The accused pleaded guilty to three counts of fraud over $5,000 contrary to Section 380(1)(a) of the Criminal Code.
The offender, a repeat fraudster with a prior 2010 fraud conviction, defrauded three victims of a combined total of approximately $134,569.53 through false representations regarding access to IPOs.
The offender targeted friends and acquaintances at a golf club and a woman he met on a dating website, exploiting her romantic interest.
The court imposed a global sentence of two years less a day with three years' probation, finding the offender to be an unrepentant conman with no genuine remorse despite his guilty plea.
