Vucicevich said earlier this week that the RCMP officers who questioned him -- Sgt. Darrell Nay and Cpl. Gordon Aristotle -- said they were part of a joint intelligence unit that works with the Ontario Securities Commission. Reached Wednesday in Toronto, Nay had no comment.
Vucicevich said he told the officers he had no objection if they sent the results of the interview to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (OSC) since Sulja Brothers is incorporated in Nevada.

Mr. XXXXXXXX (Investor Advocate Blacked Out for Legal Reasons):
This e-mail is in response to your recent phone call.
The IMET program has been specifically designed to focus on recent large capital market criminal infractions. We have been resourced in order to bring significant resources to bear on individual cases. That being said, we have a limited amount of cases that we take on and case selection follows an established protocol. Our investigations generally focus on issues within publicly traded companies. Thus the clear link between our mandate and IMET devoting resources to such cases as Royal Group or Nortel. I am sure you can appreciate that the RCMP IMET must be strategic in selecting cases of this nature to work on. I should also add that nothing the RCMP does limits any other police agency (ie. OPP, Toronto Police) from conducting a fraud investigation if the alleged offence has a nexus in their jurisdiction.
Our cases generally come from referrals from regulators or SRO's and some of our larger cases have come to us in that manner. Unless the matters you are concerned about are referred to the RCMP IMET through one of our participating agencies (OSC, IDA, MFDA,MRS) it will not be considered for investigation.
Yours truly,
Supt. Craig S. Hannaford
