Walker Financial
Over a decade, Walker Financial grew into a six-branch operation with about thirty employees. In 1986, a stock deal that Walker had invested collapsed. As a mortgage broker and financier, Walker defrauded about 70 Canadian clients of $3.2 million. In 1990 he fled to Europe with the second of his three daughters, Sheena. In 1993, Walker was charged in Canada with 18 counts of fraud, theft and money laundering. In time Walker became Canada's most wanted criminal and the second most wanted by Interpol.
