Toronto.

According to a group of victims, an investigator from the foreign

Toronto and South Korean police launched a joint investigation

into Kim (page A2 on June 6), and Kim's fraud was also reported

off contact or borrowed additional money as if he were giving

benefits such as discounts on rentals...
