Investors who lost hundreds of millions collectively when Saskatoon's Epic Alliance collapsed last year want the company's owners fined and banned from future trading.
A former employee of Epic Alliance says the firm sometimes "pushed" for higher appraisals on homes sold to landlords and would rent to tenants who would "destroy" properties
A court-appointed investigator says the public may never know exactly what happened to the $211 million raised by the Epic Alliance group of companies.
A judge has assigned a special investigator to look into the collapse of a Saskatoon real estate group in January. Epic Alliance managed more than 400 properties in Saskatoon, most in core neighbourhoods. It also had a pool of more than $10 million from investors.
