A Canadian citizen was apprehended for allegedly taking 33 billion won ($27.8 million) from Koreans living in Canada through fraudulent investment deals, police said Thursday.
Police said they arrested the Korean-turned-Canadian suspect in Seoul. According to police, the suspect, identified by his surname Kim, established an investment agency in Vancouver and raised funds amounting to nearly $27.8 million from 200 Koreans living there.
Victims testified that Kim was well known there for his money-making funds management.
Police plan to widen the investigation because they’ve been notified that there are more victims.
“Some say the total amount of money taken is over 70 billion won,” a police officer said. “We are teaming up with Canadian police to find whether there are hidden and borrowed-name bank accounts of him.”

Nope, the Ajamma did not show. What a wimp. Big mouth, no balls. All cowards are like that, and with internet forums scum like Miss Davida Thiessen can post like she was a man. Her day is coming, and right soon.

However, Thiessen, this puts more on the agenda for tomorrows meeting. I have checked into the Hilton, and will be waiting for you on the sidewalk outside of the Millennium Seoul Hilton. There is a Starbucks down the hill about 300 meters. You can waddle down and then you will have the opportunity so say all of these things to my face. Being a real man, as you claim to be, I am sure that you will show and take advantage of this opportunity.

You, assholologist, are not upset because the racist and bigoted KT made the guy look like he was not Korean. We all read you well, you are very obtuse and easy to figure out with your hatred and jealousy. This article is pathetic. The guy was living in Seoul, born in Korea, he is about as Canadian as Davie Thiessen is sane.
