The Nova Scotia mass killer used “illegitimate or suspicious means” to amass cash and enjoy a lifestyle well beyond his reported $40,000 annual income, the inquiry into his 2020 murders has found.

But the inquiry says in a document published Tuesday it found no evidence the gunman was involved in organized crime or was a police informant, despite rumours that surfaced after it was revealed he withdrew $475,000 in cash from a Brink’s office shortly before his rampage.
