A Montreal newspaper has reported that the older brother of Amaya Gaming CEO David Baazov illegally funneled insider company information to the brother’s bookmaking partner to reap $1.5m in illict profits.

Hugo Joncas, a writer at Le Journal de Montreal, shed more light on the insider trading charges filed this week by Quebec securities regulator Autorité des marchés financiers (AMF) against Baazov (pictured, his heart breaking), two other individuals and three companies connected to Amaya.

On Thursday, Joncas reported that AMF documents indicated Baazov had passed privileged information regarding Amaya business transactions to his older brother Josh Baazov aka Ofer Baazov (aka Fredo). In turn, Josh is said to have passed on info to their mutual friend Craig Levett, who in 2004 launched the business that eventually morphed into Amaya.

Josh and Levett were among the 13 individuals named in a separate AMF action on Wednesday. The 13 are suspected of collectively earning $1.5m by communicating privileged information related to Amaya’s business dealings.
