BCSC panel finds Victoria man and mortgage company illegally distributed securities
(firmenpresse) - VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA -- (Marketwired) -- 04/25/17 -- A British Columbia Securities Commission (BCSC) panel has found that Lance Sandford Cook and CBM Canada's Best Mortgage Corp. illegally distributed securities.
Cook, a Victoria, B.C. resident during the relevant period, was a mortgage broker registered in B.C., and the president and sole director of CBM. CBM was a mortgage broker company registered in B.C. that was dissolved in June 2014 for failing to file annual reports. Cook and CBM have never been registered under the Securities Act, nor have they ever filed a prospectus under the Act.
The panel found that Cook convinced four investors to invest money with him or with CBM in exchange for unsecured interest bearing promissory notes.
The panel made findings against Cook and CBM that they engaged in illegal distributions between June and December 2010:
The panel also found that Cook was liable for CBM's distributions, stating "The evidence is clear that Cook was the controlling mind and management of CBM. He clearly authorized, permitted, or acquiesced to CBM's contraventions."
The panel directed the parties to make submissions on sanctions according to the schedule set out in the findings.
