Would you like lies with that? Tsatsaris allegedly promised to open McDonald's locations along the 407
Fourteen years after calling him a “real-life Santa Claus” for his work feeding the homeless, the Toronto Sun is reporting that restaurateur Peter Tsatsaris has been charged with three counts of fraud over $5,000 and 11 counts of uttering a forged document. Tsatsaris is alleged to have bilked investors out of money by convincing them they were buying McDonald’s restaurants along Highway 407 in Thornhill. One of the scam’s alleged victims, known only as “Robert,” claims to have lost $500,000 from January to May 2009. He called police after speaking directly with McDonald’s, who advised him he was one of “X number of persons” to call about Tsatsaris and he should go to the authorities. Between 1994 and 2004, Tsatsaris was linked to local restaurants The Strand, Wildfire Steakhouse and Mars Uptown.

Peter is owing me money and promised to give me back in full soon…..
November 27, 2011 at 7:58 am | by dominicI met Peter in 2009, then in December 2009 peter was charged. I was helping Peter. I was assuming that He is innocent until proven guilty. In return Peter defrauded me.I quees this is how Peter is saying thank you to his friends ( peter was calling me more than a friend-right now I understand that he was treating me as the source of the money he did not intend to return). Many people were warning me but I believed that there is something more in Peter. I was wrong.
The method he was using was that for example; His father is dying and he needs to pay the last instalment for the lot on cementary or that one of his sons got job at Fairmount hotel but the job is linked to his son being able to study at school but he did not have money to pay for his tuition or he was missing money to pay for his parents house insurance. His behaviour towards really bad because I did not want any interest on the money and he new that my financial situation was not the best at that time.
This is just warning if Peter did it to me. He will do it to anybody for any reason which will work on that person.If you consider Peter your friend you will lose your money, strain family relations and your health. If you choose to do business with Peter you will lose your money,health and may be your family.
February 10, 2012 at 9:42 am | by dominicIf anybody needs I can meet and told my story. If anybody needs a witness in the court I can testify. If somebody wants to confront Peter I can support this person.
Just leave a message and I will contact you.
