The iPro Realty Scandal

Co-founders  admitted to taking the money, but RECO (the regulator) negotiated a quiet settlement rather than pressing charges, leading to industry outrage and the resignation of RECO's Registrar.  A Co-founder  had previously sat on RECO's board until 2023, RECO kept the scandal secret for three months while attempting to recover funds, allowing iPro to continue taking client deposits despite the known shortfall The aftermath included the firing of RECO's Registrar and questions about the effectiveness of self-regulation in real estate hange-Traded Funds (ETFs) | BMO Global Asset Management Buy & sell real estate with Ai at Valery.ca  Get a mortgage pre-approval with Owl Mortgage Go AD FREE free 1 week trial for Realist PremiumSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
