Question juridique clé
Whether the appellate court violated the presumption of innocence and in dubio pro reo by finding the defendant knew of the fraudulent scheme.
Solution extraite
The complaint was largely inadmissible or unfounded because it amounted to appellatory criticism and did not show arbitrary fact-finding.
Motifs extraits
The Federal Court held that the defendant failed to engage specifically with the appellate court's reasoning and merely advanced his own view of the evidence. The findings that he performed key functions, knew of financing through incoming investor money, and contributed centrally to the scheme were not shown to be manifestly untenable.
