Paul King Jin, and his wife Xiaoqi 'Apple' Wei, appealed CRA reassessments of their undeclared income of $6.38 million between 2009 and 2015. Jin reported income less than $40,000 a year. They argued the information used to make the tax reassessments violated their Charter rights. The appeals were rejected in part because Jin and Wei didn't show up for hearings. They were implicated in B.C.’s largest money-laundering operation - Silver International.
