The primary source for one of Canada's most dramatic financial scandals: the 1965 collapse of Atlantic Acceptance Corporation, an Oakville-based finance company whose $65 million failure drew in institutional investors from Princeton University to the Ford Foundation, and whose dubious loan portfolio included financing for a mob-connected casino in the Bahamas. Among Atlantic Acceptance's more surprising holdings was a large stake in Commodore Business Machines, predecessor to the home computer giant. Chaired by Mr. Justice S.H.S. Hughes of the Ontario Supreme Court, the Royal Commission sat from 1966 to 1969 and produced this exhaustive four-volume report, a foundational document in Canadian securities regulation history, and a direct catalyst for the creation of the Canada Deposit Insurance Corporation.
