. Perhaps like that: One of the 4 charged persons (now only found the names behind paywall) has an identical name (S. H.) with a relative ("related by marriage") of AG's very best old friend - hugs from her - who cared of Schatze and Togi (ie with "vitamines" shortly before the murder). Look at the obituary. Maybe a coincidence re the names?
Maybe there is a connection between an
insider who very well knew AG's habits and a "professionally"
fraudster, maybe another connection to a sort of
contact man/middleman.
IF Audrey noticed a big fraud on herself, then she would have been a danger to one, two or three involved, I imagine. She would not have kept her mouth shut, right so. Maybe she threatened one person with a report to police or similar, maybe another of the involved got in rage, maybe someone staged the crime scene (sex assault). Trail of thoughts: If the fraudster himself didn't know all important infos (habits, home, code, times, dogs, data on computer, etc.), then another person must have been involved (and had some profit).
I'm not a good sleuther; perhaps a fellow sleuther wants to search the possible connections? I will try also, but I've little hope.
