Heheh, I am a slow typist, while I was typing, cavit8 posted----->the guy who owns a pawn shop near me drives a Hummer and a 740iL BMW, there is a lot of money in these types of businesses. They are all cash and they are all under the radar. The people whom they purchase the goods from prefer it that way and the pawn shop owners prefer it that way, it is a very shady business.

Granted, Igor was allegedly offering crack for bikes, which is a whole other level of shady but he did this for a long time and when he bought these properties, Toronto was a very different place. That spot on Queen across from the park was bought in 1995 for $85K which isn't very much money at all. He probably only needed $15K of his own to get the loan, any one of us could purchase a piece of property in Toronto for $85K, if such a thing existed anymore.
