(1) Record Concerning “Big Head B”
In late 2013, following the conclusion of a romantic relationship and marriage lasting more than ten years and the completion of divorce proceedings, Victim O entered a period of significant emotional distress and vulnerability. During this time, she visited casinos in the Niagara Falls region of Canada and became acquainted with a man who identified himself as “Big Head B.”
According to Victim O, this individual was a Hong Kong–born, long-established overseas Chinese resident who was active in casino environments and engaged in high-interest private lending activities.
Following the divorce, “Big Head B” engaged in purpose-driven and strategic emotional involvement through frequent contact, expressions of concern, and companionship. The timing and manner of this involvement closely coincided with periods during which the victim was emotionally vulnerable and experiencing financial losses in casino settings.
Over approximately the following two years, the parties maintained an ongoing but undefined intimate relationship. During this period, “Big Head B” accompanied the victim to multiple gambling locations, including but not limited to:
• Casinos in Macau
• Casinos in Las Vegas, United States
• Casinos in Buffalo, United States
According to the victim, during this period the individual exploited Victim O’s accumulated casino membership benefits, reward points, and reliance on casino environments. Through high-interest lending and related financial arrangements, he obtained substantial funds and associated benefits from the victim.
Specifically, during this period the victim secured two loans against her real property, totaling approximately CAD 6 million in cash, and paid approximately CAD 300,000 in interest.
Victim O states that these financial transactions and interactions occurred while she was in a period of emotional fragility following the dissolution of a long-term relationship. The circumstances of the interactions, companionship, and financial arrangements may be subject to verification through internal casino records, surveillance footage, membership systems, and transaction data.
