I don't believe it. Just because Edwards is the likely main conspirator, that doesn't mean UC wasn't in on it from the beginning. All the evidence points that way.

But unless you have met or spoken to Urban Casavant, you wouldn't be aware that he's not mastermind material for this complex of a fraud.

Well, the Petro Plus story certainly suggested that he wasn't the brightest bulb in the chandelier.

Early on, I thought Dhonau was the "mastermind". We didn't even know about Edwards until after the revocation hearing. He did a good job of keeping out of the limelight.

A lot of people here are under the impression that they have everything figured out about this scam. But unless you have met or spoken to Urban Casavant, you wouldn't be aware that he's not mastermind material for this complex of a fraud

Nobody here believes Urban is a Mensa member, or a mastermind. It is quite clear what Urban's role was, the front man, carnival barker that lured investors in with the charm of an old fashion snake oil salesman. His performance was so convincing that he amassed a cult following that now believes he is a victim of "the system" just like they are. Even though he helped rob them blind.

CMKX, his past with Petro Plus and dealings with other know scammers is enough for the SEC to ban him from serving as an officer for life in penny stocks. He's not only unqualified but, too dishonest to ever have his hands on investors money again.

As for the mastermind, if Urban's stupidity, greed and addictions help enabled that network to finally be brought down that's wonderful, imo (added for h24ever).


[6] In his affidavit, Frank Olson swears that Sky Rise Farms Ltd. has advanced $1,333,080.00 to Allan Moen and Urban Casavant, that the monies should have been repaid, and that although demand has been made for repayment, repayment has not been made. Mr. Olson also swears that he has been involved with Allan Moen and Urban Casavant for a number of years, and that he is not aware of any assets owned by them in Alberta.
