Benjamin DICHTER, says Keith Wilson & Tom Marazzo were not honest.

'nobody in Ottawa police...did the most basic due diligence to see if these people could speak on our behalf.'

The POEC is examining Prime Minister Trudeau's use of a wartime law, the Emergencies Act (EA), to arrest convoy leadership and seize assets of those involved or supporting the demonstrations from afar through donations. 

JCCF Lawyer Keith Wilson says he doesn't know where the cryptocurrency convoy leader BJ Dichter raised for the convoy is.

Questions have swirled for months about the inner dealings of the convoy leadership in the final throes of the protests. 

Interesting tweet from Dichter which contradicts what Lich’s lawyer Keith Wilson said.

We extended the same invitation to Ben Dichter, the convoy spox and one of a few people with keys to the crypto donations to give us his side of the story. 

Currently there is millions in donations sitting in escrow as a part of the $9.8 M class action lawsuit due to the honking from the convoy.

We learned today that TD froze nearly $1.4 M in accounts that were in Tamara Lich's name. #cdnpoli #ottnews https://t.co/R1YGrlEUBf pic.twitter.com/adHMQxbK5J
