Laval Man Pleads Guilty in Luxury Car Fraud Scheme

0:00A 52-year-old guy from LaValle just pleaded guilty in Montreal court to cranking out fake checks and bank docs that let his crew roll off with. Luxury whips like a Lamborghini and two-rolls' voices. This all ties back to Project Fastoche, a big police probe that kicked off back in June 2021 after a company got hit for over $20,000 in wrapping gear using bogus credit cards. The scam hit hard, with fraudsters using Loursten's fakes to snag 11 high-end cars from dealerships in Quebec and Ontario between March 20th, 22nd January, I, 2023, plus other gear by Bamboo Wood and electrical wiring. Cops raided his spot in 2023 and found a check embossor, plus stacks of blank checks, proving he supplied the tools for scam's topping, $4.2 million total. Sentencing drops in October, and another player in the ring plans the cop a plea soon, so this fraud crew story ain't wrapped up yet.
