Offshore Insight
Offshore clients were planning a joint real estate venture with a Canadian businessman, Mr. Dennis, now living in a Caribbean country. They wanted to obtain information about Mr. Dennis' business dealings and reputation in Canada. As the clients had no knowledge of the subject's Canadian business interests, what they found by enlisting our services was eye-opening, to say the least. Mr. Dennis had made his fortune in the Adult Video industry, and is the self-proclaimed "Canadian King of Porn".
We also found he had a colourful past. Mr. Dennis tried his hand at several different businesses, and when he was thirty years old he was involved in an insurance scam. He fell into his current business when he purchased the stock of an adult video retailer going out of business. He appeared numerous times in the media as leading the fight to change obscenity laws in Canada so his stores could remain open, legally.
Most recently, there were reports of Mr. Dennis having been accused of making pornographic videos of underage girls. Through our research and analysis, we were able to provide the client with the knowledge they needed to make an informed partnership decision.
