The Fifth Estate

Quebec Stock Frauds: Dan and Carol Get Busted (42x7)

Air date: Nov 25, 2016

A tale from the shadier side of the stock market - from the streets of Montreal, but with a cast of characters right out of a Hollywood movie. A joint investigation by the fifth estate and Radio-Canada’s Enquete program digs into the often dubious Montreal-based penny stock promotion business and raises questions about how Quebec’s financial market regulators failed to stop certain promoters who were allegedly cheating thousands of investors across North America.
