More evidence that Canadian real estate and Canadian banks have not escaped scandal amid the excessive lending and lax standards of the past few years.

Other Canadian banks have also suffered losses from fraudulent transactions. Stay tuned. More losses and law suits to follow, and especially as Canadian real estate prices trend lower in the months ahead.
