New details in a 2022 counterfeit $2 coin case suggest that a Chinese Canadian business in Toronto, charged with distributing the coins, did not act alone. The RCMP believe a distribution network exists, with another suspect possibly still at large.
Daixiong He, who owned a Chinese supermarket in the Toronto area, allegedly deposited 90 boxes of 500 counterfeit coins at branches of three major banks throughout 2021 until his May 2022 arrest, according to a 43-page RCMP report obtained by Global News via an access to information request.
