OSC v. TransCap Corporation and others (ponzi schemes, 2013)

Status unknown

Machine-extracted, pending human review. The structured fields on this page were parsed automatically from the regulator's own release, linked below. Read the primary document before relying on any figure here, and tell us if something is wrong.

In 2013, the regulator brought an action against TransCap Corporation, Strata-Trade Corporation, Dale Joseph Edgar St. Jean and Gregory Dennis Tindall, alleging conduct this library classifies as ponzi schemes. The release does not state a monetary figure that we were able to extract.

A dash means the release did not state a figure we could extract, not that the figure is zero. Penalty and disgorgement are stored separately so aggregates across the library do not double-count the same dollars.

What is alleged to have happened

the regulator announced this matter on November 21, 2013. The respondents named are TransCap Corporation, Strata-Trade Corporation, Dale Joseph Edgar St. Jean and Gregory Dennis Tindall (2 individuals, 2 entities). The action was brought in the Capital Markets Tribunal (Ontario).

This library tags the matter as ponzi schemes, based on the conduct the regulator describes. Each tag links to a page explaining how that technique works, what statute it engages, and what penalties comparable actions have attracted. The tagging is ours, not the regulator's: agencies charge statutory provisions, not technique names.

For the regulator's own account of the facts, read the primary document linked above. This page deliberately summarises the structured record rather than reproducing the release.

What technique is this, and how does it work?

This action is tagged with one technique in our taxonomy. The tagging is ours: regulators charge statutory provisions, not technique names, so the mapping is an editorial judgement described in our editorial policy.
