It wouldn't surprise me if Dominic Milotte was crooked too. I'm not sure if he is still working there or not or if that joint AMF/RCMP task force even still exists. The article about the task force was taken off the RCMP website this year
I found the part about Neal Mukherjee's superior, Fabrice Benoît, very interesting.
Fabrice Benoît was the investigation director of insider trading and market manipulation at the AMF from 2008 - 2011 so he would have most definitely been a part of any investigations into Eric Van Nguyen, John Babikian, Tony Papa, and the others.
After Fabrice Benoit left the AMF in 2011 to go back to practicing law in the private sector, Eric Van Nguyen apparently became a client of his. Eric obviously trusted Benoit very much which I think says a lot about what might have been going on while Benoit was still at the AMF. Was Fabrice Benoît also looking out for Eric Van Nguyen's best interests while he was still at the AMF?
How many other influential people at the AMF were a part of protecting Eric and John and the others running stock promotions on penny stocks out of the Montreal area?
I don't think there is any question that individuals with lots of influence at the AMF were working for the crooks instead of against them.
I think there is going to be more coming out about corrupt regulators in Quebec and Ottawa in the future.
