Sahak said that a lengthy and complex investigation followed, and that on Feb. 16, 2023 the B.C. Prosecution Service charged Steffensen with four counts of fraud over $5,000 and four counts of theft over $5,000. “The charges allege that the two businesses had been defrauded of a total of approximately $200,000,” Sahak said.
