Ontario 'Greenbelt' fraud - update V - Buena Vista Development Corp.

Chinese national Yuchen Lu is screwed after trying to flip Greenbelt ground on the sly for massive profits. Doug Ford will be returning the land belonging to Buena Vista Development Corp. to the Greenbelt. Lu bought the 133 acre parcel in June 2018 for $15.8 million. Yuchen Lu's address is listed in Fuyang, China.

This is 1.79% of the land gifted in Ford's Greenbelt steal. Buena Vista Development Corp is owned by Chinese national Yuchen Lu.

Doug Ford is facing more heat as two parcels of land he removed from the Greenbelt are trying to be flipped. 765 and 775 Kingston Rd. E., in Ajax, Ont. were listed for sale. The property of 104 acres is billed as 'future development land.'

K9 Doug Ford has just announced the Ontario government is backtracking on some (not all) of its Greenbelt steal. This after citizens across Ontario screamed bloody murder and called for his resignation as the dirty terd he is. The RCMP said that the Ontario Provincial Police requested that they investigate 'irregularities'. Ford says he's confident that nothing criminal took place, ahuck.

Ryan Amato removed 14 of the 15 sites from the Greenbelt.

As he resigned in total disgrace, Ryan Amato pushed back against the fact he masterminded the land steals. Amato — the former chief of staff to housing minister Steve Clark — said his role in the Greenbelt decision has been 'unfairly depicted' and suggested he would be vindicated some day. Amato was the man responsible for choosing which sites would be released for development. He gave 'special consideration' to 3 well-connected developers. A scathing Auditor General report blasted him and his boss Doug Ford. In July 2022 Ford installed Ryan Amato as the chief of staff (steal). Housing Minister Steven Clark has not resigned.

Beneficiaries of the Greenbelt steal are the Rice Group, TACC Developments and Fieldgate Homes. All 3 had unfettered access to Ryan Amato.

TACC Developments is headed by Silvio De Gasperis. Micheal Rice is CEO of the Rice Group. Ezra Jakubovic heads Fieldgate Homes.

Of the 7,400 acres of land removed from the Greenbelt, 92% were tied to three developers with direct access to the housing ministry.

A top staffer in Premier Doug Ford’s office crafted Greenbelt changes. There are calls for the idiot Ford to resign in disgrace. His governance is corrupt. Ryan Amato is Housing Minister Steve Clark’s Chief of Staff. Clark said today he has Ford’s full support and neither he, nor his chief of staff Amato, will be leaving their positions. The 3 developers have strong ties to the government and they acculmulated land in the Greenbelt for years. In September 2022 Green Lane Bathurst GP Inc., a company connected to developer Rice Group, bought Greenbelt land for about $80m. That was an astute purchase as less than a year later it is worth at least 20 times as much. Premier Doug Ford gave a bizarre news conference 'explaining' his Greenbelt fraud. He blamed Jiffy Lube. “The previous government changed the Greenbelt 17 times … because they were building mega mansions for their buddies. They were building a golf course … and they were building a Jiffy Lube,” Ford said.

Ford said his government will not be stop the land removal from the Greenbelt. Politicos in Ontario are filthy dirty and stealing from citizens.

The B.C. government is seeking the forfeiture of the Campbell River clubhouse where Richard Alexander killed Dillon Brown. Alexander, 68, is appealing his first-degree murder conviction. Its appearing his 'Devil's Army' MC is now defunct.

Richard Ernest Alexander was found guilty of the first-degree murder of Dillon Brown. His conviction carries a life sentence with no chance of parole for 25 years. Alexander left the Devil’s Army to become a Hells Angel but was rejected from the program after a DNA test revealed he was more black than white. Alexander killed Dillon Brown to end a lawsuit that would have made the HAMC look bad. The Haney HAMC bikers were beaten stupid by a man they jumped.

A member of the Devil’s Army told a close friend that he had made an agreement to co-operate with cops and wasn’t coming home. The intercepted conversation took place July 30, 2017, between former Devil’s Army member Mick Hargreaves and his friend, identified as X. It was the last time the two men talked, Hargreaves testified. Hargreaves asked X when he was coming home. “I’m not going to be …,” he replied. “Are you serious?” asked Hargreaves. “Holy [expletive] … I don’t know what happened.” “Rick killed somebody and I cleaned it up,” said X.

A former member of the Devil’s Army MC says he heard a yell and the words “Don’t fucking touch him” when he reached toward someone lying behind a couch on the floor of the clubhouse seven years ago. "I could smell gunpowder and I could see Rick standing at the door of the bathroom with a towel in his hand.” Identified as X, the man testified at Alexander’s trial for the murder of Dillon Brown. He says he helped Alexander load the body into Brown's car.

The jury received admissions of fact from the Crown and Alexander. A surveillance camera in Campbell River captured Alexander driving Brown’s Honda at 2:12 p.m. on March 11, 2016. “Brown’s body was in the trunk,” At 3:11 p.m. on March 11, Alexander abandoned Brown’s Honda near the Cable Bridge in Sayward.

Irish Crime Boss John Gilligan - ‘I’m going to hell’

Notorious Irish gangster John Gilligan, 71, has admitted that he’s destined to go to hell because of his many crimes. Asked in a documentary series if he’s likely to go to hell, the drug trafficker replies: “If there is one, yeah”. Gilligan's gang was responsible for the murder of crime journalist Veronica Guerin in 1996.

In 2002, Gilligan was acquitted of her murder.

The crime boss is described as a 'dangerous psychopath' who 'took on the institutions of the state and lost'. "John Gilligan was a big player in the mid-90s, but he wasn’t as smart as he thought he was,” says a former top cop.  In October 2013 Gilligan was released after serving 17 years in jail for drug trafficking. After being injured in an assassination attempt in 2014, Gilligan left the country to live in Spain. In 2018 he was arrested at Belfast International Airport and charged with money laundering. Gilligan and two others were arrested in Spain in October 2020, when cops seized weapons and drugs. He is on bail.

Art heists

Madonna of the Yarnwinder by Leonardo Da Vinci, worth more than £40m, was stolen from Drumlanrig Castle in 2003 when two axe-wielding men overpowered a guide. Four years later two private detectives, claiming to be brokering the reward money, were arrested in a sting and put on trial with three lawyers. All walked free, with one still trying to claim the reward. The painting was recovered. In 1974 thieves forced open the iron bars on a window at Kenwood House and made off with Vermeer’s The Guitar Player, then worth £5m. The painting was found after an anonymous tip in the cemetery of St Bartholomew’s Church in London, wrapped in newspaper.

Robert Gentile, a mobster who cops suspected in the 1990 Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum heist in Boston died of a stroke at age 85 in 2022. Its thought he once had some of the stolen artwork.  13 pieces from the collection, including works from Rembrandt, Vermeer and Degas were lifted. The art has never been found. Among the stolen works was 'The Concert', one of 34 known works by Vermeer and thought to be the most valuable stolen painting at over $200 million. Some $500 million worth of art, including Rembrandt’s 'Storm on the Sea of Galilee' was stolen.

'The Concert' by Vermeer

The Gardner heist was carried out by two men dressed like cops who overpowered a night security guard who had buzzed them in. During a polygraph test, Gentile had an intense reaction when shown images of the missing paintings, while he remained calm when shown unrelated artwork. The museum offered a reward of $5m. In 2017 this was doubled to $10m. 33 years after the heist, the empty frames still hang in the Gardner Museum.

Tse Chi Lop - Asia’s El Chapo revisited

The boss of Asia’s biggest crime syndicate and one of the world’s most wanted men was extradited to Australia in late 2022. 9 months later and there has been nada to report on true kingpin Tse Chi Lop.

The UN estimated Sam Gor’s annual revenue at $21 billion.

Newspapers describe Tse Chi Lop, 60, as Asia’s El Chapo. That isn't a fair comparison, he was far bigger than that. Tse Chi Lop is a Chinese-born Canadian and the leader of a multi-billion dollar drug syndicate, The Company. Tse is billed as the biggest drug importer to be nabbed in two decades. He was arrested in Amsterdam in January 2021. Tse ran a drug syndicate known as 'Sam Gor,' Cantonese for 'Third Brother'

The crime group employs top chemists who manufacture synthetic drugs like fentanyl, meth, ecstasy and ketamine around the world. Tse Chi Lop was born in Guangzhou in 1963 and immigrated in 1988 to Toronto, where he was part of the Big Circle Boys. Toronto taught Tse his business. The seeds for what would become the world’s largest drug empire were planted during his days surviving the heroin glut in the late ’80s and early ’90s. He was jailed in the U.S. from 1997 to 2006 for heroin trafficking after being arrested with senior members of the Rizzuto family, including Emanuel Raguso. By 2011, Tse and his family had left Toronto and moved to Hong Kong. Around this time he teamed up with Chung Chak 'John' Lee to form the meth syndicate that became Sam Gor. Their innovation was guaranteed delivery. If a dealer paid for drugs, he’d receive them. If they were seized, Sam Gor would replace them at no cost.

Chung Chak 'John' Lee

Guaranteed delivery was possible because production costs were negligible. This was the idea on which they built an empire. Synthetic drugs are cheap to produce. It takes hundreds of farmers to generate a tonne of heroin. It takes few workers in a lab to make a tonne of meth.

The materials to make meth, pseudoephedrine, anhydrous ammonia and red phosphorus, are cheap, less than $1,000 a tonne in some cases, and widely available in Asia. A kilo of meth cost dealers in Myanmar $4k. It would then sell for $200k in the streets of Australia. By the late 2010s, Sam Gor accounted for 70% of the meth in Australia. Australians spent $8.5b on 11.5 tonnes of meth, two-thirds of it cooked in the Golden Triangle. Sam Gor controlled between 40% and 70% of the $90b Asian market, dominating the trade in the Philippines, South Korea and Japan. In 2019, after a huge bust, Australian cops posted an international warrant for Tse’s arrest with Interpol. Tse got on a flight back to Canada, but a stopover in Amsterdam sunk him. The moment he stepped off the plane at Schiphol airport, he was arrested.
