Yesterday, a group of Ottawa residents won a private class action lawsuit to freeze at least 146 cryptocurrency wallets and bank assets tied to the main organizers of Canada’s “Freedom Convoy” in a bid to stanch funding for the ongoing demonstrations.
Known as a Mareva injunction, the lawsuit was filed by Ottawa residents Zexi Li, Geoffrey Devaney, and the Happy Goat Coffee business against key convoy organizers including Chris Barber, Benjamin Dichter, Tamara Lich, and Nicholas St. Louis. The hearing was held in private without public notice or access, lawyer Paul Champ who represents the residents bringing the suit, told The Star, a Toronto-headquartered Canadian newspaper. Li earlier this month won an injunction which barred protesters from honking their horns in downtown Ottawa.
The suit is unprecedented for the country, as it’s the “first time in Canada that a Mareva injunction [has] ever been used to freeze cryptocurrency,” says Matthew Burgoyne, a crypto- and blockchain-focused partner at Calgary-based McLeod Law. He added that the injunction was a powerful legal “remedy which can have significant consequences for a defendant.” The defendants weren’t given advance notice of the suit, says Champ.
Champ, who hired a private investigator and cryptocurrency expert, found that the organizers’ crypto movements outpaced the government’s attempts to track them.
Under the injunction, the named defendants, and those affiliated with them, are restricted from moving fiat and cryptocurrency assets in the bank accounts and cryptocurrency wallets specifically named in the suit. The respondents must now respond to the court and “submit to an examination under oath” regarding their assets and what the assets have been used for. The Mareva injunction is only used when there’s a “high risk” that the defendant will “dispose, encumber or…remove its assets from the jurisdiction during the course of litigation,” says Burgoyne.

Hi!! :)
God called a few times during that bout but I didn’t answer the phone!!
As if that would matter.
HE decided that it wasn’t my time.
For about 2 weeks, I could feel the muscles in my legs when I tried to sit up. First time I was ever REALLY bed ridden.
But YES, thank you G-d for healing me 100 percent.
And how are you?!?!
It took me a VERY, VERY, VERY Long time to get over 2020 elections.
I think I’m there :)
Welcome back DP! Glad to see you back and now “blessed” with a good degree of natural immunity. Looking forward to seeing more posts from you.
God bless. 😃😃
Huh. An abortion I could get behind. Never saw that coming.
I have repeatedly told you crypto fanboys this was possible and very likely.
Glad you recovered.
That’s nice :) Good to be remembered :)
I tried a comeback some months back but I still wasn’t ready.
Couldn’t get past 2020.
Wanted all out war. Was disappointed that we didn’t go to the mattresses.
But it wasn’t the first stolen election. And it won’t be the last.
Question is, is anything being done to make sure it doesn’t happen AGAIN?
Hope you and the whole gang on here are well, as well as your families :)
BRUTAL for 4 weeks.
And then I got better.
Mrs. JimRed and I got it in November 2020, but the misery was less than brutal and was mostly gone in a week. God has been better to us than we deserve.
So these people want a tyrannical dictatorship. God Help Them!

Well, isn’t that just peachy. Damned fascists!
Ethically ... yeah, right.
Can you imagine their definition of ethically?
... s'cuse us as we steal your coffee, peasants.
Yep and everyone should boycott the Happy Goat Coffee shop forever as well as any other business that signed onto that.
Useful Idiots!
Glad your mom wasn’t one of them. Sad for the other 30 families.
I don’t think I was EVER in danger of dying from it. I’m quite sure of that.
But at 53 and with a horrible weight, it was hell.
Much, much worse than any flu I ever had.
But like you said folks get really sick at times and it is what it is.
I got ALL better and life went on.
My 89 year old mom beat it in 3 days without really getting that sick at all :)
Those old Italians really ate and still eat healthy.
Should have never moved out lol
W00t!
Glad to see you made it.
Maybe you do deserve it. Good folks deserve it.
There’s no shortage of bad ones.
And maybe being in decent shape and not being a million pounds overweight like me helped you too :)
Like I said in another post, my 89 year old mom got better in 3 days :)
I missed you too, DP! Good to see you back.
Could truckers stop delivering goods to Ottawa?
Zexi Li: Chinese.
Geoffrey Devaney: Marrying a Chinese chick, Mikayla Chun.
Happy Goat Coffee: Unknown, but with the previous two participants, a Chinese connection is possible.
