The Devil is in the details...Harvard lawyer promotes fraud and misleads CPAO council.

Recently I sent an email to Timothy Kennish to look into the Marshall Sone fraud and negligence by the CPAO in handling the credit card charge back. Kennish acknowledged that the CPAO should have responded to Global Payments Direct and should have prepared a sales draft as required by the merchant agreement. Kennish also acknowledged the Gubbins perjury.

The question remained: what was Kennish going to do about it? Kennish eventually tried to bury the issue in the hope that it would go away. Kennish was nearing the end of his term on council and recently retired. He did not want to get involved in a protracted dispute in which his own competency would be questioned.  Late in 2013 an independent investigation by the CPAO Audit Committee was conducted to review the Sone fraud and the executive conduct resulting in the subsequent negligence.  This report was to be transparent and issued publically to once and for all deal with the Sone fraud scandal.  After the investigation the report was buried by Council and privilege claimed - buried by Kennish!!

Kennish did not want to take action because he knew that his own reputation was on the line. In fact, he knew that he should not even be communicating with me while the issue was before the courts. He should have referred me to the CPAOs legal representation Robert Rueter.  Why did Kennish correspond with me by email? He had hoped that he could convince me to drop my claim against council and therefore save his own neck. He was desperate. His reputation in jeopardy and already retired. It takes a lifetime to build a reputation and one negligent investigation to ruin it.

Kennish should be ashamed of himself. He was in a position of authority mandated to ensure the executive were conducting their fiduciary duty appropriately. Kennish knew fraud had occurred, that the executive were negligent in handling the credit card charge back and that Gubbins committed perjury. Yet Kennish did nothing!  An innocent man was going to lose his livelihood and all he could think about was his own skin!

Kennish should be reprimanded and a formal review of council independence should be conducted.

Penalty for Tax Evasion in Canada

Penalty for Tax Evasion in Canada Most people file their annual return honestly and only take deductions and credits made available by the Income Tax Act. Unfortunately, some individuals and businesses evade taxes, and there are legal consequences for such actions. Anurag Gupta, a Toronto business and tax lawyer with the law firm of Anurag Gupta Professional Corporation, says that evaders may face criminal penalties including jail time and fines up to "200 percent of the amount" that the offender may have been trying to avoid. Ignoring the Law Tax evasion occurs when an individual or business ignores tax laws to avoid paying taxes. The Canada Revenue Agency explains that evaders may report less income than they actually earn or state that their deduction amounts are higher than allowed. If a person earns income not documented by an employer, such as cash or self-employment income, and does not report that income to the CRA on his return, he is committing tax ev...
