A numbered company\u0027s account was found to hold a little more than $250,000 in disputed funds, according to a case in Ontario Superior Court.

The firm recovered a portion of those funds once the fraud was discovered, and TD Bank was able to trace and place a hold on some of the accounts.

Attempts to reach Baring by this newspaper were unsuccessful. McGuinty Law did not immediately respond to a request for comment on Thursday. Baring told court he was “also a victim of fraud” and had sold a property in India with the proceeds of the sale to be deposited in his corporate bank account. Baring did not provide any documentation to support a sale of land in India and could not provide any details of the sale, including the sale price, the judge noted.
