根据他的律师的说法，约翰·阿基诺（John Aquino）是一名专业和现在破产的安大略省建筑承包商，计划上诉省级法院的裁决，该裁决使他和他的同事们以2620万美元的价格从公司中耗尽了2620万美元。

安大略省上诉法院于3月10日维持了先前的法院裁决，该裁决命令邦德菲尔德建筑有限公司前总统和其他被告阿基诺通过破产法院据称是欺诈性的，以偿还公司从公司中提取的数千万美元发票计划涉及没有办公室且没有运营的壳牌公司。

恩斯特（Ernst＆Young）进行的调查发现，从邦德菲尔德（Bondfield）向其中几家壳牌公司付款，从未做过工作，其中一些钱最终最终得到了阿基诺（Aquino）。

In its ruling, the appeals court rejected an argument by the defendants, which cited the complexities of bankruptcy law.

Aquino did not challenge the assertion the invoices were bogus. However, his attorney argued that the lower court was mistaken in declaring him and the associates responsible for payments to the shell companies, when Bondfield and an affiliated firm, Forma-Con Construction, were in fact the ultimate debtors.

根据代表受托人在破产案件的律师律师事务所的律师的一篇文章，上诉法院的裁决归结为彼得·劳沃斯（Peter Lauwers）大法官“重新塑造”此案的关键问题。

“Who should bear responsibility for the fraudulent acts of a company's directing mind that are done within the scope of his or her authority – the fraudsters or the creditors?," Lauwers wrote.

S. Michael Citak, a partner at Gardiner Roberts in Toronto and Aquino’s lawyer, said his client plans to appeal to the Supreme Court of Canada.
“The Court of Appeal’s decision raises several novel and important issues that would significantly benefit from review by the Supreme Court,” Citak said in an email. He did not respond to a request for additional details.
