Verdict expected in ‘complex and unique’ Knowledge House stock fraud case
HALIFAX — A much-anticipated verdict is expected Friday in the multi-million-dollar stock market fraud case stemming from the collapse of Halifax’s Knowledge House e-learning company.
Former company president and CEO Daniel Potter and lawyer Blois Colpitts are jointly charged with a series of frauds.
Their trial began in November 2015 and heard from 75 witnesses over more than 150 court days, and 184 exhibits were received — including thousands of documents.
“Describing this trial as complex and unique would be a gross understatement,” Nova Scotia Supreme Court Justice Kevin Coady wrote in August 2017 in one of many mid-trial decisions.
