A South Shore man has seized the assets of local Internet payment company AlertPay Inc., and plans to sell the CEO's shares in the company next week.
"If you think that AlertPay is owned by Firoz Patel, that could change next week," said Sylvain Racette, the lawyer for Patrick Masse, who lives in St. Paul d'Abbotsford.
According to Masse's claim in court, he gave AlertPay $979,000 to invest in a European bank account. AlertPay was supposed to forward the money to the Credit Suisse account, so that Masse could invest it.
Masse claims Patel used his money to invest in a company based in Mexico called Air Temp North America. When Masse asked for his money back, he was told that it was frozen, and Patel didn't have access to it, Racette said.
Last year, Racette seized AlertPay and Patel's assets, including his car his house, and several bank accounts.
