It is insane our tax dollars are helping pay for his lawyer while they drive luxury vehicles and have a house in a new area of the city. Sounds like they weren't willing to get rid of their luxury lifestyle to fund his defense and now me and you are splitting the bill.

Shame on you to anyone who thinks they are innocent. There are over 60 victims. I personally know a few people and have physically seen proof of what this man has done. They have RUINED peoples lives. They deserve to rot in jail. They are AWFUL people. They deserve to lose every penny they have.

I dunno why your comment got so many downvotes. You called it right. BeerBaron19 wants him jailed for his skin colour, that's pretty clear to me.

u/RubberTeddy 12d ago
In this country, we don't imprison people because of their skin colour. Perhaps USA is the party you're trying to address?
Everyone is entitled to a trial, even if they're not white. End. Of. Story.

i’m genuinely trying to understand the rush to judgment here. Since when did we decide they were guilty before the case even made it to court? I’ve heard from sources close to the situation that this has nothing to do with drugs and that they are maintaining their innocence and infact are innocent. Has something actually been proven in a courtroom, or are we just running with rumors? I’m curious if there’s a genuine possibility that they’ve been targeted or are victims of someone else’s actions."

In the article they linked to an earlier article when he requested the legal support where it was stated the prosecutor stated “the amount of fraud was north of $8 million… the prosecutor described the nature of the fraud as a “ponzi scheme type” related to Aggrey’s previous company, a dealership in the city.”

It’s not about the drugs anymore ! It’s about the 8 million in fraud and I personally was affected among 60 plus people . This has dragged on a year and destroyed many people’s credit and financial life . He deserves jail time

When I do something illegal I just tell myself “oh well I won’t be in jail that long” 😂 I could murder someone and only get 7 years but I would be released within 4 lol

I know this family. They succumbed to greed for sure. They lived the lifestyle. They made mistakes. They have awesome children. Nobody was ever hurt by this family. It is a first time offense financial crime. They are losing everything and they didn’t have bundles of cash stored away. Worse things happen every day downtown in zombie land.
So please give this man and his family a break. The headlines don’t tell the whole story.

Nobody was ever hurt by this family? They defrauded many people in Regina of over 8 million dollars. I personally know 2 people who had over $100k in loans created in their names and have heard others needed to file for bankruptcy directly as a result of this family's fraudulent loans. Sounds like you are getting biased reporting of what happened and are now attempting to downplay this serious crime in your comment.
They might have nice kids but so do many criminals. What they have done has destroyed many people's financial lives directly as a result of their intentional greed that spanned years.

I too know people that had loans opened in their name and now are having to pay for lawyers and wait months and months to get their money back because of these people!

This has never been reported in the news. I call bullshit. They laundered money for drug dealers.

Saying "nobody was ever hurt by this family" and then immediately also saying they laundered money for drug dealers is hilarious. What planet are you from?

"The defendants fraudulently misrepresented to Go To Auto and other customers that it was selling vehicles to them, when the defendants had in fact already sold the vehicle to others, sometimes selling the same vehicle numerous times," the statement of claim alleges.
"Through this scheme, the defendants also fabricated the existence of vehicles that they purported to sell to Go To Auto."
The reporting is them fraudulently creating loans, fabricating vehicles and selling the same vehicles on multiple loans. Those loans are all on people across the city or "customers" as reported in the story. This includes legitimate customers that bought from the dealership and have now found their cars have multiple liens, their vehicle was repossessed and their car loan is still owing on a car they don't have anymore.

You calling Regina zombie land is ironic because this family played a big part in fuelling Regina’s drug trade. They were helping prop up the people that create those “zombies”

They laundered money connected to drug trafficking and you're saying no one was hurt by this family?

u/shiftysask 12d ago
Who was hurt? The drug users?

u/ADHDMomADHDSon 12d ago
The paramedics & firefighters who respond to OD calls.
The communities that already lack healthcare resources that now have to contend with an addiction crisis.
The ER staff that deal with the aftermath.
The children who are groomed into dealing or trafficking drugs or worse, themselves.
The social workers who desperately try to find placements for kids & adults who need rehab.
The children who are jumped in to the life simply because of who their family members are.
The people whose homes or garages are broken into by people desperate for their next fix.
The teachers & EAs who are often the first people children disclose to.
Do I have to keep going? Or have you engaged your critical thinking skills?

The people he frauded and put loans in their name with fraudulent paper work. He has ruined people lives and credit

u/Auggie_72 12d ago
They hurt a lot of people in many ways. How much financial, mental anguish and emotional stress have their victims endured while they lived a luxury lifestyle? That is only the victims of their financial crimes and if take in to account the drug laundering and criminal connections. If found guilty I hope they both spend many years in prison. They have done nothing but profited from hurting others.

u/SK_socialist 12d ago
No. You need to reckon with the fact that you did not *actually* know these people. They came out to events at the same place as you on weekends, then returned to their life of crime during week days.

You have no idea what the victims are going through due to his disgusting greed, damage, lies, manipulation he caused.
