CHRONOLOGY OF EVENTS
| DATE(S) | EVENT(S) |
| Autumn 1993 | Near the end of my graduate studies at Simon Fraser University, three professors, Messrs Stephens, Lockhart and Weldon, conspired to produce and communicate untruthful comments, and/or comments of a sexual nature about me out of jealousy or hatred, in the context of my applying for a high-paying job on Wall Street. The mediums they used to communicate their comments included a reference letter. Mr. Mihir Bhattacharya, then at Merrill Lynch, was the recipient of the letter. Mr. Yanxiu Li, who was working for Mr. Bhattacharya at the time, also made a copy of the letter for himself. |
| Autumn 1993 – August 1994 | After the letter was sent, the defendant started to produce and spread innuendoes about me at SFU. And I became a target of bullying and harassment in the department, not by my fellow students, but by certain professors. Specific forms of bullying or harassment included leering, sexually suggestive jokes and gestures, unwelcome remarks about my social status, and “singling me out”. |
| Autumn 1993 – August 1994 | The professors created a perceived nepotism by bringing their daughters into the “rumors” in order to cover up their lies and intentions. Given their age, their daughters could easily be influenced or manipulated. But the rumor involving their daughters remained a rumor; there was never any serious effort on the professors’ part to pursue a relationship. In fact, their intention was to expose me to hatred and contempt in spreading the rumor, and to force me to leave Canada after graduation. |
| Spring 1994 | I contacted SFU Ombudsoffice because of a related unfair treatment by the department. |
| Spring 1994 | Mr. Weldon told me that I was “not encouraged to apply” for the announced position in the Statistical Consulting Services at SFU. I later filed a complaint with the university. |
| Summer 1994 | I received my first threatening call in the summer of 1994. I believe it came from an agent of the defendant, who intended to bully me into going back to my home country. |
| September 1994 | I was admitted into the Ph.D. program in Finance at UBC, despite a reference letter poorly done by Mr. Weldon. I think the interview with the program adviser helped greatly. |
| November 1994 | Soon after I applied for Canadian immigration, rumors came to UBC. |
| August 1995 | My immigration application was approved by Citizenship and Immigration Canada. I believe the defendant had tried to influence CIC during the processing of my application because of (1) a suspicious delay; and (2) a new innuendo about violence coming indirectly from CIC, i.e., my immigration consultant told me, in a general term, as if to state a fact, that Canada immigration rule favors married applicants because “there is a perception that single people tend to be violent”1. The outrageous logic of the defendant and the government is that, because I was bullied and sexually harassed, I must be potentially violent. |
| Summer 1995 | Around the time I got my immigration visa, Ms. Kate Weldon – I am not sure if Kate the correct spelling of her first name – one of Mr. Weldon’s daughters and likely a minor at the time, called my residence and left a sexually explicit message in my answering machine2. Later, the defendant would use this incident as a cover-up for their harassing or criminal activities, and expose me to additional hatred and contempt. |
| Summer 1995 | There was one leering incident at UBC by a fellow graduate student. |
| September 1995 | I quit the Ph.D. program at UBC and moved to Toronto. |
| September – December 1995 | Several incidents indicated that rumors continued to follow me to my job searches in Toronto. There was even one incident of leering by an interviewer. I told some parts of my story to Mr. Heng Sun, a friend of mine in Toronto. I believe the defendant later approached him to gather information about me. |
| December 1995 | I had a meeting with Mr. Yanxiu Li in New York. I heard directly from him about me being potentially violent. |
| Early 1996 | At the suggestion of Mr. Yanxiu Li, I asked Mr. Mihir Bhattacharya to help me with my job search. Mr. Bhattacharya referred me to Mr. Daniel Raz and his recruiting firm. |
| 1996 | The defendant actively sabotaged my job search efforts. There were two more instances of leering during my job interviews. The defendant also spread rumors to Graphnet where I worked briefly. |
| February 13, 1997 | During a job interview with recruiter Mr. Jim Sullivan, I heard again an innuendo connecting me with violence. |
| March 1997 | Using a personnel agency as a front, the defendant stalked me. They also targeted my house manager Mr. Malcolm Rosenthal. |
| April 1997 | In a show of good intent, I wrote to Merrill Lynch, releasing the company of any claims related to my employment applications. I copied the letter to the defendant. |
| May – December 1997 | In another show of good intent, I initiated contact with Mr. Weldon. But nothing good came out of it.
|
| 1997 | Additional incidents of sabotage on my job searches. Innuendoes, bullying comments and suggestion of stalking during my job interviews. |
| February 6, 1998 | About one month after I re-united with my then girlfriend in Vancouver, she received an anonymous hate email.4 |
| 1998 | The defendant used recruiters to gather information about me, spread rumors in my workplaces, stalked me in my personal life, including to my doctor’s. |
| Spring 1999 | Career destroyed, business sabotaged, I resolved to trading securities, a business of minimum human contacts. I later became a securities broker. |
| September 1999 | Still regarding Mr. Malcolm Rosenthal as a friend, I paid him a visit during a trip to New Jersey. He asked to see my cell phone and took a note of the service provider. Soon I started to receive intrusive or harassing calls on my cell phone. I believe it was around this time that the defendant started to intercept my cell phone conversations. |
| December 27, 1999 | Mr. Han-Xin Lin, a classmate of mine, and I ran into each other at the airport. I later signed him up as a client. |
| May – Dec. 2000 | The defendant made me an “offer” of $500,000 through various agents, including Mr. Han-Xin Lin who presented his version in a disguised “Internet business proposal”. |
| May – July 2000 | Mr. Han-Xin Lin’s wife suggested her willingness to sleep with me, with his knowledge. I believe her purpose was to lead me to Mr. Weldon’s daughter(s). |
| June 15, 2000 | In the morning, I received a strange call to my cell phone from (604) 599-9229, looking for “Michael”. In an economical pizzeria I frequented downtown, Mr. Weldon’s three daughters, accompanied by a couple of bodyguards, were there when I walked in during lunch hour. I didn’t realize their identities at the time of the incident. |
| October 20, 2000 | I made some excellent arbitrage trades. More than one business day later, my broker claimed that the exchange had made a mistake and switched my securities positions from positive to negative in spite of my protest. |
| November 25-27, 2000 | Having pieced together most of the incidents prior to October 20, 2000, I met Mr. Han-Xin Lin in the weekend and told him about my suspicion of market manipulation and frustration over my loss. The next day, the security software on my computer registered an “attack” or intrusion from a gay prono site. |
| December 15, 2000 | In the morning, I received a strange call to my cell phone from (604) 599-9229, the same number from which the strange call came on June 15, 2000. Later that day, two agents of the defendant, Messrs Ming-Qing Hou and Zhi-Yong Gu, made their “offer” of $500,000 clearer to me and suggested that the defendant possessed my immigration file, possibly procured illegally. Later, Mr. Ming-Qing Hou bullied me to go back to China. |
| End of 2000 | I was bullied by Vancouver police soon after the defendant knew that I realized, or thought that I should have realized, that I had, in fact, been targeted for robbery through market manipulation on or around October 20-24, 2000. The purpose of robbing me was to render me jobless, consistent with what the defendant had done to me for many years. |
| 2000 | Throughout most of 2000, I exchanged affectionate emails and telephone conversations with a friend in France, whom I had met earlier in Vancouver. I believe that the defendant had sabotaged our relationship by following my emails to her with anonymous pornographic emails. |
| January 18, 2001 | Mr. Han-Xin Lin, now knowingly an agent of the defendant, made threat against my sister, who was in China at the time, during a meeting with me, in an apparent effort to muzzle me about the securities fraud and related incidents. |
| February 7, 2001 | Having realized that some of the rumors may be contained in my personal file with CIC, I submitted a Privacy Request with CIC Public Rights Administration (PRA). |
| February 12-13, 2001 | CIC PRA received my Privacy Request on February 12. In the evening of February 13, Mr. Han-Xin Lin gave me a call in which he sounded most amicable. |
| March 12, 2001 | The defendant or the government bullied me over the Internet. The message was that “there is nothing on your file”. |
| March 15, 2001 | Ms. Nora Saikaley, of CIC PRA, told me that “there is nothing on your file”. |
| March 2001 | Because of the circumstances surrounding my Privacy Request, I had a unique dealing with the Office of Privacy Commissioner (OPC). |
| Late May 2001 | Incomplete personal file was sent to me by CIC as their response to my Privacy Request. Altered page numbers point to fraudulent processing. |
| Early summer 2001 | I tried to sign up lawyer Ms. Mary Brunton to help me deal with CIC.
|
| June 2001 | The defendant sent their agent Ms. Lisa Caruso to me.
|
| July 2001 | Out of work, without legal representation, and not even being able to obtain my personal file, I initiated contact with Mr. Stephens and invited him to work with me on my intention to donate $500,000 to SFU in honor of my late father5. I had hoped something good would come out of working together. But he declined. In a later conversation, he became unfriendly or hostile and used, in a serious manner, the word “bomb” on me, essentially accusing me of being potentially violent. |
| August 3, 2001 | When pressed further with my request for complete personal file, CIC hinted problem with my future citizenship application. |
| August 23, 2001 | In a possible collaboration with the defendant, Ms. Angela Montgomery of CIC PRA bullied me by calling me at the exact moment I stepped out of my building. |
| November 15, 2001 | During my sister’s immigration interview in Hong Kong, the immigration officer asked her my father’s name, in an apparent mockery of my expressed intention to honor my father67. |
| December 8, 2001 | I was subject to unreasonable search and mockery by Custom Canada at Vancouver International Airport. |
| January 26, 2002 | I filed my citizenship application with CIC. |
| Spring 2002 | I borrowed from public libraries some books on Warren Buffett, Chairman of Berkshire Hathaway Inc, a company I admire. |
| May 2002 | In order to ensure privacy in applying for an employment, I purchased a pre-paid cell phone using a generic name. I only told one person whom I trust of its number. |
| June 2002 | Two incidents occurred only days apart that could be connected through the then stock price of Berkshire Hathaway B shares. One was that I was stalked by a Mercedes-Benz car with plate “BRK 891”; the other was a “wrong number” call from (604) 219-2240 to my prepaid cell phone8. |
| June 21, 2002 | To carry out their threat against my citizenship application, CIC sent me unsigned letter asking for my fingerprints. |
| August 23, 2002 | It was a little over a month after my sister came to Canada. Two uniform police officers, presumably from New Westminster police department, bumped my door to look for the “wrong person”, but apparently their real purpose was to bully and harass me. Another incident later that day pointed to collaboration between police and the defendant. |
| November 6, 2002 | I called Mr. Stephens and asked him why he used the word “bomb” on me. He could not explain himself. I then informed him of my intention to file a lawsuit and/or make my case public. The next morning during my routine jog, I was again bullied by New Westminster police. |
| November 13, 2002 | I tried to find a lawyer to represent me, using the courtesy phone in the courthouse library in New Westminster. Several incidents indicated that my telephone conversations were intercepted. |
| November 15, 2002 | Not being able to find a lawyer, I filed a lawsuit on my own. |
| November 19, 2002 | I was bullied about my depression by lawyer Mr. Ed Ng, who was actually very interested in taking my case when I first called him from the courthouse library 6 days before, and told him that my depression was a direct result of what the defendant did to me. |
| December 14, 2002 | I saw off my sister at Vancouver International Airport. While waiting to be checked in, we were picked up for luggage examination. Despite the seeming randomness, I believe I was targeted. |
| Dec 2002 – Jan 2003 | Apparently coming by order of the defendant, a gay man stalked and harassed me. In particular, he bullied about my mental health even though I did not bring out the topic. He also deliberately hinted that the defendant knew something about my brother-in-law. |
| Dec 2002 to early 2003 | Many intrusive and harassing phone calls. Some of them had implied monetary values of close to $10 million. |
| January 31, 2003 | In the community center that I frequented near my residence, Mr. Stephens was in the library newspaper section when I walked in late afternoon. I immediately left the library because I did not want to talk to him without a recorder. |
| February 24-26, 2003 | Because of so many intrusive or harassing calls, I sometimes did not take them.
|
| March 20, 2003 | Iraqi War started. Anonymous phone calls virtually stopped as the news coverage was dominated by the war. I believe the defendant or the government has a media strategy to respond to my anticipated going-public. |
| April 12, 2003 | I received a strange call looking for “Diane” just 13 hours after I became acquainted “by chance” with a woman who turned out to have come by order of the defendant. I do not know of any “Diane” except for the famous Princess Diane9. |
| August 1, 2003 | One day after I talked to SFU Ombudsperson about my 1994 record, I was almost hit by a car during my routine morning walk. |
| End of summer 2003 | Intrusive and harassing calls re-started. In particular, I had three “good-timing” calls within one week in September/October, including one at 3:10AM September 30, just after I woke up and went to the washroom1011. |
| September 28 – October 9, 2003 | A former classmate of mine came here from China. She initiated contact with me, apparently by order of the defendant, or Mr. Han-Xin Lin. Collaboration between the defendant and the government may be needed to facilitate her visit to Canada. I did not meet her. |
| October 20, 2003 | Around the 3rd anniversary of the online robbery, a crime took place in my building. A police officer said hi to me in an unusual way. |
| December 3, 2003 | At 4 o’clock sharp, I answered a call at home but the caller remained silent before hanging up on me. I could not trace the call by using *69. I suspect it was a warning because the number “4” sounds like the word “death”, as is well-known in Chinese. |
| December 12, 2003 | I released my open letters to the government. |
BULLYING TACTICS AND KEY INCIDENTS
Patterns of Bullying and Harassment
One pattern is that incidents of bullying or harassment, whether they’re through telephone, Internet, or personal contact, take place in pairs.
Quite a few incidents involve a marketing call, either in person or via telephone, from representative of the sister newspapers Vancouver Sun or The Province.
Many incidents occurred with very unusual timing.
Physical Stalking
The following incidents showed that I had been followed or stalked physically:
On June 15, 2000, in a downtown 93 cent pizza store that I frequented for lunch, Mr. Weldon’s three daughters were there when I walked in. There were also a couple of “body guards” in or around the store. The defendant found out about my routine probably through multiple sources, such as Internet/email interception and physical stalking. The paired incident was an early morning phone call from a man looking for “Michael”. The call came from (604) 599-9229, a telephone number from which a lot of calls had made to my phone.
On or around February 20, 2001, after coming back from a trip to China, I found a long strand of hair on my desk in my apartment. Somebody had entered my apartment while I was away12. At that time, only a couple of people were told of my residential address.
One day in or around early June 2002, while bicycling on Vancouver streets, I was followed by a Mercedes-Benz car with plate “BRK 891”.
Internet Incidents
The following Internet incidents showed that my online activities were compromised by the defendant.
On November 27, 2000, the day after I had a meeting with Mr. Han-Xin Lin when I expressed my frustration over the securities trading incident, the Internet security software on my computer registered an intrusion from a gay porno site.
After the securities incident, I tried to sign up with a stock trading contest, but I never received the email confirming my registration. I learned later the organizing company or its financial publication merged with Global Chinese Press.
On March 12 2001, a key word was “filtered out” by the defendant from an email I wrote and sent out.
Also on March 12, 2001, whatever word I typed in the website www.dictionary.com, it returned the word “nothing” (and its definition). The associated bullying message was that “there’s nothing on your file”.
Agents
Sometimes, people close to me were turned into agents for the defendant, wittingly or unwittingly. In all other cases where the agents were stranger to me before, it were the ways they were acquainted with me that’s most disturbing because they suggested gross invasion of my privacy, even stalking in some cases.
Mr. Han-Xin Lin (林汉新) and Ms. Hailing Zhang (张海凌), 2000-2001
Messrs Ming-Qing Hou (候明清) and Zhi-Yong Gu (顾智勇), December 2000 – January 2001
Ms. Lisa Caruso, July-August 2001
Mr. Ya-Li Wei (魏亚力), a gay man, December 2002 – January 2003
Ms. Twee Phan, April-July 2003
Ms. Wen Qin (秦文), September-October 2003
Canadian Bonded Credit Limited, 2003-2004
Landlords/Property Managers and Other Service Providers
Property managers/landlords had been one of the defendant’s favorite people as targets, because of their close proximity with me. They could use them to invade my privacy, spread rumors about me to incite contempt or hatred, or simply bully me. I am fairly sure of the following property managers’ involvements.
Mr. Malcolm Rosenthal was the manager for the house where I stayed most of the time I was in New York/New Jersey. I believe it was him who passed on my cell phone information to the defendant.
Mr. Gordon Lowe is the manager for the apartment building at 1811 Adanac Street in Vancouver where I lived from late February 2000 through February 2001. When I was moving out of the apartment, he suggested that I should go back to UBC, although I never told him that I had studied at UBC before.
Mr. N. Ned Piha for the apartment building at 950 Jervis Street in Vancouver where I lived from March through October 2001. In particular, Mr. Piha opened my bedroom door on August 8, 2001.
IJM Properties Ltd., the property manager for my current place of residence.
Similar advantages could be obtained by working on service providers. I am fairly sure of the following service providers’ involvements:
Voicenet/Global Esthetics which provided voice mail service to me from 1998 to 2001: This company had since disappeared.
Telus the local telephone company: I strongly suspect its involvement in monitoring my home telephone line and some of the calls I made from outside phones.
Telus Mobility which provides cell phone service to me: I am highly suspicious of its handling of my voice mail upgrade from July 2003 through April 2004. I believe the many delays in my upgrade were attempts by the defendants to create problems in my anticipated going public with my report.
Royal Bank and TD Bank which provide banking services to me.
Shaw Cable: On Tuesday February 4, 2003, Katherine [sound] left me a message, saying that I had called them on January 31, which was not true. What in fact happened on January 31 was that I saw Mr. Michael Stephens in the public library that I frequented.
Media
One additional way to bully me is through media.
www.bloomberg.com, 1997-1998: This website was a major source of Wall Street jobs I was seeking in 1996-1998. Also, Mr. Yanxiu Li mailed me in late 1993 some Wall Street job information he printed out from Bloomberg Terminal before the existence of its website.
Late Show with David Letterman on CBS, since at least 2002: The defendant knew that I watched this show regularly by gathering intelligence from people around me, or by spying on me directly. Here are some examples of bullying13:
On or around Thanksgiving Day 2002, there was a graphic called “Cooking with Flu Shot”, showing a syringe. In the afternoon before the day of that show, I went to Downtown South Gathering Place Community Center for its pro bono legal clinic. By chance, the center was conducting flu shot. And I took one.
In my conversation with Mr. Stephens on November 6, 2002, I hang up on him. Soon there was a new segment in the show called “Hang up on Regis”.14
When the “offer” was raised to $10 million, Letterman frequently made joke about “10 million rats in New York city”.
On April 12, 2003, just 13 hours after I became acquainted “by chance” with a woman who turned out to have come by order of the defendant, I received a strange call looking for “Diane”. In a show around that time, in a segment called “Dr. Phil’s Words of Wisdom”, the quote selected was “You can’t hurt me. I’m the princess.”
May 16, 2003. The quote selected was “I'm scared. I'm scared. I'm scared to get in bed with you”.
October 9, 2003. Agent Ms. Wen Qin went back to China early in the morning. I had found excuse not meeting her the previous day. Letterman: “blow the chance of b-ing it”.
In my open letters released on December 12, 2003, “attitude” was a key word15. Soon Letterman said in his show: “I have an attitude problem.”
In January 2004, there was a new segment called “Late Show Unfair Editing”, in which various video/audio clips were cut out, pasted, etc. The defendant intended to bully me and discount whatever records I might present in my anticipated report.
May 19, 2004. As the Prime Minister was expected to dissolve the parliament, Letterman: “we could not either confirm or deny […] due to limited forum.”
Etc, etc…
Global Chinese Press, since 2002: The defendant knew I was a regular reader of this newspaper probably from multiple sources, such as Internet monitoring and physical stalking. (Because messages from this newspaper are in Chinese, I do not know how to incorporate them into this report. But there are many more bullying messages coming from GCP than from other media.) Later, this newspaper also worked on my family members by sending messages to them.
Telephone Harassments
| TIME | ORIGIN | END | DESCRIPTION | NOTE |
| The following calls are all from the same phone number (604) 599-9229. | ||||
| In the morning of April 18 or 19, 2000 | (604) 599-9229 | My cell phone | Strange call | First time noticed calls from this number strange |
| 8:35AM June 15, 2000 | (604) 599-9229 | My cell phone | A male caller asked suggestively to speak to “Michael”. | Later that day, I saw Mr. Weldon’s three daughters in a pizza store I frequented. |
| 9:19AM Nov. 7, 2000 | (604) 599-9229 | My cell phone | Hang-up call | |
| 9:40AM Dec. 15, 2000 | (604) 599-9229 | My cell phone | Hang-up call | Agents Messrs Ming-Qing Hou and Zhi-Yong Gu were sent to my residence later that day. |

| | | | | |
| Related to incidents of stalking and harassment: | ||||
| 12:00PM June 9, 2002 | (604) 219-2240 | My second cell phone | After I answered the phone, the caller said in an exaggerate tone: “I’m sorry. Wrong number.” Then he hanged up. | Around this time, I was followed by Mercedes-Benz with plate “BRK891”. If you divide 2,192,240 by 891, you get 2,460 which was the then level of BRK.b stock price. |
| Jan. 20, 2003 | unknown | My home phone | Message from Mark at CBCL for Mr. CA, the same person the police had mistaken for me on August 23, 2002, with call back at 866-591-5168 ext. 2589 | If you divide 5,915,168 by 2,589, you get 2,285, which was roughly the then level of BRK.b stock price. My call-back was transferred to a woman who said that my voice sounded “awfully familiar” to her. As I pondered this later, I realized that judging by her voice, she must be the same person who left me a nasty message several years ago (see next one). |
| April 2, 1998, 1999 or 2000 (TBD) | unknown | My voice mail (604) 871-3329 | Message from a woman: “You know what? You know what? I don’t even give an f-ing (inaudible). Your attitude made me sick. And you know what I (inaudible) this country over here? (inaudible) and you ain’t even good at it.” | She used the f-word several times in this message. Have no idea of her identity. |
| | | | | |
| Calls from these “restricted” numbers are intended to threaten me. And shame on the government to have to utilize such lowly bullying tactic. | ||||
| 11:30PM Feb. 28, 2001 | “restricted”, i.e., caller blocks number | My cell phone | Hang-up call | Late night call. And I just moved that day. |
| 12:45PM March 20, 2001 | “restricted”, i.e., caller blocks number | My cell phone | Hang-up call | At 10:00AM that day, I had a conversation with Ms. Saikaley of CIC PRA. And I had just mailed out a complaint letter to the Office of Privacy Commissioner. |
| 6:20PM March 22, 2001 | “restricted”, i.e., caller blocks number | My cell phone | Hang-up call | At around 5:00PM that day, I told a friend over the phone of my plan to seek legal action. |
| Around 11:00AM April 10, 2001 | “restricted”, i.e., caller blocks number | My cell phone | Hang-up call | I was in my first meeting with lawyer Ms. Mary Brunton in her office. She later disengaged me under pressure. |
| | | | | |
| Two of the following “good timing” calls are from the same number. And shame on the government again. More serious issue here is that the government collaborated with private individuals in harassing me. | ||||
| 3:01PM Aug. 7, 2000 | (604) 721-3522 | My cell phone | Hang-up call | Unusual timing. In the morning I traded for the first time NASDAQ index futures |
| 8:06PM Aug 10, 2000 | The same (604) 721-3522 | My cell phone | Hang-up call | Unusual timing. I just came back into my apartment from outside. |
| 12:53PM Aug. 23, 2001 | Long distance | My cell phone | Message from Ms. Montgomery of CIC PRA | Unusual timing. I just stepped out of my apartment building. |
| | | | | |
| 12:00 o’clock. 1:00 o’clock. 2:00 o’clock. The pattern is obvious. | ||||

| | | | | |
| The phone number and the timing suggest that the caller knew it was around my 33rd birthday. | ||||
| Monday, April 29, 2002 | (604) 873-3300 | My home phone | Message from a woman named Li/Lee/Lea [sound] from a company CoverYourBases.com. Would like to help me with Internet project. Callback number 873-3300. | It’s around my 33rd birthday. Hidden message was that Mr. Li would like to “cover my bases” in my fight for my rights using Internet, as I’m doing now. |
| | | | | |
| Three “good timing” calls within a week (and no such calls for a long time before or after that week). They just had to make you scared. | ||||
| Around 3:10AM Sep. 30, ‘0316 | Unknown | My home phone | Hang-up call; answering machine activated but no message left. | I had just woken up and was in the washroom. I did not turn on the light in my room which could have been seen from outside. |

CIC Bullying and Harassment
CIC PRA made threat against my anticipated citizenship application when I pressed them on my privacy request. CIC then carried out its threat by issuing me an unsigned letter requesting my fingerprints.
CIC turned my and my family’s normal business dealing with them into their venue of bullying and harassment.
CIC shared my personal information with the defendant and collaborated with the defendant in bullying or threatening me.
Police Bullying
There were at least three incidents of police bullying where I was the target.
| TIME | PLACE | DESCRIPTION | NOTE |
| In the afternoon of December 24 or December 31, 2000 | East Vancouver | I was followed by or made aware of the presence of one or several police vehicles while walking on the street. | This occurred after a series of events leading up to the securities incident and my subsequent realization that the incident was in fact a targeted robbery. See Chapter 6. |
| Around 8:00AM, August 23, 2002 | My apartment in New Westminster | Two police officers came to my apartment to look for the “wrong person”. | See Chapter 6. |
| Around 8:30AM, Nov. 7, 2002 | Near my residence in New West | I was followed by or made aware of the presence of a police vehicle while jogging on the street. | In the previous evening, I phoned Mr. Stephens and informed him of my intention to sue. |
Bullying at the Airport
Two bullying incidents occurred at Vancouver International Airport. In one incident I was targeted and subject to unreasonable search and mockery by Custom Canada. In another incident I was targeted for search and bullying by airport screening personnel (not sure of which department).
Interfering with Legal Processes
The defendants interfered with my efforts to seek legal representation.
In 2001, when I sensed that I would have a problem in getting my personal file from CIC, I managed to sign up lawyer Ms. Mary Brunton to represent me to deal with CIC. But she disengaged me later under apparent pressure.
Another lawyer, Mr. Ed Ng, was very eager to represent me during our initial telephone conversation. However, when I called him a few days later to follow up, he would not take my calls. And when he finally did, he bullied me.
There were at least two other incidents where a lawyer or a representative of a law firm bullied me even during my first call.

Potential Criminal Activities
I do not have legal representation. So I am simply raising the following questions regarding potential criminal activities:
There are a number of suspected entries into my residences.
Mr. Ming-Qing Hou told me that he worked briefly at the office of the immigration consulting company that had handled my immigration application. I suspect that he must have accessed my immigration file for the defendant.
The securities trading incident is in fact a targeted online robbery through market manipulation.
The day after I visited SFU Ombudsoffice in August 2003, I was almost hit by a speeding car under unusual circumstance.
I suspect a connection with Cecilia Zhang case (see Chapter 7).
Bullying and Spinning about my Depression
My depression was a direct result of what the defendant had done to me over the years.
"You need to clear up your own issues first."
Lawyer Mr. Ed Ng bullied me about my depression in our second telephone conversation on November 19, 2002.
When I told him about the cause of my depression in our first telephone conversation, he was actually very interested in my case. I guess he heard “the landing sound of a big, fat, shiny golden apple”.
His other soon-to-be famous quote: "All you have is one recording".
"I think you should see a psychiatrist."
Mr. Ya-Li Wei, a gay agent who bullied and harassed me, out of nowhere in our conversation on December 23, 2002.
Knowing he was bullying me, I replied: “Maybe I should. But I can’t do that without any privacy protection.”
He paused for a while: “I think you got a point.”
Do you have depression? If so, provide details.

And oh, don't forget to hand in fingerprints.
"Partially delusional"
Mike Robinson of Earnscliffe sheepishly accused his opponent on CBC Politics Program. Earlier this year before the election.
"I wonder if it is a real thing."
Warren Kinsella on his blog www.warrenkinsella.com on August 2, 2004. I believe it was a response to my post the day before.
Bullying about my depression is bad enough. But labeling me as delusional is just an insult. (I knew about their attempt as early as in 2003 from some of the bullying messages coming from Global Chinese Press, in Chinese.) Of course, their intention was to discount the credibility of my expected report.
1 Incidentally, the new immigration rule, which took effect in June 2002, does discriminate single applicant.
2 This is the first time I am revealing this incident.
3 Mr. Stephens made similar suggestion when I talked to him in summer 2001. Incidentally, CIC reportedly proposed a policy to have new immigrants live in small communities for a few years before they can move freely.
4 Incidentally, the sample Permanent Resident Card from Citizenship and Immigration Canada, which can be seen on CIC’s website, features a female immigrant Kiki Amana Anne Latesa who has a name similar to that of my ex-girlfriend.
5 I specifically made clear I was not asking for money from him. And I basically told him that I did not care about their “offer” of $500,000.
6 My father’s name was already on my sister’s immigration application, together with the fact that he was deceased.
7 Incidentally, there was also a delay in the processing of my sister’s application. The visa office in Hong Kong was reportedly closed for training for three months just before her scheduled interview.

9 In a Late Show with David Letterman around that day, in a segment called “Dr. Phil’s Words of Wisdom”, the quote was “You can’t hurt me. I’m the Princess.” See the summary on media.
10 Everybody else in the apartment was at asleep. I did not turn on the light in my room, which could have been seen from outside.
11 On May 1, 2004, a day when I had planned to move, I received a voice mail message in my cell phone from an unknown woman calling from (778) 889-2477. She said that it was her who had called me at 3 o’clock in the morning. She also sounded like the same woman who had left me a “possibly wrong number” message on August 26, 2003.
12 I believe that whoever entered my apartment left the hair intentionally. Later, I found that the following documents were missing from my possession: (1) a letter Mr. Li sent to me at the end of 1993 or the start of 1994 containing valuable Wall Street job information printed out from Merrill Lynch’s Bloomberg Terminal; (2) a formal letter of employment offer from Swiss Re in late 1995 with salary information; (3) some unused reference letters written by Mr. Weldon in late 1993 as part of my applications to various Ph.D. programs in Finance. (The letter was poorly done, not in content, but in forms. For example, it was printed on a blank paper rather than on SFU letterhead; it didn't even have his return address. It's a far cry from the letter I requested from him in May 1997); and (4) a letter from Mr. Weldon in May 1997 in which he required me to call him at his home before he could act on my request for a reference letter.
13 Since I do not have tapes of the show, all dates, descriptions or quotes are approximate.
14 There was a strange call looking for “Regis Lisandi” in Fall 1998. (Li-San-Di in Chinese means Li’s 3rd kid brother.)
15 I actually learned this word from the defendant, see Chapter 3.
16 At 9:44PM on May 1, 2004 when I had planned to move, I received a voice mail message in my cell phone from an unknown woman calling from (778) 889-2477, saying that it was her who had called me at 3 o’clock in the morning. She also sounded like the same woman who had left me a message on August 26, 2003, saying that she was not sure if she had the right number.
