Have You Seen This Man?!

I know a lot of our uncles resemble this clever culprit pictured near, but he is not Tamil. Kudos for that! His name is Sethuraj Mokada, a Newmarket CIBC employee, now suspected of defrauding his bank and his customers close to $2 million dollars. And now he is missing ?! A Canada-wide warrant has been issued for his arrest. An internal investigation by CIBC Corporate Security has traced numerous unauthorized transactions from CIBC customers to an account overseas under Mokada's name. Their investigation suggests that the fraud had been going on for the past year, where funds were being transferred out of unsuspecting customers' accounts. This is just another friendly reminder to always keep your balances in check! Your respective banks don't just send out regular monthly statements for nothing ... Anyhow, if you do see this uncle...please contact Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS.
