Not sure if I like this.... I looked into the CEO of Silver Dragon:

Marc Hazout:

Makes me wonder why Fung would be involved with him:

Convicted of Assault, Kidnapping, and Extortion

Marc Hazout, Laurent Hazout, Ron Hadida, and Sarbjit Hayre were charged with assaulting, kidnapping, and confining

D.F. on October 3, 1996. They were also charged with extorting from D.F. the use of his catering licence for their

benefit. In addition, Laurent Hazout and Sarbjit Hayre were charged with attempting to obstruct justice on June 22,

1997. On June 23, 1999, Marc Hazout and Laurent Hazout were convicted of assault, kidnapping, and extortion. Both were

sentenced to a conditional sentence of 6 months followed by 2 years probation. They served their sentences but appealed

their convictions. In March 2001, the Court of Appeal overturned the convictions and ordered a new trial.

The Appellant, Marc Hazout, and Laurent Hazout were tried for the second time in front of Dambrot J. At the outset

of the retrial, they requested an adjournment to retain counsel, which the trial judge denied. The matter proceeded with

both unrepresented. Marc Hazout and Laurent Hazout were found guilty of kidnapping and extortion and sentenced to

18 months and 15 months, respectively, to be served conditionally. On appeal, the majority of the Court of Appeal

dismissed the appeal. Simmons J.A., dissenting in part, held that the trial judge’s failure to grant an adjournment created

an appearance of unfairness and accordingly, she would have allowed the appeal and ordered a new trial.
