Canada jury finds Waxman guilty on six counts of fraud

摘要

A Canadian jury on Friday convicted former Philip Services Corp. executive Robert Waxman on six counts of fraud and one charge of theft dating back to 1996. But on the theft charge, the jury couldn't reach a unanimous verdict after three days of deliberation, according to published reports. Waxman was accused of cheating Philip Services of almost $20 million through a series of fraudulent copper trades while he was president of the company's scrap metals unit in 1996 and 1997.
