Bussin' Bust: Northern Ontario Businessman Caught Up in Human Trafficking Mess 😬

The Tea is Piping Hot ☕

Alright, listen up, fam. There's some serious sus activity going down in Northern Ontario. This businessman got nicked after an 8-month deep dive by the North Bay Police. The charges are straight-up wild: human trafficking, making bank off trafficking, laundering money, possession of stolen property, fraud, extortion, and even stealing credit card info. Like, WTF?

Apparently, it all started last October when people snitched about unpaid wages, fake immigration papers, and foreign workers getting played. The cops raided three businesses back on May 28th and found some serious dirt. They're saying this dude was manipulating a foreign national, making them cough up dough for their own immigration papers. That's messed up on so many levels.

He was arrested without a fight and is now chilling under house arrest. But, plot twist, there's a gag order, so we can't even spill the tea on who this dude is. The fuzz is saying labor trafficking is getting outta hand, especially for migrant workers who are already in a vulnerable spot because of their immigration status, isolation, and language barriers. So messed up.

For those tryna finesse workers for little to no pay, or paying less than promised. Or even worse, making them pay to get on payroll and for papers needed for visa or residency apps. If you or someone you know is going through it, hit up the Canadian Human Trafficking Hotline. It's 100% anonymous and available 24/7. Don't be afraid to snitch or call 911 and the local police.
