Here is a story about Raoul Malak, the Emu's brother. The story is about Raoul, but I'm posting it because it tells how the emu hired him to run his hotel nightclub and run the whole thing into the ground. Thus it shows the business acumen of the emu & the kind of decisions he is capable of making in a business that serves the public. The result of the emu hiring his brother in this capacity is the hotel was run into the ground & into bankruptcy.

In the picture: Raoul Malak owner of Ansan Traffic Group
The Early Years:
The following is the story of Raoul Malak the owner of the Ansan Traffic Group which includes Ansan Traffic Control, Lane Tec, BC Traffic Systems, Flag Girls and Alliance Traffic. This should serve as a precaution to anyone that has any business or personal dealings with him.
Stop 1: United Kingdom
Malak grew up in a Cairo slum very similar to the ones pictured here (according to him).
With no prospects after not graduating high school in 1973 he decided to go visit his brother Emil (read this) who was living in the UK. Upon arriving there he decided to stay as an illegal and supported himself by doing odd jobs in restaurants mostly dishwashing as he had almost zero command of the English language and thus could not deal with the public. After a few years his command of the English language had improved significantly and he managed to get a work permit. This made him eligible to apply for and land hotel concierge type jobs. This was the late 70’s and oil rich Arabs had started to flock to London en masse. It became the destination for the women to shop and the men to chase everything that was not available in their own countries. As a good concierge he became adept at arranging rendez vous with prostitutes for the hotels’ guests. The sheiks and princes had money to burn quicker than their oil wells could spew out and he made a killing from both sides, the working girls and the johns.
Education:
Malak likes to lie and tell fairy tales that during his time in the UK he obtained an under graduate degree and a masters degree in business. This is patently false. I challenge him to produce any record of post high school education. Anyone that has been to his office will notice that the only thing he has hanging on his office wall is his letter of appointment to the parole board. This is an appointment that the party in power uses to reward those who have donated significant amounts to get them there. Call it a loyalty program similar to the senate. I will cover the parole board fiasco in a later section. Believe me this is an intriguing epic story of corruption, bribery and money laundering that few can parallel.
Stop 2: Canada
After almost a decade of being the middle man (aka pimp) and several firings as a result of his activities he was no longer able to secure employment at any of the higher end London hotels where he could ply his wares to the rich sheiks. He was also not about go back to honest work because there is no way that it could finance his new lifestyle. By now it was the late 80s, his brother had left the United Kingdom and moved to Vancouver, Canada and had secured financing to be able to acquire the Granville Island Hotel through a highly leveraged deal.
Being the opportunistic parasite that he is, he saw an opportunity to set up his old activity but this time in Canada. He begged and pleaded with his brother and was given an opportunity to be involved.
He was given the responsibility of running the Pelican Bay night club (read this) at the hotel, this place was the who’s who of Vancouver gangsters, criminals and mid level prostitutes who offered themselves in the dilapidated rooms upstairs. Note even the new owners who were not associated with him claim this in their website. It quickly became apparent that running the prostitutes out of the hotel was not going to generate enough because this was not the high class hotel environment that he previously operated in and there were no oil sheiks to con.
By the early 90’s he had devised a scheme with the help of some of his Vietnamese and Indo Canadian gangster Pelican Bay customers’ to run a loan sharking operation. He was to provide the front and enable them to do business from “his” place of business and they were to provide the muscle needed for collections. This certainly did not do much for the reputation of the establishment. The trash attracted more trash, the violence in and around the establishment exploded and they couldn’t rent a room in that hotel to anyone who wasn’t a whore, a weekend binge cocaine user or someone too drunk to get home.
By 1996 the hotel became a ghost town and consequently became bankrupt, largely to Raoul Malak’s criminal activities. It would appear that Canada was turning out no better than the UK.
During the Pelican Bay years Raoul Malak had made several shady connections, the most prominent was an alleged cocaine trafficker and convicted money launderer Martin Chambers. Chambers had a history of trouble: In 1981, for instance, he was charged for his role in a conspiracy to import a kilo of cocaine from Miami to Vanocuver. He was convicted to quit practising law (he was never disbarred per se).
According to Cpl. Bill Majcher of the Vancouver RCMP Integrated Proceeds of Crime Unit that helped snare Chambers with the FBI “We got this guy,” Majcher said breathlessly, forgetting the conversation was being recorded. “This guy is involved in more murders, and he is the No. 1 target in all of Western Canada, the most horrific–even the criminals call him Lex Luthor. He’s a criminal genius.” (read this) Chambers had never been charged, let alone convicted, of murder or even attempted murder, but he was well acquainted with several people who had met untimely and violent deaths. And he liked to brag about his ability to hurt people who didn’t play by his rules.
Chambers was also involved as a borrower and facilitator for Eron Mortgage Corp., a Vancouver mortgage-brokerage firm that raised more than $200 million from BC investors in the mid-1990s. The funds were reinvested in a variety of projects, most of which were money losers. President Brian Slobogian and vice-president Frank Biller took millions of dollars in fees and diverted large amounts of money for personal purposes, according to evidence at a BC Securities Commission hearing. The firm dissolved into a kind of Ponzi scheme and, in October 1997, BC regulators shut it down. Don’t forget the name of Brian Slobogian because his name will come up later as the Controller of Ansan.
As Raoul’s relationship with Chambers continued to flourish in the following years, Raoul managed to get involved with the owner of Fins Restaurant and convinced him that as a former hotelier he would make his business boom. The man needed some help as he was beyond his depth in the restaurant business and Raoul was able to con him into giving him the reigns of the restaurant in the capacity of manager. Again this would last for just over a year and Malak is fired amidst allegations of fraud, embezzlement and squandering of the company’s money.
Between 1998 and 2002 Malak was unemployable. With no education and a track record of one failure after the other it became clear to anyone with any sense that he was to be avoided at all costs except of course Martin Chambers. Shit birds of a feather flock together. Martin wanted to keep Malak handy because he knew he would one day become useful to him and that day that was coming quicker than either of them had anticipated. During that time Martin had put Raoul on a stipend, paid his rent and generally covered most of his expenses.
In 2003 as Chambers was about to be convicted of money laundering in Florida he finally managed to put Malak to good use. The plan was to buy a fledgling business and have Malak run it using Chambers’ money. But first he needed a cover story for where all the money came from since at the time he was living in a tiny shared dilapidated teardown house. This is when he started prowling Asian dating sites looking for an Asian woman he can “import” to Canada and claim she had family money so he can give the appearance that his new found wealth was hers. He did bring a young (19 year old) Korean lady and they have habituated together since then. It was clearly an arrangement that would benefit both of them. She would take advantage of the financial security he provided and he the appearance of stability and success from an almost 30 years younger teenage wife.
The company in question was Ansan Traffic. Using the proceeds to hide Chambers money and make it all look like a legitimate business. In the meantime they would buy out the competition using outside cash and in the meantime create a monopoly in that particular industry.
He has so far been able to acquire DC Traffic, Lane Tech, Flaggirls and has come to be the dominant player in that industry through a never ending stream of cash (thanks to his benefactor)
In 2004 Malak was appointed to the national parole board (read this).
In 2006 Brian Slobogian the convicted Eron Morgage Corp fraudster and Martin Chambers close associate who fleeced thousands of people of $250 million was granted parole (read this) after serving 1 year of a 6 year sentence by the National Parole Board. Strange coincidence one would think. Could be, but he was shortly hired by Raoul Malak in the capacity of bookkeeper for Ansan. Strange you ask? Given that the last time Slobogian kept books he ended up committing a fraud to the tune of a quarter billion dollars we would have to agree. This was the equivalent of allowing a convicted child molester to babysit your children, but Slobogian was a close associate of Malak’s master Chambers and that was whom he trusted to keep an eye on Malak.
Current Business Practices:
There are several unsubstantiated rumours that he is involved in kickback schemes to several purchasing agents who have colluded with him to ensure that he receives preferential treatment in the bid process and have extended some contracts almost indefinitely once he has secured the tender process with their help.
This combined with several union enablements have allowed him the ability to establish a near monopoly in the province of British Columbia, Canada.
