Sweetapple,
It's been several years since this post, and Mr. Beiklik has now been charged with theft over 5000 by the BC Securities Commission.
You, like many of us have been swindled.

As an added bit of info for you, when I posted the folllowing question
"Hi, If you've invested with Amir Beiklik at any point, I'd be interested in chatting with you.. Please drop me a line and we can chat.. Cheers"
asking about him several years ago, my account was canceled and I was sent a message from Agoracom stating
"We have received a violation report regarding your post and have found it in violation of our policy. As such, we have disabled your access to Agoracom.
find another forum for your personal squabbles"
This is obviuosly not a personal squabble but a serious criminal matter.
I'm sorry to hear you've had similar troubles, hopefully you got some money out of him before the BCSC started.. I suspect not much will be forthcoming to us now...
