A North Vancouver man is facing a host of fraud and forgery charges following an investigation by the B.C. Securities Commission.
North Vancouver RCMP arrested Ward Derek Jensen, 52, at his Seymour area home on Oct. 20 and the Crown has now sworn nine counts of fraud over $5,000. Documents filed in North Vancouver Provincial Court show most of the charges are related to alleged misconduct in 2017, although the investigation involves incidents that go back as far as 2007, according to the provincial regulator.
Ward is also facing four counts of forgery related to falsified documents purporting to be from the Rosenthal Collins Group, a Chicago-based investment firm, and the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, court documents show.
While out on $10,000 bail, Jensen is under court orders to have no contact with his alleged victims and he must not participate in selling, promoting or trading securities.
He is due back in court in November.
