Vancouver criminal lawyer Paul McMurray called the U.S. government’s case against his client and reported Hells Angel Courtney Vasseur a “house of cards” after Supreme Court of B.C. Justice Catherine Wedge denied his initial bid to toss the case on constitutional grounds Tuesday.
On Monday, McMurray argued a photo of Vasseur found in the charging documents was gathered by the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) contrary to Canadian law. But Wedge ruled the photo was only created in Canada and gathered in the United States. Furthermore, Wedge said McMurray’s argument that digital access ought to be considered under the Extradition Act was not valid as the act doesn’t contemplate such a situation.
“You must know the act is a falsehood; that it’s a lie…at the time it's committed,” said Mitchell-Banks, adding fraud excludes mere negligence. The alleged scheme used a global network of shell companies to conceal beneficial ownership of company shares and trades. The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission stated the network’s “mastermind” was former Vancouver lawyer Fred Sharp, who also faces criminal fraud charges in a separate indictment. There are no extradition proceedings against Sharp.
