Same bank statement from CIBC, same address on Westmore Dr in Etobicoke Ontario Canada. He is requesting an attorney contact and wanting to have a contract written for a cash offer on a Tucson property. Glad I Googled and found this dead writer.

Same bank, CIBC showing a new balance of $5.4 million dollars. Also, a check to Immobilaria Mayan Paradise for $500,000. Glad I did some googling before getting involved with this guy.
