Is there Rule of Law in Canada?

The Equibit Lawsuit.

The Lawsuits

Four Lawsuits. One Pattern.

What began as the destruction of a Canadian blockchain company has become a multi-year legal battle exposing infiltration, sabotage, judicial interference, and the systematic targeting of a private citizen reminiscent of the Stasi’s Zersetzung, a secret program used to psychologically torture thousands of East Germans.

These are the cases.

The Assassination of Equibit

Equibit Group sued the Attorney General of Canada, CSIS, and key individuals after a sophisticated entrapment operation involving the Ontario Securities Commission, the disappearance of a critical developer and code, and the collapse of the company. One defendant was noted in default and ordered to pay $1.7 million in damages — only for that judgment to later be overturned under highly controversial circumstances.

The Smear Campaign

After the regulatory attack failed to destroy Equibit founder Chris Horlacher, former associates launched a coordinated libel and code-theft campaign. The company and its founder filed suit against Christian Saucier and others for breach of fiduciary duty, misappropriation of intellectual property, conspiracy and defamation. The defendants’ own public GitHub records contradict their formal denials.

CSIS Officer Exposed

In July 2026, Equibit filed a Statement of Claim against Marc Godard, alleging he was the CSIS officer who first made contact with Equibit founder Chris Horlacher in 2011, embedded himself in the company, and later orchestrated a fraudulent hostile takeover attempt timed to obstruct discovery and terminate the second lawsuit. Godard has not responded to service and appears to have gone into hiding.

SEO Poisoning

Equibit Group Ltd. and Chris Horlacher have sued Nathan Wosnack and Ubitquity, LLC in the Ontario Superior Court of Justice. The claim alleges the Defendants registered and operated impersonation websites at equibit.io and equibit.net, using knowledge Wosnack acquired as a former director and officer of Equibit. The Plaintiffs seek damages, injunctive relief, transfer of the domains, and a Norwich order.

Rest In Peace

Redmond Weissenberger

1975 – 2025

In Memoriam

Redmond Weissenberger founded the Ludwig von Mises Institute of Canada in 2011 and served as its Executive Director and Chairman. He built the organization from the ground up to fill a clear gap in Canadian intellectual life: the near-total absence of serious, institutional advocacy for the Austrian School of economics, sound money, private property, and non-interventionist principles.

Under his leadership Mises Canada organized scholars’ conferences, launched an academic journal (The Journal of Prices & Markets), published analysis, and created a platform for Canadian students and professionals to engage with the ideas of Mises, Rothbard, and Hoppe. Redmond brought to the work both practical experience as an industrial designer and a deep personal commitment to understanding the real causes of boom-and-bust cycles. Chris Horlacher served alongside him from the early stages as Vice-Chairman and Treasurer, contributing financial and operational expertise while the Institute was still finding its feet.

The progressive derailment of Redmond’s life and the effective neutralization of the Institute he built occurred over the same multi-year period in which Equibit Group was infiltrated, sabotaged, and driven into prolonged legal warfare. Both men were engaged in projects that challenged prevailing monetary and regulatory orthodoxy in Canada. Both saw their institutional efforts systematically undermined. Redmond died in Budapest on 12 March 2025.

His story is not peripheral. It is another documented node in a wider pattern of disruption directed at independent voices and institutions that refused to remain silent.

The full examination of the circumstances surrounding Redmond Weissenberger, the fate of Mises Canada, and the temporal overlap with the campaign against Equibit is set out here:

What’s At Stake?

The Rule of Law Is Being Dismantled in Real Time

When the government is caught, it does not settle. It changes the rules — or simply destroys them.

In the CSIS case, the Attorney General filed a Statement of Defence 13 months late. The Office of the Information Commissioner later issued a final report that directly contradicts key claims in that defence, confirming that CSIS was withholding relevant records, including information received from foreign partners and evidence of ongoing operations against Equibit and its founder.

Reply to the Defense 2

Separately, a default judgment obtained against a key defendant was set aside by Justice Merritt in a decision so flawed it is now the subject of a formal investigation by the Canadian Judicial Council. The same court system that demands strict compliance from ordinary litigants has repeatedly refused to apply its own Rules of Civil Procedure to the Crown.

This is no longer just about one company or one man. It is about whether Canadian courts and oversight bodies will continue to function as an independent check on state power — or whether they will become instruments for protecting intelligence agencies from accountability.

If this stands, any Canadian who challenges the state can expect the same treatment.

What Can You Do?

Silence Protects Them. Exposure Protects Us.

The only thing that has ever forced movement in this case is public attention. Every share, every email, every person who learns the timeline makes it harder for the institutions involved to keep pretending nothing is happening.

ABOUT THE FOUNDER

Chris Horlacher

Executive Director, Equibit Group Ltd.

CPA/CA

CFA Level I

CSI PDO

CSI CFO

Chris Horlacher is a Chartered Professional Accountant (CPA, CA) and the founder of Equibit Group Ltd. He holds Canadian Securities Institute certifications (including the Chief Financial Officers and Partners, Directors and Senior Officers designations) and completed CFA Level I.

He began his career in audit and assurance at Deloitte, working with Fortune 500 companies, major pension funds, and other large institutional clients. Before the age of 30 he was appointed Chief Financial Officer of an IIROC-regulated securities dealer — an unusually early appointment in the Canadian securities industry. He later founded Equibit Group, leading the design of blockchain infrastructure for the issuance and peer-to-peer transfer of securities, and previously served as Vice-Chairman and Treasurer of the Mises Institute of Canada.
As a teenager he was a multiple-award-winning Chief Warrant Officer First Class of 826 Gryphon Squadron and a graduate of the Royal Canadian Air Cadets’ Survival Instructor Course — one of the most demanding courses in the program. The multi-week course includes intensive field training, navigation, instructional qualifications, and a prolonged solo survival exercise in which candidates must endure several nights in the wilderness with no human contact. The resilience forged in that environment has proven essential in the years that followed.
 

Chris fled Canada in 2021, settling in Mexico with his wife and two children. He is the principal responsible for the public documentation of the Equibit Group proceedings on this site.
