This is a petition born from personal tragedy. My friend, Alan Kats. had his entire life savings - $1.3 million - stripped away from him through a syndicated mortgage scam. Leaving behind his widow Alisa Pogorelovsky and her two infant children as well a grieving father and mother.

 Despite reporting this devastating fraud to the police and courts, Alan was met with a painfully slow process and an apparent lack of prioritization by the institutions meant to protect citizens like him.

With no justice materialising and the desperation overwhelming, Alan took law into his own hands. He killed his defrauders before taking his own life, leaving a suicide note that pinned their actions as the catalyst for his own.

White collar crime, particularly syndicated mortgage fraud, is a significant issue in Canada, with thousands of citizens losing an estimated $1 billion in these scams. Yet, the government's response has been less than sufficient. Weak legislation and a slow judicial process fail to provide victims the justice they rightfully deserve.

We don't want more people to end up like Alan Katz. His tragedy should be a wake-up call for the Canadian governmental institutions.

It's time for a change. We demand that the Canadian Government re-assesses its criminal justice approach to white collar crime, particularly in relation to syndicated mortgages. We ask for stronger legislation, prioritization of such cases, and a commitment to faster judicial processing for white collar crime.

[Update 6.24.24] 

Further investigative sources confirm why this petition crucially needs attention of Provincial and Federal Governments, and a comment from authorities as well as demand of full-scale investigation as to why this man had a license to commit fraud in Canada for 20 years, if not stopped by Kats.

-Some of the new information indicate Missaghi defrauded more than $100 Million out of Canadian and American households. 

-No local police authority ever criminally charged him.

-No court ever decided to prosecute him and civil cases have moved at a snail's pace .

-The local government Federal or Provincial has not spoken about this matter Mr. Trudeau ? Mr. Ford ?

-This is a matter of National importance. It is already challenging to achieve home ownership in Canada, only to have it stripped away by fraudsters with a license to defraud.

We need action now, authorities to lay out a timeline of investigation and swift immediate actions to alleviate the pain for fraud victims and enforcement of existing laws and enactment of new laws to mitigate this crime crisis related to syndicated mortgages. 

Please, sign the petition to prevent such needless tragedies and ensure justice for the victims of white collar crime.
