The B.C. Securities Commission has begun proceedings against Vancouver's Brandon Boddy, citing him for obstructing an investigation. The BCSC claims that it has been trying to interview Mr. Boddy, 41, for nearly a year, but he has refused to give evidence. The regulator has not yet provided any details of the underlying investigation.

The allegations are contained in a brief notice of hearing that the BCSC released on Friday, June 28. According to the notice, the BCSC issued a demand and summons to Mr. Boddy on July 4, 2023, asking him to produce records and to attend an interview. The BCSC says that it initially scheduled an interview for Aug. 29, 2023, but it delayed that interview at the request of Mr. Boddy's lawyer.

According to the notice, the BCSC has since contacted Mr. Boddy many times through his lawyer, looking to arrange the interview. The notice does not say exactly how Mr. Boddy responded, but it does say that he has not arrived for the interview, nor has he produced any records. As the BCSC sees things, his actions amount to obstruction.
