Former Comox Valley Resident Accused of $4.6 Million in Crypto Fraud
BCSC says Connor Sinclair Gardiner-Ingram took $4.6 million from investors and spent it on travel, jewelry, vehicles and family transfers.
- The British Columbia Securities Commission accused former Comox resident Connor Sinclair Gardiner-Ingram of $4.6 million fraud, alleging he solicited funds from dozens of investors between 2021 and 2024 for fake cryptocurrency trading bots.
- Operating under the name "Alpha Alliance," Gardiner-Ingram purportedly promised investors profits from automated trading bots, though the BCSC alleges the entity was never registered in any jurisdiction.
- Investigators claim Gardiner-Ingram used the $4.6 million for luxury goods, jewelry, vehicles, and family transfers instead of trading bots, having received $3.6 million from 43 investors plus $1 million from an Australian contact.
- The BCSC further alleges Gardiner-Ingram lied under oath during interviews about fund movements and bot origins; he or his counsel may appear before the commission on September 15 to respond.
- None of the BCSC allegations have been proven in court, and Gardiner-Ingram, who previously owned retail store Dripside Customs in Comox, now resides in Alberta.
