On July 31, 2026, Equibit Group Ltd. filed a Statement of Claim (Court File #: CV-26-00015305-0000) in the Ontario Superior Court of Justice against Marc Godard.
The claim names Godard as a central actor in a multi-year campaign of infiltration, corporate sabotage, and continued interference directed at Equibit Group and its principal. It details how Godard first made contact in 2011, embedded himself inside the company, later orchestrated a fraudulent hostile takeover attempt timed to discovery proceedings in the related CSIS litigation, and has continued efforts to maintain influence and obstruct accountability.
Core Allegations
The Statement of Claim sets out, among other matters:
- Godard’s early introduction through mutual networks and his progressive assumption of greater responsibility, including a period as acting CEO.
- His sudden departure after a fundraising round, the incorporation of Token List Inc. approximately one month before that resignation, and his subsequent return following the disappearance of another key developer.
- The 2025 hostile takeover effort, including coordinated actions with Nathan Wosnack, the circulation of resolutions intended to remove Equibit’s executive leadership, and attempts to force the abandonment of existing litigation.
- Technical intrusions and information operations alleged to have occurred in close temporal proximity to scheduled discovery steps in the CSIS matter.
- Ongoing attempts to re-establish contact and exert influence after earlier relationships had been severed.
The pleading seeks declarations, damages, and related relief for breach of fiduciary duty, conspiracy, tortious interference with economic relations, and other causes of action. It also lays the foundation for ancillary relief, including consideration of asset-preservation measures.
Service and Evasion
Equibit Group made multiple attempts to effect personal service on Godard at addresses known to be associated with him and his operations. At each location the response was the same: the individuals present claimed they did not know who Marc Godard was. Given the addresses involved, it is highly probable that process servers spoke with Godard’s wife, Shannon.
Lying to a process server is not a trivial matter. In Ontario, deliberately providing false information to obstruct service can support findings of evasion, justify alternative service orders, and, in appropriate circumstances, attract cost consequences or further procedural sanctions. Courts take a dim view of parties who actively frustrate the orderly progress of litigation.
This pattern is not new. It closely resembles the conduct of Christian Saucier, who similarly became difficult to locate after the second lawsuit was commenced and has never filed a Statement of Defence. The parallel is difficult to ignore.
Asset Movement and Fraudulent Conveyance
There is reason to believe Godard may already have relocated, or may be preparing to relocate, significant assets to the Cayman Islands, where he once provided IT services to a client there. Any transfer of assets made with the intent to defeat, hinder, or delay creditors constitutes a fraudulent conveyance.
Cayman Islands law, supervised by the Cayman Islands Monetary Authority, does not provide a safe harbor for transfers designed to frustrate legitimate Canadian court processes. Both civil remedies (setting aside the transfers, tracing, and recovery) and, in serious cases, criminal liability for fraud or related offences remain available. Attempts to place assets beyond the reach of an Ontario judgment are unlikely to succeed once the nature of the transfers is established.
Place in the Broader Litigation
This filing constitutes the third distinct but complementary prong of Equibit’s legal response:
- The original action against CSIS and related parties (the regulatory and personnel sabotage phase).
- The action against Christian Saucier and associates (the 2019 code-forking and libel phase).
- The present action against Marc Godard (the containment, continued interference, and accountability phase).
Each action reinforces the others. Evidence developed in one proceeding is relevant to the remaining two. The public record on equibitlawsuit.com continues to document the full sequence of events.
The Statement of Claim is now a matter of public record. Further procedural steps, including any motions arising from the service difficulties, will follow in due course. Equibit Group will continue to report developments as they occur.
Readers seeking additional context are directed to the existing reporting on Godard’s profile, the hostile takeover attempt, and the related technical intrusions.
The pursuit of justice just escalated significantly.
