FSRA revokes the licence of Expert Financial Corporation and imposes administrative penalties on Expert Financial Corporation, Upanshuman Pandey and Varinder Singh Virk Français
TORONTO, July 25, 2025 /CNW/ - Ontario's financial services regulator, FSRA, has revoked the mortgage brokerage licence of Expert Financial Corporation ("Expert Financial") and imposed administrative penalties on Expert Financial in the total amount of $36,000. FSRA has also imposed administrative penalties in the total amount of $32,000 on Upanshuman Pandey ("Pandey") and an administrative penalty of $2,000 on Varinder Singh Virk ("Virk"). Pandey was the Principal Broker of Expert Financial. His broker licence expired in March 2025. Pandey and Expert Financial facilitated Nasir Syed Zaidi Hussain ("Hussain") in holding himself out as a mortgage agent and conducting unlicensed mortgage business. Hussain met with clients, collected supporting documents, and passed the information to Pandey. Pandey would then submit the mortgage applications and split the brokerage fees with Hussain as commissions. Hussain did not request a hearing, and FSRA imposed orders against him. "Licensees must not facilitate activities for unlicensed individuals," said Elissa Sinha, Director of Litigation and Enforcement at FSRA. "We will act decisively to ensure that consumers are advised by individuals who are properly licensed, and meet legal and professional standards." Pandey breached the Act as follows: Facilitated the illegal holding out and unlicensed activity of a non-licensee contrary to section 3.1 of O. Reg 187/08; Failed to take sufficient steps to verify the identities of borrowers, which caused Expert Financial to violate section 10 of O. Reg 188/08, contrary to section 3 of O. Reg 187/08; Failed to ensure that Expert Financial met its record-keeping obligations, contrary to section 2 of O. Reg 410/07; and Provided false and misleading statements to FSRA on Expert Financial's Annual Information Returns with respect to the lack of referrals and complaints, contrary to section 45 of the Act. Expert Financial facilitated the illegal holding out and unlicensed activity of a non-licensee contrary to section 14.2 of O. Reg.188/08 and failed to maintain complete and accurate records from a borrower, contrary to section 46 of O. Reg. 188/08. Virk dealt in mortgages for remuneration outside of his mortgage brokerage contrary to section 2(3) of the Act. FSRA issued these orders as a result of settlements with Expert Financial, Pandey and Virk.

RCMP recover 460,000 USD Tether in cryptocurrency for fraud victim Français
OTTAWA, ON, July 23, 2025 /CNW/ - The RCMP Federal Policing Criminal Operations - Virtual Assets team at National Headquarters have recovered approximately 460,000 USD Tether (USDT) in cryptocurrency after an Ontario resident was targeted by a sophisticated investment fraud. After obtaining a Special Warrant for Digital Assets, on July 3 the RCMP seized 460,000 USDT—valued at approximately $640,000 CAD—as the proceeds of crime. RCMP Federal Policing Criminal Operations Sergeant Ryan Berry remarked that prompt reporting by the victim helped officers recover the funds. "In cases of stolen cryptocurrency, timing is everything," Berry said. "Given the speed at which cryptocurrency assets can be transferred, the sooner investigators begin following the transactions, the higher the likelihood of interdiction and seizure during the money laundering process." Berry noted that cooperation from Tether International, S.A. de C.V. also contributed to the successful operation. "Collaboration and assistance from the private sector are paramount in cryptocurrency investigations," he said. "The voluntary assistance of Tether was instrumental in the seizure and recovery of these funds." The RCMP urges Canadians to remain vigilant when considering online investment opportunities and to report thefts and frauds to their local police. Suspected fraud can also be reported to the Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre either online at or by phone (1-888-495-8501). Fast Facts: Cryptocurrency is increasingly a factor in investment frauds. In these cases, victims are introduced to cryptocurrency-related investments via social media, phone calls, online advertisements, and online dating platforms. Using spoofed websites and mobile applications with fake trades and profits, the victims are encouraged to invest money on the investing platform. When the victim attempts to withdraw their investments, they are typically asked for more money for taxes and other fees. Eventually, the perpetrators stops communicating with the victim and the victim realizes they have been defrauded of all the money they believed they were investing. Cryptocurrencies bring new and enhanced legal and technical challenges for law enforcement. Unique procedures and authorities are required to search for, seize and transfer cryptocurrency, as well as enhanced diligence to safeguard these assets when handling and disclosing information. The RCMP coordination centre on virtual assets (cryptocurrency) was created in Federal Policing Criminal Operations, Financial Crime, to enable the RCMP to adapt and be prepared to work operationally in this environment. The centre has dedicated cryptocurrency employees who ensure that the RCMP stays current with trends and training. These employees also provide guidance to investigators across the country.
