A Toronto lawyer and long-time ally of the Chinese government who was censured recently for allegedly misappropriating a half-million dollars from a client is facing more legal trouble and accusations of wrongdoing.

A second alleged victim charges in a lawsuit that Ping-Teng Tan failed to hand over $550,000 from the sale of the client’s house, before shutting down his law firm. A third person has accused Tan of “fraud, theft and misappropriation” for allegedly pocketing $216,000 of his money under similar circumstances.
