Watched a bit of the interview with 'the broker' who said, paraphrasing, "...these men would arrive in fancy cars, open a suitcase full of money and say "If you know who has the video, tell him to come and see us..."
What are the CBC and RCMP going to do when the investigation leads right to their boss's door?
