The Department of Justice (DOJ) announced charges Thursday against the “purported” chief compliance officer at Dominion Bank and Trust Company Limited for allegedly taking part in a multimillion dollar fraud scheme.
Gerald Shaw was arrested and charged with one count each of conspiracy to commit wire fraud and wire fraud for aiding the bank in defrauding at least 60 victims out of more than $4 million, the DOJ said in a press release.
From October 2016 until April 2020, Shaw served as Dominion Bank’s CCO despite being a convicted felon and disbarred attorney, the DOJ said.
