A Coquitlam man was given a conditional sentence of two years less a day and ordered to pay a victim restitution charge of $301,400 after being found guilty of fraud over $5,000.
Amir Beiklik was arrested in March 2012 by the B.C. Securities Commission's criminal investigations team, with assistance from the Coquitlam RCMP, after a lengthy investigation by the BCSC. He was charged with two counts each of fraud over $5,000 and theft over $5,000.
At the time, Crown counsel said the case related to about $345,000 a woman gave Beiklik from 2004 to 2008 to invest - money that was used for other purposes.
The verdict came after a trial in September 2014 in B.C. Provincial court in Vancouver. The theft charges were stayed.
Beiklik will also serve three years of probation following his conditional sentence.
