The Canadian Civil Forfeiture is seeking to get ahold of some CAD75,000 (US$56,415) worth of casino chips that have been confiscated from a Chinese high roller tagged in the alleged $1.4 million U.S. fraud case.

A lawsuit, filed by the Director of the Canadian Civil Forfeiture on June 13, targeted the casino chips that the Canadian authorities seized from Chinese-Australian VIP Dan Bai Shun Jin in May, according to a Postmedia News.

Jin was arrested by Canadian authorities at River Rock Casino in Richmond, British Columbia, on May 25 due to the outstanding warrants that the U.S. court issued in connection with the bad checks, worth an estimated $1.4 million, he passed in different Las Vegas casinos.

The suspected money launderer reportedly yielded several “documents relating to criminal proceedings involving Mr. Jin in Australia,” as well as documents linking him to the illegal importation of US$20,000 to Canada.
