Sunterra in sale process after $35M cheque kiting decision | CBC News

Several businesses operating under the Sunterra banner are in the midst of a court-supervised sales and investment process, months after a judge ruled in a civil action that the company engaged in “cheque kiting, on an astonishing scale” and is liable to American lender Compeer Financial for $35 million.

In his January civil court ruling, Justice Michael Lema wrote that Sunterra’s Canadian and U.S. companies sent cheques back and forth across the border “at high volumes, in large amounts, for reasons unrelated to actual business activity, with the express aim of ‘covering’ account shortfalls by the ‘deposit’ of incoming cheques themselves not anchored on actual cash balances.”
