The amount in question was made out to Great Canadian Casinos back in the spring of 2017. The new lawsuit claims that the CA$25,000 might be linked to money laundering activities taking place facilitated by gambling operation.
The provincial government wants to see action on the subject and the forfeiture of the aforementioned bank draft.

Mr. Jin is known for operating as a loan shark across the Lower Mainland.

His activities included cash delivery for high rollers willing to pay more once they have spent their initial stack of cash. Reports have shown that he has been most active over the span of three years between 2012 and 2015.
Lawsuit Filed against Mr. Jin
Over the said period of time, Mr. Jin was able to complete some 140 casino transactions involving substantial amounts of cash. Reports have shown that it reaches CA$23,501,46 but the actual sum might surpass this amount.
