Canada: Judge Upholds Extradition of High-Tech Executive

A Canadian Press article, via The Globe and Mail, reports that:

A judge has upheld the extradition from the Czech Republic of a former high-tech executive who fled Canada after it was discovered his three-dimensional television products were elaborate fakes.

Sheldon Zelitt was convicted in absentia in January 2003 of 11 offences under the Alberta Securities Act. At the time he was chief executive of Calgary-based VisuaLabs Inc., once a stock market favourite.

Zelitt was caught trying to pass off a store-bought Sony TV set as his own invention.
