Heartlink head conned by evicted notorious con-man HeartLink Canada (1999) Inc HLC Shares issued 14,767,066 Apr 19 close $0.20 Tue 1 May 2001 Street Wire by Brent Mudry In one of the most embarrassing and intriguing scams to pop up on Howe Street in recent years, Robert Baldock, the head of Heartlink Canada, a Canadian Venture Exchange promotion which hopes to diagnose psychiatric patients through their heartbeats, handed over up to $200,000, including a brand-new Rolex, to notorious French con man Christopher Thiery Rocancourt, posing as an investor keen on pumping $5-million into Heartlink. Trading in shares of Heartlink was abruptly halted on April 23, six days after Mr. Baldock, an expatriate Australian stock promoter, figured out he had been conned by Mr. Rocancourt, using the aliases Michael VanHoven and Mikael VanHoven, and went to the police. Heartlink shares last traded at 20 cents, down from a brief peak of 65 cents last October just after the Calgary branch of brokerage Goepel McDermid took the company public in a $1.2-million offering of three million units at 40 cents. The RCMP caught up with Mr. Rocancourt, an international fugitive, last week in the Victoria area and arrested him in an 11:30 p.m. takedown Thursday in Oak Bay. Mr. Rocancourt, whose string of con victims includes fading Hollywood star Mickey Rourke, is wanted for the murder of two policemen in Switzerland and numerous fraud-related crimes in the United States. Stockwatch has learned, meanwhile, that Mr. Rocancourt and his wife Maria Reyes, a former Playboy star, were evicted for non-payment of rent from a luxury downtown Vancouver apartment while the pair were allegedly conning Mr. Baldock with grandiose tales of their significant wealth. The couple is believed to have rented suite 1801 at 1277 Nelson St. four or five months ago, but they were kicked out after two months for failing to pay rent.
