Executives with Great Canadian Gaming Corp. met B.C. Lottery Corp. managers in 2014 to discuss safety concerns presented by a high-stakes gambler who bought chips at River Rock Casino after receiving a suspicious delivery of $645,000 in small bills, Postmedia News has learned.

The information obtained by Postmedia sheds new light on the concerns of BCLC vice-president Brad Desmarais, a former Vancouver anti-gang cop, and the anti-money-laundering solutions he discussed with Great Canadian executives in 2014, as Chinese VIPs flooded the Richmond casino with suspect cash.

No organization like Ndrangheta, Cosa Nostra, Camorra or others are established in British Columbia, yet it is a strategic area for buissness, it is next to the American border there is a port ...

The victim Troy McKinnon is connected to the Independent Soldiers.

Another case of a gang related kidnapping shortly after that one was also tied to the Independent Soldiers. Jesse Margison and Troy McKinnon were accused of kidnapping and torturing a former associate named Robert McMillan. They beat his knees with hammers and cut off his ear and finger storing them in an ice cream carton. The victim refused to testify in that case and the accused walked. His brother Jonathon McMillan was shot to death in December 2007.

In February 2009, Jesse Margison’s girlfriend Brianna Kinnear, 22, was gunned down in a targeted hit in Coquitlam. A few days later, Margison associate Nick Smith was shot to death in a Vancouver basement suite.

Jesse Margison and Troy McKinnon were arrested February 2012 for another kidnapping and assault that occurred on Nov. 23, 2011 in Vancouver.

Not true, strictly speaking...while not on the scale of any of the big LCN names there was the Gentile organization in Vancouver in the 50s/60s/70s. That family continued to be run by Carlo Gallo from prison until his death in the 1990's, when things more or less petered out. Many people including very prominent Italians in Vancouver connected to them. The Brancas, Minichiellos and Salituros among them. There's a little bit of info on those guys out there if you go digging for it but not much. Mostly court documents. Very little has ever been written about it, although Gentile does get a line in Stephen Schneider's book on OC in Canada.

Old time cops can tell you a bit about them, but frankly they never knew much and that's why those guys were never caught. An old Crown prosecutor named Brian Purdy probably knows the most about them. Western Canada police forces were simply not equipped to deal with anything like LCN. Joe Gentile was close with Paolo Violi and was Godfather (in the Catholic sense) to one of his kids.

There were also the Papalia twins (unrelated to the Hamilton Papalias) who were close Rizzuto allies on the West Coast.
