Zamal Hossain - “Yes, I broke the law. Anything else?”

In a rare move, Ontario’s new home construction regulator has stripped a Toronto builder of his licence to construct new homes. Albion Building Consultant Inc. has a history of noncompliance from 2016. It was convicted of 11 violations, and fined $15,000 for each plus a $3,750 victim surcharge on each. The $206,250 fine remains unpaid and Zamal Hossain defiant. His wife, Farida Haque, was also convicted of acting as a vendor of a new home without being licensed.

Hossain says he was being investigated because of his race. “I’m a brown guy. English is my second language that’s why this happened in this country,”. Hossain claimed competing builders from Italian or Portuguese backgrounds routinely break the law but face no consequences like he does.

Anatoly Legkodymov busted - Bitzlato

Anatoly Legkodymov

Anatoly Legkodymov, 40, was arrested in Miami and is charged with conducting an unlicensed money-transmitting business. His company processed more than $700m of illicit funds from 2018 to 2022. Bitzlato told customers and would-be customers that it had lax identification requirements. That made Bitzlato a haven for criminals world-wide. The company frequently did transactions with Hydra Market, the world’s largest dark-net marketplace. German cops shut down Hydra Market in April 2022. Prosecutors said that Bitzlato was subject to U.S. money-laundering rules even though it was based in China and run by a Russian.

Although the company claimed that it didn't allow U.S. users, prosecutors said the company did substantial business with Americans.

Bitzlato was a cryptocurrency exchange that was founded by Legkodymov in 2016. Bitzlato allowed customers to purchase cryptocurrencies with cash, exchange cryptocurrencies for other cryptocurrencies, and send cryptocurrency to other users. According to the Amended Complaint, since May of 2018, Bitzlato has processed $4.58 b worth of cryptocurrency transactions. Legkodymov is looking at 5 years.

Gambino mobster Frank Camuso busted in NYC construction kickback scheme

Gambino captain Frank Camuso, 59, was busted with ringleader Robert Baselice, who was vice president of a construction management firm that illegally steered property developers to subcontractors he was conspiring with. Baselice gave inside information about competitors’ bids to his co-conspirators and directed subcontractors to raise their offers to amounts that would allow him to pocket kickbacks. A portion of the payoff made its way to companies owned by Camuso “and his family.” Frank 'Calypso' Camuso kept a low profile for years. Camuso previously worked for Joe “Joe the Blond” Giordano, a former Gambino capo and close confidant of John Gotti. In 2019 he was fingered in an illegal dumping operation.

Robert Baselice

The multi-million kickback scheme involved several high-rise construction projects in Manhattan. “Bribery and kickbacks should not be costs of doing business in this City,” DOI Commissioner Jocelyn Strauber said in a statement. “This Indictment shows that construction firms in this City must operate with honesty and integrity or face the consequences.”

Gangster Vijay Ganesh Singh loses appeal

Puneet Singh Chhina and Harjinder Singh Sandhu

Former Burnaby resident Vijay Ganesh Singh was convicted in the murder of two men whose bodies were found in the trunk of a car in Pickering, Ontario in 2009. He has lost an appeal of his murder conviction at the Ontario Court of Appeal. Vijay Ganesh Singh is serving a life sentence with no chance of parole for 23 years. In 2013, a jury found him and co-accused, John Le, guilty of two counts of second-degree murder and two counts of kidnapping. It related to the killings of Harjinder Singh Sandhu, 29, and Puneet Singh Chhina, 26, who were bound, shot and stuffed into the trunk of a car abandoned in Pickering on May 5, 2009.

In early 2009, Vijay Ganesh Singh arranged for a 35 kg cocaine shipment from Los Angeles to Toronto. When the shipment arrived, it was actually packages of drywall. The cocaine belonged to one “Ahmun,” who was the leader of the United Nations Gang. Singh needed to recover the cocaine shipment or at least find out who stole it. He suspected Sandhu had been the “jacker” and lured him to his death. Chhina was in the wrong place at the wrong time. The trial judge found little to mitigate sentences, saying that "‘these offences qualify for the description as among the worst group of offences and that Le and Singh are among the worst group of offenders.’” Singh was suspected in the hit on Bikramjit Dhindsa in May 2019.

Jarrod Bacon out on statutory release - Revisited

It was a long road to freedom for Bacon, who had been statutorily released in 2017 on a 14 year sentence after he was convicted in 2012 of attempting to import 100 kg of cocaine. By mid-2017 he was rejailed, then again in December 2018. He failed multiple drug tests. In March 2021 he was released again. The parole board noted Bacon is still considered a significant gangster. "... your accountability and motivation levels as well as your reintegration potential are low,” The parole board had nada good to say about Bacon’s behavior in prison, including that he maintained ties with inmates known to be linked to the Hells Angels and that he had an “ongoing influence in the gang environment.”

They spanked him further for having "cognitive distortions." Jarrod Bacon has avoided new interaction with cops thus far.

HA David Lefebvre loses colors

David Lefebvre, 49, of the Montreal chapter, was facing a summary conviction charge of possession of more than 1000 Cialis tablets.

On December 7, the Court of Québec rendered a decision ordering the confiscation and destruction of the jackets of bikers who had been the subject of investigations, but not charged. The jewelry of the Hells Angels was to be returned to their owners because they are rather used as objects of "pride and belonging", and that "membership in a criminal organization is not a crime in itself".

In the end three HA jackets of the Hells Angels belonging to Lefebvre and documents of the biker group will be confiscated and destroyed, while jewelry, patches, a flag, documents, a cell phone and $4,325 will be returned.

Bus killer Tyler Newton busted again - out again - busted again

Recidivist Tyler Newton, 32, is back behind bars after another crime in Surrey. Newton was charged with occupying a motor vehicle without the owner’s consent on Nov. 21, 2022. He pleaded guilty in Surrey on Jan. 20, 2023, and was sentenced to 46 days in jail and one year of probation. He received credit for 89 days in pre-trial custody and will be released in 3 weeks. Newton's criminal record spans more than a decade and exceeds 50 charges.

The crown has dropped his latest charges and Tyler Newton is out and about. It is only a matter of time, and likely not much of it, before Newton goes into violent 'drug psychosis' again. 3 weeks after Newton jumped bail on violent crimes, Kelowna cops told the public. Multiple calls to dopey cops helped them find Tyler Jack Newton, 32, in downtown Kelowna instantly. Two weeks after cops re-arrested him, he was again released, this time by Judge Lisa Wyatt. Newton was facing charges of aggravated assault, assault with a weapon and use of an imitation firearm from a Dec. 31, 2021 incident. The dangerous criminal was granted bail by Judge George Leven and released Sept. 8. He failed to show up for his next court date six days later.

Tyler Jack Newton

Kelowna is the most dangerous place in Canada for a reason. The justice system's “catch-and-release” cycle that sees violent, prolific offenders routinely granted bail is being questioned in Kelowna, home of the highest urban crime rate in Canada. A man who fatally stabbed a stranger to death on a Kelowna city bus in 2014 has been busted yet again. Tyler Newton plunged a knife into 55-year-old Caesar Rosales’s neck from behind in front of horrified passengers. Police say it was a random and unprovoked attack. Rosales bled out on the bus, dying before paramedics could arrive. Newton then ditched the weapon in some bushes and fled.

Caesar Rosales

He was charged with second-degree murder but pleaded down to manslaughter and was sent away for 7 years. (4.5 served) Newton had more than 50 criminal convictions. A psychologist’s report said that Newton attacked Ceasar Rosales while in a state of 'psychosis' caused by heavy drug use. Months after release from jail Tyler Newton was busted for a score of vehicle thefts and evading cops in a drug-fuelled high-speed chase.

Upwards of 150 women may have been victimized by Jon Mulder.

Women knew him as Johnny Myers, John Meyers, John Boulder and Jon Moulders. His real name was Jon Mulder and he was first busted for a dating fraud more than a decade ago. Mulder was busted in 2013 when Oxford OPP charged him with a series of frauds, alleging he pretended to be a veterinarian to meet women online and defraud them.

In Barrie, he was charged with fraud over $5,000 in 2019. In Belleville, he faces two charges of fraud under $5,000, as well as one of falsify and destroy books with intent to fraud. In 2021, he was charged in Brantford after defrauding Amy Todd of $60k. Mulder didn't show up to court to address the charges and the judge issued a bench warrant. Multiple bench warrants were issued, but Mulder, once in custody, would be released on bail each time. Mulder appeared virtually in Milton court from prison on the latest unlawful confinement, mischief and voyeurism charges. He has yet to have a bail hearing on his latest charges.
