The Nova Scotia Securities Commission has found two men guilty of fraud and other infractions in a long and complicated case that cost investors hundreds of thousands of dollars.

In a decision released this week, the commission found Rudolph and Mill committed the frauds as individuals and as principals in two companies: CanGlobe International Capital and CFG-CN Ltd.
