A self-proclaimed immigration consultant accused of defrauding Chinese immigrant investors has donated about $67,000 to the B.C. Liberals. On Monday, the B.C. Securities Commission accused Paul Oei of defrauding Chinese immigrant investors of $6.9 million. Oei made the political donations along with his wife, Loretta Lai, and two companies, which were also cited by the Commission. The couple has also donated $8,477 to the federal Liberal party since 2014. The couple — who married in 2012 and celebrated at a wedding banquet attended by B.C. Liberal fundraisers — frequently attend events for B.C. Liberal politicians, fundraisers and donors in Richmond.
