Small businesses in DOWNTOWN EAST TORONTO have stolen at least $1000 from me over the past 12 months.   That's the floor on the amount.

These "small businesses" all share backoffice support and marketing.

I would say lawyers have defrauded me of at least $25,000 over the past several years in a coordinated fraudulent scheme involving government workers and their friends.

If the investment advisor is worth their money (actually adds value) then it's not too much.   However, what I've seen in Canada and North America generally over the past five years or so involves rampant theft and fraud, so you have to wonder.
