Financial adviser’s sentencing delayed

Sentencing arguments have been delayed until Oct. 14 for a Calgary financial consultant who bilked at least 17 investors of more than $335,000.

Provincial court Judge Frank Maloney agreed with a joint application by Crown prosecutor Jane McLennan and defence lawyer Patrick Fagan to adjourn the case in order to have a pre-sentence report completed.

The accused, 45 — originally charged with 47 counts of fraud, theft and uttering forged documents — pleaded guilty earlier this year to one count each of fraud and forgery.

The accused was working for the south Calgary office of Investors Group Financial Services during the crimes.
