A Canadian business executive who loaned a California man $3.5 million as an investment in a cannabis business is trying to recover the money, believed to have been lost gambling at Wynn Las Vegas.
Ontario, Canada resident Stephen Shefsky, president and CEO of Toronto-based James Bay Resources Ltd., is seeking an order through the U.S. District Court in Nevada to take discovery in foreign court proceedings.
If successful, the order would enable Shefsky’s Las Vegas-based legal team to subpoena Wynn officials for information on gambling by the loan’s recipient, David Bunevacz, who was sentenced in November to 17½ years in prison for fraud.
