New charges approved against Vancouver man following BCSC investigation


VANCOUVER, Dec. 18, 2018 /CNW/ - A Vancouver man who was recently arrested in Toronto has been charged with additional offences under the B.C. Securities Act.

Won Sang Shen "Craig" Cho is facing new charges of breaching an order of the British Columbia Securities Commission (BCSC), trading in securities without registration, failing to file a prospectus, and making misrepresentations, as described in Vancouver court file #253461-1.

Cho was arrested November 20 near downtown Toronto, following a joint effort by the BCSC's Criminal Investigations Branch, the Ontario Securities Commission's Joint Serious Offences Team and the Toronto Police Service. He was transported back to Vancouver, where he is being held in custody pending a bail hearing.

Cho had been awaiting trial earlier this year on 13 offences resulting from an investigation by the BCSC's Criminal Investigations Branch. A warrant for his arrest was issued when he failed to attend for his trial in October. His next appearance on all charges is set for January 25.
