A Fraud Case With A Twist

A man accused of orchestrating a condo investment scheme in Playa del Carmen, Mexico, is pushing back on the allegations, telling CBC News he was a victim in the scheme rather than its architect.

Details of the case remain limited. CBC has not released the man's identity, the number of people affected, or the dollar amount investors are alleged to have lost. It is also not yet known whether any formal charges have been filed in Mexico or Canada.

What Comes Next

With so few specifics confirmed, it is not yet known how or when the matter will be resolved, or whether Canadian authorities are involved in the investigation. CBC News says it will continue following the story as more details emerge.
