Summary
An 81-year-old retired Toronto lawyer, Ping-Teng Tan, faces multiple fraud and money laundering charges after allegedly stealing over a million dollars from clients through withheld court-ordered funds. One victim, Xiaolong Zhang, says he and his wife trusted Tan with their business sale for retirement — only to be left empty-handed despite a court order — now forced to rely on a capped, slow-moving compensation fund while considering selling his home. Tan’s law license remains suspended, with no disciplinary hearing scheduled, as Zhang grapples with the emotional and financial fallout and fears trusting another lawyer with his future.
