flag Toronto financier Jason Cloth, founder of Creative Wealth Media Finance, faces allegations from the Ontario Securities Commission of running a Ponzi-like scheme from 2013 to 2022 that defrauded over 500 investors of more than $500 million, including retirees Solly and Moise Vanounou, who lost $800,000. flag The firm, which financed films like "Joker" and "Licorice Pizza," collapsed in 2023 after its key partner, Bron Studios, filed for bankruptcy. flag Investors received high returns for years before payments stopped, and withdrawals were denied. flag Cloth denies wrongdoing, blaming Bron’s failure, but Toronto Police are investigating, and the OSC will argue its case before the Capital Markets Tribunal, where Cloth could face fines, trading bans, and restitution orders.
