TORONTO – The Ontario Securities Commission (OSC) announced today that Robert Heward and William Wallace of Toronto, Ontario have been charged with alleged breaches of the Securities Act (Ontario) following an investigation by the Ontario Securities Commission’s Joint Serious Offences Team (JSOT).

It is alleged that between December 2009 and December 2013 Heward and Wallace engaged in acts, practices or a course of conduct relating to the sale of Londoni Gold Corp. securities that they knew or ought to have known perpetrated a fraud on Canadian investors. Approximately $6.8M was raised from investors as a result of this scheme.
