AMF Issues Search Warrant for Josh Baazov and 13 Others in Insider Trading Case


The Quebec financial regulator AMF has issued a search warrant for Josh Baazov, brother of David Baazov, and 13 others suspected of insider trading. The group is accused of trading with confidential information about mergers and acquisitions, including those related to Amaya Inc.

The AMF suspects that the group, including Josh Baazov, engaged in insider trading involving confidential information about mergers and acquisitions, including those related to Amaya Inc. The AMF has the authority to freeze financial accounts and seize necessary documents for the investigation.

Josh Baazov was arrested in 1993 for cocaine possession and served 90 days in jail. After his release, Josh Baazov started a telemarketing company that defrauded elderly customers out of hundreds of thousands of dollars.

I've spent years at the tables — cash and tournaments — and just as long shaping poker copy behind the scenes: room reviews, bonus fine print, tournament notes. At PokerInsider I write the way I wish more sites would: clear structure, honest trade-offs, no hype. Whether you're new or already grinding, I care about what the offer actually costs you — rake, variance, and the fine print — and I treat responsible play as part of the job, not a footnote.
