Nick Vachon is a giant douchebag. I hope he gets caught arrested and put in jail for about a month so he can get anally raped without any lube.
I remember when that guy was promoting here in Ottawa and he always had this giant douchy attitude about him. Like his smells of roses or something. And then when Heaven got bought out to be replaced with Mansion he was taking over as manager of Mansion. I remeber over hearing him say, "if Heaven was full every weekend this wouldnt have happened." Even though Heaven was full most Saturday nights and over packed when a good DJ was in town.
Way to ing ruin what was a very good stepping stone for Ottawa you selfish sucking moron :whip: |
I am amused and yet slightly aroused reading this :) |

OTTAWA — Nick Vachon, the co-founder of the Escapade Music Festival wanted for stealing the proceeds from the festival, has been found by police in Aruba.
Vachon, 26, appeared in court Wednesday to be formally charged with theft over $5,000 and possession over $5,000.
The balding and heavyset Vachon appeared in court by video with his hands cuffed in front of him Wednesday.
Vachon said little more than his name during the brief appearance.
He was remanded in custody until Friday, when he will appear again by video from jail.
Vachon was one of the partners in DNA Presents who staged the Escapade Music Festival at Ottawa Stadium June 30 and July 1. After the festival, proceeds from ticket and liquor sales amounting to about $600,000 went missing.
Police issued a warrant for his arrest and a rental vehicle that Vachon had used was later found at Pierre Elliott Trudeau Airport in Montreal.
Vachon was arrested in Oranjestad, Aruba, and waived his right to contest his extradition.
Members of the Ottawa police travelled to Aruba and took custody of the Vachon. He was brought back to Ottawa on Aug. 14 with the assistance of the RCMP Air Services Unit.
More to come.

10 years.
Section 334 of the Criminal Code:
Punishment for theft
334. Except where otherwise provided by law, every one who commits theft
(a) is guilty of an indictable offence and liable to imprisonment for a term not exceeding ten years, where the property stolen is a testamentary instrument or the value of what is stolen exceeds five thousand dollars; or
(b) is guilty
(i) of an indictable offence and is liable to imprisonment for a term not exceeding two years, or
(ii) of an offence punishable on summary conviction,
where the value of what is stolen does not exceed five thousand dollars. |

| If he's smart, he will park his ass somewhere in the Caribbean for a few years. I know someone who ripped off people for over $7 million, back in the late 90s and he still free. Plus he setup telemarketing scams years back, got caught but never went to prison. It is interesting how the system works. |
