77 Bitcoin kidnappings logged in France since January — and Canada isn't immune. A Toronto CEO was ransomed for $1M. Saylor sells $216M in Bitcoin. Carney admits climate defeat. CUSMA gets rejected. This week on the Canadian Bitcoiners Podcast: French Interior Minister Laurent Nuñez confirms 77 kidnappings and extortions targeting Bitcoin holders since January 2026 — already past all of 2025. Ledger co-founder David Balland had a finger severed by his kidnappers. Then it hits home: Toronto's WonderFi CEO was forced into a car during rush hour for a $1 million ransom, and a B.C. family was held hostage overnight. Joey and Len break down why being loud about your Bitcoin stack is now a physical security problem — and what actually protects you. In this episode of the Canadian Bitcoiners Podcast:- The global Bitcoin kidnapping wave - France's 77 cases and the Canadian parallel nobody's talking about- Strategy (MicroStrategy) sells $216M in Bitcoin - is Saylor's playbook cracking, or is this just treasury management?- K Wave Media's 10,000 BTC dream collapses to zero - the corporate Bitcoin treasury reckoning is here- Mark Carney concedes emissions targets will not be met, pivots to a new energy plan and a west coast pipeline- CUSMA joint review: the U.S. declines to renew, and what it means for Canadian trade- Toronto's FIFA World Cup bill: FIFA cashes out, taxpayers cover $380 million for six games- An Ontario judge exposes CBSA's 577,739-case deportation backlog through one repeat LCBO thief- Plus: a Brampton Ponzi scheme, Montreal's rental relief, BTCPay's new tap-to-pay terminal, Wasabi Wallet's mandatory upgrade, and a clipboard-hijacking cautionary tale Bitcoin doesn't create the incentive to overpromise and quietly walk it back - governments and corporate copycats do that fine on their own. Self-custody still means being your own bank. Just don't be a loud one about it.

Mr. Cucks, yeah. My brief is always BTC mentor read. Look, Nathan, Ben, those guys, you're not going to find better Bitcoiners than that, except on this program. It may be on BitCast too, but still Nathan and Ben and the boys are fantastic. And what they're doing at BTC mentor

is basically making sure that you don't copy and paste your seed phrase into an app that you don't let the keys to your Bitcoin wallet, drive your Chinese car like AllCaps said earlier. And they're going to make sure that you got stuff like inheritance planning, taking care of, multi-sig, distress situations, you know, theft prevention, all these different things that can be difficult, can be intimidating, but are important. And they charge a reasonable rate.

It's white glove. It's not like, here's a PDF, thanks for your money. It's very much a guided process and an ongoing relationship with the guys, which, honestly, you can't beat. So go there. Use the promo code in the description of this video or this podcast. And you get a couple of bucks off and it helps support the show as much. well, you won't be disappointed. I promise you that.

We don't shill for a lot of stuff on this program, but we're happy to do that one. So go check them out. Go check them out. This is going to be one interesting. It's going to be a banger. There's so much dumb shit going on. It's just everywhere I look. I mean, we could just right off the top,

we could talk about industry minister Melanie Jolie, right, and her department. Yeah. And she's on a tear of that girl. She is like lady boss. Crazy man.

What she's up to? She is not taking even a second off of all this hard work. So her department, it was an access to information. And there's a memo internally. They're contemplating taking legal action, quote unquote legal action. That's what's said in the information that was reported. if you say shit on social media Facebook X

YouTube Rumble what what a fuck it may be if they could take legal action if it's deemed to be false right like who's coming up with who's the judge you know who you know who you know come on these people are anyway go ahead sorry what else do I have to say about all that

is that to me it we talk about this often on access of easy and it is just going the wrong way. We were so far ahead by the way of everyone else that we know on this topic on access of easy. Like if you're not watching Access of Easy AXIS of Easy you need to be. We we fucking nailed this months ago. This was going to come. And anyway, continue the story because I have some thoughts on mechanisms here.

Nothing else to add because I just don't want to be subjected to legal action. So I'm just reading. of what's been reported out there. I don't believe it to be false. Maybe the Department of Industry will find it to be false and fucking sue me. But whatever, it is what it is. I put my neck out there. I think the big thing for me is it's two things.

Okay. One is that, you know, I saw this tweet the other day and I don't remember who wrote it, but I'll try and quote it as best I can, that if you have to start penalizing people because things that you disagree with are characterizes propaganda, then really you've already lost the battle. And so you're trying to protect what little moat you have left over information. And Canada has obviously gone down this road big time. Kuzma's coming up.

We see the legislation around identification online and all these other things. Clearly, whether the feds say or don't say that this is a way to ID every single person, I think is irrelevant because the law is what it intends, or excuse me, the intention of the law is what it does and what it does is make sure everyone has to ID themselves online. Okay. That's the number one. But number two, and this is a bit of a silver lining, I think, that a lot of people missed. And I think I tweeted this day.

I don't matter if I did or not, but I will say it now. In 2020, when we were at like peak cancel culture after St. George of Minnesota was, you know, unceremoniously snuffed out by Chauvin, I mean, the fentanyl overdose that he was experiencing. And, you know, there was an outcry of a certain portion of the population and they, you know, avenged the death of George Floyd by stealing TVs and Nike Air Force ones for weeks at a time. While people got on their knees and repented for St. George, you know, over his casket, including the maybe biggest cuck in America, Jacob Fry, the mayor of Minneapolis. That was like the peak of cancel culture.

And there was a stretch there where whether you were anti-COVID, anti-COVID measures, anti-vaccine, anti-George Floyd, anti-immigration, anti-basically anything, the result was what, Len? You would get canceled. And what did canceling mean for that stretch of time? you know, maybe until like a year ago, let's say, or maybe when Trump was elected, we could maybe point to that. It's like meant a couple of things.

It meant you lost your social media presence, for sure. It meant you lost your invite to Thanksgiving dinner. You were ostracized by your family in a lot of cases. You're unvaccinated or you were anti-immigrant. You were racist, whatever, all these stupid meaningless words. It meant that you lost your job, maybe most importantly, right? People were often on Twitter going, we're putting you, you know, we're telling your what you said about this, blah, blah, blah.

That means you're probably not going to get hired again because now you got the stain on your resume. You lost a job. Why did you lose your job? Well, I said that George Floyd, his talks, college report wasn't that pleasant. And my employer fired me over it. Okay. We saw this, you know, for a lot of things in this country that continue to be hot button

issues, whether it's transgender rights or transgender, you know, education, let's say. men playing women's sports and then, you know, famously now in the news, what is the big one? It's the Camloof scam, right? So, you know, these things are bits of information that are clearly not as they're described by the powers that be, specifically the people who stand to benefit from, Chiefs and Tribes, in some cases, transgender groups and other social groups, you know, you name it, NAACP in the States. You know, there's been obviously tons of stories about. Black Lives Matter, brass, buying houses and vehicles and all manner of other luxury goods with the

money that they've received. We don't have to go there. But the government in Canada is not threatening to cancel you now. And so what does that tell you about the state of affairs in Canada? I think it tells you a couple really good things. I think the first thing it tells you is that canceling no longer works. There's no social media company that's really willing to do it over these things. There's no employer really that's willing to do it over these things. And the reason they're not willing to do it is because they don't think it's true either. They don't think any of the shit that the government tells you is a fact when it's clearly not a fact has an impact on their business and they don't want to fire good people over it. That's number one. But maybe the more

important thing is that you can't cancel somebody who is self-sufficient and independently wealthy and independently employed, right, entrepreneurs and whatnot. You can say whatever you want. you have a podcast that, you know, pays the bills, you're untouchable. No one's going to fire you. Your wife and kids are not going to care. You know, you are your own employer. Or if you work for someone like Mark, you work for bull Bitcoin. Francis is not going to fire Guillome if he starts tweeting about residential schools. He's not going to give a fuck. He doesn't care, right? Even if he disagreed, he wouldn't care. So the government now is resorting to trying to hit these guys where it hurts, which is their pocketbooks. That is the only mechanism they

have left to control what people say because they just don't care. They don't care about being canceled. They don't care about losing their job. They're trying to cancel people who are speaking the loudest because they have an opportunity and a voice with which to do those things. That's a silver lining that there's a lot of people out there, more people than maybe we know who are uncannable at this point, even in this, you know, overzealous big. small L, I guess, liberal hellhole, where everything we say has to be, you know, land acknowledged and we have to repent for our sins

and we have to take a million more Indians and we have to do all this stupid shit and pretend the economy is good. People are done with it. And I think the feds know that. They know that. And so they're going to try and hurt people in their pocketbooks. But honestly, Len, I don't think it's going to work either.

Holly Donne over at Blacklocks is doing great work. the Canadian Constitution Foundation doing great work saying, look, if you find yourself in this situation, come see us. Mark, obviously, EZNS has been there before, come talk to me if your website's been taken down. And one of the things we're doing at ready.ca is trying to make sure that people have access to legal resources that will support them if someone comes knocking you with something you said online. These are high agency communities. of people, whether it's the Bitcoin podcast space or whether it's Bitcoin meetups or whether it's creators online, whether it's people who own businesses, whether it's people who, you know,

are multi-passport, nomadic types, digitally nomadic and employed by foreign entities doing God knows what. These people don't care. And I'm glad to see that the feds are running out of options because to me that's exactly what this looks like. Okay. This interest for loan story. No comment. You have no comment on that. Not because there's lots more to talk about. Okay.

Lots more. And I almost want to put my clown hair on if I can do this. All these parts here. Montreal mayor, Soroya, Soraya, I don't know, Martinez Farada. How did Montreal get a tort the mayor? I didn't realize they had, uh, anyway, go ahead. So anyways, she is trying to deal with a housing crisis that it's impacting

Montreal and how can this be done? How could they fix this? Well, they're setting aside some money, money that's been accumulated from the taxpayers, of course, and they're using this to fund interest-free loans for struggling tenants. 150 selected households are going to be offered up to $5,000 in loans with terms to repay that in five years. time. And when asked how much is this going to cost the people in Montreal, the city literally said they don't know exactly how much. So it's almost like writing a blank check with money that they still don't have because they're borrowing this from the people that they're representing, the taxpayers. The management of the loan is going to be done through a local nonprofit called

Maison duper Funny thing If you Ask the mayor And they did What's this all about The mayor is saying This isn't a shortage of units

But rather a lack of affordability Supply and demand In her eyes Does not apply here No No It's just it's a lack of affordability Solving

A problem a cost problem in her eyes what is the they're issuing more debt right somebody people don't have money no problem

here's some debt and you don't have to fucking pay it back with any interest no problem whatsoever to me it's like you have a fire you come to that fire I'm going to put that fucking thing out by fucking throwing

fucking gasoline on it it's not going to make it fucking worse that's what's happening here Montreal what happens when they run out of money who knows what happens

these tenants are not out of money. Who the fuck knows? There's a bunch of people out there that are struggling to find places to rent. But only 150 are going to be selected. They don't even know how much it's going to cost them. This to me is so fucking fiat.

Spend first, let the taxpayers figure it out afterwards. I don't know how anybody came up with this decision and say this is, I'm going to green light this. This is the way to fucking do things. But they did. This is their solution that dealing with fucking housing affordability.

It's not a fucking supply you should know. It's getting too much too expensive. So we're going to let them fucking rent shit for free. How long, man? This thing, it can't run forever. It's just kicking a can down the road. And you're creating a bigger fucking problem at the same time. Don't the feds give Montreal a ton of money as well?

Like, or Quebec, I should say a ton of money for like, for like, different cultural programs and whatnot. not like they're taking that money, I suppose, and maybe somehow downstream, it's going to something like this. And Duncan in the chat saying the thing everyone is thinking, like, who are the people struggling with housing? Most of the time, it's probably new Canadians. So you got old stock Canadians who can't afford homes, don't have jobs, competing with the entire world, basically, for not only employment, but also now housing? I mean, how is that fair? Just say, what? I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know why this is allowed.

And then from the budget, like from the budget perspective, I mean, what, what do you expect really? You know, what, what, what responsibility? Yeah, but yeah, but then from the mayor, like what kind of quality response do you expect from a Canadian mayor in the year 2026? There isn't a quality Canadian mayor in the year 2020s. Everywhere you look, it's retarded communists. It's Olivia Chow.

It's Andrea Horbath. It's this girl. Like, no, there is no good mayor. It's even the premier's offices around the country. It's just one idiot after another. There's no competent people. competent people are trying to start businesses and get to the trough like the like the politicians are except they're doing it in a sort of more roundabout way either that or they're leaving entirely if you look

at some of the data but we don't have to talk about that tonight I would just note that no matter what mayor you talk to you're not going to get a good answer because they're not competent they can't do it so they're going to give money away try and buy votes all the usual shit we know how this goes and these stories just be ready to be riled up you they get more and more interesting as we go along because we have this pipeline story that just was announced today and premieres ford and smith they were talking about this new unveiled proposal 3300 kilometers worth of pipelines that they want to transport oil from alberta from western canada to refineries in southern ontario makes sense but if you look at the geography of it you got to go through a bunch of provinces we'll talk about that in a second so this Plan is to transport some 500,000 barrels of oil per day and with the possible expansion to up to 800,000 barrels per day. And furthermore, this is going to start something that could also include carrying just oil, not just oil, but natural gas and other energy products to from Alberta, to Saskatchewan to ports in out east, southern Ontario, shit like that. To date, they spent already $11 million for a feasibility study.

11 million, Joey. Love it. So there's a roadblock from this. As I was mentioning, there's between point A to point B from Alberta to Ontario. There are some places in between. One being Manitoba. And Manitoba government, they have refused to join the initiative because indigenous groups are not involved from the start.

Love it. Manitoba will pursue large, scale projects that begin with indigenous partnership rather than consultation after the fact. This is Wab Canoe in Manitoba, right? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Of course, yeah, yeah, got it. So this might be dead in the water.

The $11 million spent in the feasibility up in smoke because they didn't figure out, there's somebody in fucking between that's probably going to say, no, we don't want this. You know, they should have went to the guy first, said, you know, we're thinking about this. And it could have just been a fucking phone call.

or even a email. And then if he says no, all right, we won't even do the feasibility study. What do you want to bet the feds told Smith and Ford, go ahead, do it. I'll worry about these other guys. I mean, Carney is like turning on a dime here, environmental policy-wise, right?

He's done a lot of stuff that, to be honestly, I'm a fan of, you know, the energy stuff is key. And I love, I know that it cost us, you know, whatever the number is $3.2 billion in Vancouver condo bailouts to get that pipeline to the shore, but it sounds like we're going to get that too. So I hope there's no reason why we shouldn't be doing this stuff. Like we should be building pipelines,

basically anywhere a pipeline can go. And guys like Bob Canoe, Scott Moe, I don't think we'll care over in Saskatchew. But, you know, like these other premieres like EB and whatnot, who gives a shit what they say? These guys aren't long for this world anyway. everyone's tired. They're dumb sort of, you know, politicking and governance and all this stuff.

They're not long, Bitcoin, I could tell you that. No, that's for sure. Yeah, definitely not that. So Canada is out of the World Cup, right? Sad, sad state of affairs. Yeah. Hopefully all were entertained by all this. I hope you were.

Because a CBC article talked about how much this costly distraction really did cost us all. And the article is titled, Toronto wraps up FIFA hosting duties with little economic gain. Data shows this is according to CBC. Data shows that Steve Toronto saw little economic gain during the first two weeks of the tournament. It's estimated that Canada's 2026 World Cup hosting gig came with a price tag of a little over $1 billion.

And this is according to a report from the parliamentary budget officer. and it said that taxpayers in Toronto dished out 380 million to host six games. And in Vancouver, seven matches cost them $578 million. The first two weeks in Toronto shows that the debit and credit card spending in restaurants and bars in the city rose by just 3% compared to the same time last year. $1 billion spent to increase

restaurants and bars tabs by 3%. I hope the distraction was fucking worth it. They did an analysis here. Taylor Swift's era tour or ERIS tour came to Toronto last or two years ago, November

2024. Data showed that restaurants were boosted by 12% during that fucking time. Oh yeah. By debit and credit card. So all the traffic disruptions, the dealing with corrupt FIFA officials, corrupt enough that you could have a sitting president call up to reverse a fucking red card. I love that. These are the people we are fucking dealing with that we had paid and given them the ability to set up shop here and money floated into their pockets.

And in the end, what do we get? We're left with a fucking bill. Pan Am Games, if you recall correctly, about a decade of. they set up the belladrome and all that shit. It was the most expensive Pan-end games ever. What do we get out of it? And nothing. Just a fucking memory.

The same with the World Cup. We're going to get a fucking memory. But the bill will last forever. The distractions, I'm telling you, I hope it was fucking worth it for you. Because this shit is not going to pay for itself. It's going to be paid for by your children,

your children's children, and so forth. To me, fuck it. Olympics, FIFA, all that shit, leave it for somebody else. But you know what? They want to leave a legacy

about a standing legacy. Look what I did. Look at. Fuck that, man. It ain't worth it, man. It just,

it ain't fucking worth it. But whatever. You know, we got two weeks of waving flags and saying, oh, go this, go that. Fuck off.

Apparently, apparently Alfonso Davies and Jesse Hirsch are at odds, too, which is always, I know one, but I don't know the other. Hersch is the coach.

So apparently Davies didn't play in the round of 16 game. I'm pretty sure he sat the whole thing. He had, I don't know what surgery he ended up getting, but he had an ACL tear two years ago. And I think most of the, I think most of the injuries you see following ACL tears are in your hamstring. If you use the hamstring graft. And so he had like a hamstring issue for a year.

year. And I think he still got it. He still got this problem. So he didn't get to play. Hirsch and him are at odds. And then on the economic side, I mean, I've heard a lot of commentary over the last little while because I am still pretty plugged into sports ball. And there's a case to be made that not only does the Super Bowl actually matter more to the host city than the World Cup, but do you know what else makes more money for the host city than the World Cup does? The NFL draft. Like, you can literally go down the list of, like, weird events that sports leagues are, like, forcing down people's throats that make more money for the host city than the World Cup. Not to mention that in the NFL draft generally is hosted in cities that have large outdoor spaces where they can put, like, a band shell up, as opposed to what we saw in Toronto, where BMO wasn't allowed to have naming rights on the stadium, right? They changed name the stadium for the tournament. Every stadium had that same problem. I know, whatever. Still stupid.

you had to also build some of the worst rafters I've ever seen. I had a buddy who went to a World Cup game at Bimo. He took a couple of work clients there. He was saying it was a good crowd, but a lot of suits wasn't like as exciting as you saw yesterday in Mexico, for example, during the England-Mexico game. Like, soccer is, and don't take this the wrong way, okay? Soccer is at its core a third world sport. And the reason to throw world sport is because it's sort of cheap to play, cheap to get into. And as a result, you have these people who like don't have anything else going on.

They're so passionate about the game in a way that you and I are just never going to be. And like that's one of the beautiful things about soccer. You have these people who don't really have much else going on in some of these parts of the world. They just love soccer. And like, you know, Europe obviously is a significant player as well. and there's, you know, reasons why you should never have a World Cup in a European city either. We don't have to get into those. But I just like the World Cup has clearly like a PR problem.

Like the Trump red card thing is crazy. Did you see the clip of him talking about the red card overturned today? I read what he said. I didn't see what he's. I'm going to see if I can pull it up. The fact he doesn't, it seems like he doesn't truly understand it, but he was able to call it. Don't spoil it because this. is like an all-time great Trump clip for a number of different reasons.

It just, it cracks me up more than you guys could ever know or appreciate. So I'm going to put it on the fucking screen here. Okay, here we go. So I saw the play and I'm a person that loves sports and was a good athlete. And I understand sports. This, by the way, do you know what, press? You know what this is for this event? It's for the Trump investment accounts and how they might add Trump investment.

accounts for adults and buy Bitcoin, all these different things. So here we go. Really well. Really well. And that wasn't a foul. That wasn't even an infraction. That was two guys running full speed that happened to crash into each other. You can't take your foot and properly place it on somebody else's foot when you're going, no, these were two great athletes that got bangled up. And this referee, who is a little bit suspect? If you check his, if you check his past, I don't want to say that. because I don't like to create controversy. But very suspect.

If you'd like, I'll provide you with the past. He made a call that nobody could believe. You know, even people on the other side, they said, oh, we got lucky, wow. And it's very interesting. They say they don't show them in slow motion. And I never realized that. I never heard of that before.

But they're not allowed to review in slow motion because it's so different. Because you'll take one little quarter of a second and you'll see that a hand is touching a neck or you see something. Whereas when you see it in fast motion, it will look like two guys collided, which is really what happened.

They got sort of entangled. He didn't do anything wrong. And he's our best player or one of our best players. It's a very vital player. And he gave him a red card. I didn't know what that meant. I didn't think it meant much. Then I started hearing that that means you can't play in the next game,

at least the next game. I said, boy, that's a big, you know, if it happened to another player, it would have been unfair. But when they take your best player or just about, they have some great players, but, and they say you can't play. That's very unfair. That's, you know, it's one thing to pedilize somebody for the game. But how do you penalize them for a game that hasn't been played yet?

It's very unfair. You can't do that. So yes, I asked. That happens in all sports. I spoke to a man who's highly respected. And by the way, whose level of respect has gone up tenfold. It was good before this started. But, you know, he really pushed it in this country.

I'm the one that got them to do it. It was not Biden. Biden was asleep. I got him to do it. In fact, it was very sad because I got him to do it. And if the progression was normal, I would have been retired. Now the Democrats are saying, man, we should have just let him have us. We would have had him gone.

But I said, you know, the saddest thing is I got the Olympics and I got the World Cup. That's just like great. You know, Trump has a lot of good clips and is obviously very good in front of a camera, at least as far as we're concerned in the content space. But that's a banger. That's really good clip. And you can see Michael Dell and Brad Gersner are behind them just looking at each other going, oh, fuck, we're about to be all over the internet if this guy keeps going.

And they were spot on. Now, do you know what the best part about that gathering was? Wasn't actually that clip or anything about the Dell or Gersner Trump accounts. The reason, oh my God, did people not hear the audio? I heard it fine. Okay, then everyone should have heard it. The reason that that clip is funny is because on a hot mic after, Trump was asking Michael Dell if he took a helicopter to the White House.

And you know what Dell told him? He said, we don't have helicopters. We have delacopters. These guys are all fucked. I have some stories that we got to talk about. Canada Day happened this past week. Yeah, Turtle Island. Celebrations happened everywhere throughout this nation.

We're celebrating Canada Day, except in Ottawa, I guess, because there was bad weather over there, decided to cancel it because of some rain. Anyways, I'm sure it was okay for Flyboy Mark, because he probably was able to hop on a plane and just travel to a nearby city to watch fireworks from the sky. So he probably got to see it. So flyboy, Mark, good for you for doing that.

But one place that didn't want to celebrate Canada Day was Saskatoon. And downtown Saskatoon last Saturday, well, actually two Saturdays ago now, there was a group of angry people. And they're angry with Canada's racist past and current inequalities and they staged a cancel Canada Day rally.

God. And this was done in Kiwanis Park. This is the video of the, I think Somalian women, right? Is that the video? It may be. Yeah, they look like mid-century Bedouins. They claim to be assimilating,

but they're doing anything but is that these people? There were concurrent rallies. It wasn't just Saskatoon. Perfect. There was one done in Vancouver, Halifax. And even in Hamilton, in Ontario, Joey. Come on. Not in my hometown.

Oh, no. Okay. And a banner for the event proclaimed that it was three hours of indigenous resistance and resurgence. And this is a coordinated effort by the idle no more people and they're against colonial

legislation. Okay, so this is not the migrant group I saw doing something similar. This is the... I don't know. This is indigenous. Okay. It seems to be, but you know what? A little bit of everything, I'll explain. Because it may be the people that you're talking about. Erica Violet Lee was hosting a live stream and was telling global news that, quote,

the whole idea is to celebrate indigenous and black culture, the culture of migrants and folks who are often left to the side in typical Canada Day celebrations. She said the concept of inclusivity is often used to silence, real dissent, sorry, just real dissent, and that people often think if we have one indigenous person or an indigenous minister or indigenous senator that somehow Canada changes fundamentally. And she was telling global news that there's a real chance to dismantle the system, like the prison systems, for instance, the health care system or social system programs, which are violently brutal towards us as black and indigenous people. She names like all the all the good programs. They were there to cancel Canada Day. So there you go.

Just wanted to point that out. Perfect. Yeah. Good. Well, you know, they got free. They can say whatever they want. That's okay.

No problem. When they tell you who they are, believe them. Believe them. I got a couple of more stories. Number one, I want to talk about this is not the Brampton versus Hamilton Man segment, but I still want to bring up this story about a Brampton man.

And it's a 62-year-old Brampton Man. And it's a 62-year-old Brampton man. He was charged and was police, say, was a $1.4 million Ponzi investment scheme that targeted elderly people. Navdeep, Boparai, and victims invested money with his man and his company, BLM Canada Corporation, on the assumption that he was a successful mortgage broker. Investors were told that their funds would be used in private mortgages, condominium developments, and in legal trust, with returns guaranteed.

So some investors initially received payments, which police alleged were from legitimate investments, but money from other investors creating the illusion of returns. And please say there were reports of the whole thing losses of $1.4 million. So if you were one of the people out there, please get in touch with police. Navdip Bopari, and that's a BLM Canada Corporation, proud of Brampton. the guy thought really that BLM was the best like SEO option for his Kwansey scheme. Come on. Really? People are probably looking up BLM scam all the time, right?

They don't want, now they're catching this guy. You know what I mean? It's like the very bad SEO work there by this fella. That's very bad. I got one more story, I think, before we could go to Brantan versus Hamilton, man. I want to talk about this LCBO thief Manjit Singh. Yeah. And he made headlines because of a national post article.

And the judge gave gives repeats, this repeat LCBO thief, a harsher sentence because he doubts CPSA will deport him. So Buddy has been on a removal order list since 2022, and he's been waiting to be deported from Canada. Since being on the removal order list, he spent 45 days in custody in 2024 and more than five months in jail in 2025 on charges including robbery and theft over $5,000.

Crazy. Justice Michael K. Wendell rejected a 90-day sentence that the Crown and the defense jointly proposed. What? Oh my God. So they came to it. The Crown and the defense said, you know, this guy should go to jail for 90 days. But this guy, Justice Wendell said, no, he gave him a 12-month sentence and said.

So he went way, way above that. before times longer than what was originally proposed by both sides. Based. Quote, ultimately, I have no confidence that the CBSA will actually deport Singh, he said, in a June 23rd decision. He said, put bluntly, a deportation order has been in place for nearly four years. During that time, he has been in custody on serious criminal charges, and CBSA could have readily located and removed him, yet no action has been taken.

If you're interested about Mr. Singh's background, well, he's 30. Came to Canada in 2016. You love this one, Joey. 2016, what? To study, culinary arts. Sounds like to me he went to... Did we not...

We had the video. Where's the video? We got to get the video up of the kid. The Conestoga kid. Sadly, he developed a drug addiction during the pandemic. And he's had a criminal record dating back to 2021. And of course, he's been on a removal list since October 22. In fact, he pled guilty to two counts of theft under 5,000 from LCBO.

You'll love this one, Joey, because this one's going to hit home. So $5,000 theft from LCBO and one count of breaching probation by entering one. On June 3rd of last year, 2025, he and two others walked in an LCBO in Hamilton, filled a cart with 14 bottles of whiskey and left without paying. About 90 minutes later, he did the same at a second LCBO in Hamilton, taking 25 bottles of vodka and whiskey, and the hall is over $300,000. none of which has been recovered. So he drank it all and he drank it on, pissed it away.

Singh also pled guilty to similar offense from LCBOs and Home Depot's and other jurisdictions. He's been, looks like touring Southern Ontario. And he was already serving an eight-month sentence when Wendell sent to him to 12 months in jail. So essentially, the judge had no fucking faith in CBSA deporting this guy. That's great. That's great. Is there not, is there a little bit of fear on the bench now in Canada? everyone's tired of lenient judges.

Maybe this might be a sign. Silver lining, man. I'm all about the silver linings today. This could be one. This guy's looking at this guy and going, my name is going to be attached to this. It's going to be a story in the news. And I want it to be favorable.

So I'm going to 12x, the recommended sentence or 4x, I guess, the recommended sentence. And see how it goes. And he did it. And here we are talking about him in a positive lay. It worked. Shout to you, base judge. We like that.

Judge, one. Now, now a tradition like Noel. they're here on the CBP because Lan brought it up we have to at least watch a bit of this video on this guy who came to me all live so yeah here we go all spoons deep in very deep things like how to handle like knife how to operate the restaurant what are the term and condition that's everything so the most interesting about the program is student only itself they manage the kitchen and manage the bloom restaurant in a conistoga waterloo campus so the position thing of the my classroom is

visiting environment of the my classroom is our professor as a chef they are very welcoming and they are always ready to help and ready to solve our queries and our classmates are also very friendly and

welcome. Just the absolute worst commercial of all time. Let's go to the Hamilton. What the fuck you're talking about? I'm sold. Let's go to the Hamilton versus Brampton Man segment. You do the read. Who's it sponsored by? Oh, 256 heat.

Now, it may be warm outside, but soon enough, it's going to be very, very cold. And one way to heat areas of your home, beat your garage, your shed, or maybe your basement or bedroom, is to buy one of these heats from Twan. He creates these units.

So why not use electricity that you would normally just heat your area and at the same time mine for, K YC free Bitcoin. Incredible stuff. And he's always developing and improving on a product.

He's got to take a break from developing. He's iterating too much. Never enough. And to see him, the progress on what he's doing, the amount of time and effort and the end result. And you could be a guerrilla miner if you really wanted to. And if you are traveling to, say, in a hotel, bring one of these suckers with you. It's a little bit cool.

and mine for Bitcoin at the same time. Come on, man. What are you doing? We love it. We love it. You can't beat it. Okay, well,

last week I took my first loss in a while. So I'm looking to rebound this week and get back on track. Get back into the wind column here. This is not one by Wilheim. Yeah, I'm worried. I'm worried about this.

now. He made up my number. He's been providing a ton. I actually have stories from this week and next week as well, also from Wilheim. And the next two weeks, this and next week, they're themed. Actually, the last one was themed, too. Was it about women or was it two weeks ago about women? Either way.

I can't remember. This is themed. He calls this one nicotine fiends. So this one is all about, he scours. He finds. You got to get this guy on the payroll. Jesus Christ. Yeah. So, okay. Story number one.

You got to tell me if this is Hamilton or Brampton. Trio of men charged after thieves target vape stores across southern Ontario. And three men have been accused by police of carrying out a string of thefts that's been targeting vape stores. And the investigation began following a series of break-ins between October 2025 and January 2026. And it was determined that suspects could be linked to more than 50. similar incidents throughout southern Ontario. Five of the thefts happened in the same area, and a video released by police show a white SUV with a chain attached to its rear

can be seen pulling a metal grate from a storefront in a plaza, and two suspects are then captured near the door before one enters in the store, and in another video snippet, two thieves can be seen inside the store, stuffing items in a collapsible bag and the grabbing shit or the counter under the counter all that stuff and yeah it just these are the two guys so apparently these guys one was arrested after a search warrant was carried out on a home and in a storage unit and they found some stolen property which was recovered and so yeah there you go so a pair men 31 and 30 have been charged and another man 32 was also charged as well and additional charges are anticipated so

these guys, they love their nicotine products, specifically vape. So there you go. There's the three guys. Second story, Joey, police sees over 40,000 kilograms of contraband tobacco. And police recover this, a handgun, and manufacturing equipment in an investigation in a criminal network. And they say that investigators say the profits generated from this illegal tobacco production were channeled into the external criminal enterprise that's being done. And the illegal operations are not only to undermine public safety, but also exploit communities

for profit. And then search warrants were executed at a residence, and they seized over 40,000 kilograms of tobacco, and that's fine-cut tobacco and cigarettes, and 300 kilograms of Shisha tobacco with an estimated street value of $10. I'm getting warmer here. I'm getting warmer. Okay. Officers also seized five complete cigarette manufacturing lines used for contraband tobacco production,

handgun, three stolen vehicles, one truck, and $25,000 in Canadian currency. And they executed a search warrant. 13 individuals were located and identified as well as foreign nationals. So initially the 34 and 45 year old charged with tobacco. related offenses and waiting barrel hearing and blah blah blah so there you go you got the two stories we have number one we have the vape stores being robbed versus number two the tobacco crew 40,000 kilograms of tobacco which one is the hamilton which one is the brampton man i feel like the the the hamilton man is more interested in the vape product and i don't see a lot

of Brampton types, you know, dual wielding the vape pen when they're, I don't know, watching World Cup games, whatever. I do, though, happen to know that the Brampton man loves a good Shisha. And anytime you go to bars or clubs in Hamilton now, though it's been a few years since I last went, but as the demographic in the city changed, what you started to see was most bars, including places like Sizzle and Coy in Hamilton, which is like, you know, maybe the best club in the city. offering as part of their VIP bottle service package,

not only Absolute and Red Bull, but also a hookah. And so you can smoke a hookah inside, I suppose, because of the leniency of the bylaw. And that, I think, leans toward a certain demographic. The other thing that kind of gives me pause is just the kind of scattershot way that the operation was carried out. They got, they're stealing tobacco, they got stolen vehicles, They got a handgun.

They got some cash. And there's 13 of them. Maybe they're all living the same house. I don't know. But I think, I think that that's probably the Brampton man, the Shisha operation. And then the Hamilton man with the chain on the truck is the other side. So the Shisha ones, the tobacco crew, that's from Hamilton. Oh, my God.

Oh, for two here? he's getting me on the obvious ones I got to start I got to start thinking about what he's thinking when he's giving me the stories and get off my own train of thought well to give me some background the two guys that were charged in Hamilton were Andrew Bessam Haddaddin and Mustafa Jabber

45 what a name Mustafa Jabber in the other story let me get that one up the trio of Brampton men bear with me That's what slow as shit. Ah, whatever, fuck. I can't believe.

I missed that. Here they are. Does it give the name? No, no fucking names. Wow. No fucking names. But yeah, there you go. So they are, yeah.

You know what? The Brampton men, they wanted the fucking, they want the debate products. The one thing that I thought was a dead giveaway was the tobacco stuff. I thought for sure you were going to associate that with the Hamilton region. No, because the Shisha. thing is the, that was the tobacco man. Because the fact that there's a lot of tobacco fields

in, or used to be. In that neck of the woods. Yeah. So yeah, there you're going. Wilhelm, yeah, you're two for two. And Joie. Johnny. The last two weeks. And what does our polymarket

say about this action? Are we still thinly traded? Fuck. We got to go over on predicted or whatever. Fuck. Yeah, we missed an opportunity. All right. So next week, Wilheim, thank you. We're going to get your stories out again. So he's got you beat now.

Maybe he's got you on the ropes. I think we're tied. I'm pretty sure he's done four or five sets of stories. And I've gotten, yeah, I've gotten two of them wrong here in the last two weeks. So not good. Yeah,

you're either two and two, three and two or four and two. I forget. Yeah, something like that. We'll see. I don't know. It's not good. Anyway,

that's it for this week. Thanks for coming. Thanks for watching. Leave a like on the video. Subscribe to the channel, of course. And we'll see you back here next Monday night, 7 p.m. for more of the latest and greatest in the Bitcoin and clown world.
