The B.C. government has filed another lawsuit against alleged money launderer Paul King Jin, asking that a $25,000 bank draft found in his Mercedes and made out to a casino be forfeited as a proceed of crime.

The director of civil forfeiture filed the latest claim against assets of Jin on Feb. 4. Jin has not yet filed a response.

In the claim, the director says the bank draft was dated May 20, 2017, and made out to Great Canadian Casinos.

Jin’s vehicle was seized by the anti-gang Combined Forces Special Enforcement Unit later that May and the draft was found after a search warrant was obtained three months later.

The director notes that the B.C. Lottery Corporation banned Jin from casinos for five years, beginning in 2012, in suspicion of loan-sharking.

“Mr. Jin has been identified by BCLC as being involved in cash deliveries to high-stakes gamblers at casinos in the Lower Mainland,” the lawsuit alleges. “Between June 27, 2012 and June 24, 2015, there were 140 casino transactions totalling $23, 501,456 and related to casino activity involving Mr. Jin and his associates.”
