I'm embarrassed about Canada's lack of security on the gold heist. And why are they hiring people who steal. Consequences should be deporting back to their country of origin. Or family's origin.
The gold is probably still on the tarmac like the rest of Air Canada's passengers whose flights are delayed or cancelled. Maybe it was a Boeing and the door flew off.
Greg, thank you very much for this. I don't expect a response, but I do hope you can clear something up for me that I don't quite understand: the part about the unidentified individual & the waybill. According to the lawsuit described in the article, the individual presented a waybill "respecting an unrelated shipment" (also referred to as "the 'Fraudulent Waybill'"), and was then given the shipment of gold & banknotes. However, this phrasing sounds like two different things to me, not synonymous ones. Put differently, was the waybill a legitimate one but for an unrelated shipment in the bonded warehouse, or was it truly fraudulent (i.e. forged/duplicated/other)? I ask because the implications regarding the unidentified individual are very different--the former suggests that this occurrence was not a planned theft at all & that the bonded warehouse staff "simply" (though inexplicably/idiotically) released the wrong shipment to the individual who seemingly just kept quiet and made off with it, while the latter obviously does suggest planning. Either way, it's theft, and the Air Canada warehouse staff sound fairly incompetent and culpable. I just can't get my head around the odd (to me) choice of words in the lawsuit. Thanks again.
Got here from a hyperlink in the Globe and Mail. Well done on shedding more light into this case. Looking forward to anything else you may dig up.

Thanks, Taegan. Adrian Humphreys has done great work on this story.

Air Canada is a joke. Always avoid AC if anyway possible.
