Man Sues Canada for $100M Over Shattered Porn Dreams

TORONTO—How Canada sleeps at night is anyone's guess. The great nation to our north is in the news for having dashed the dreams of one Tony Marcu, a dual citizen of Canada and Romania who is suing the former for $100 million for undermining his plan to become a wealthy pornographer. You read that correctly.

According to the Toronto Sun, “The Great Canadian Male star wanted to take his talents to Europe and make it big. Instead, the unemployed porn actor is back in Toronto, collecting welfare and living in a rooming house, and he blames the [Royal Canadian Mounted Police] for their 10-month delay in issuing him the police clearance he needed to open his adult film business in Romania.”


Apparently, in order to incorporate a business in Romania, a background check is required. In Marcu's case, that meant two background checks, one for each country. He began the process while living in Romania with his wife and son, where he decided that his job as a bank manager was keeping him from his true destiny as a porn mogul.

“His Romanian police clearance took two days,” reported the Sun. “The RCMP website warned their wait time was 12 weeks and outlined the steps necessary—all of which Marcu says he followed.”

Instead of three months, however, the RCMP took shy of a year to process, during which time Marcu was unable to start his business and going through his savings like a drunken sailor in a strange port. Marcu had planned to open an “e-commerce-based company that imports sex health products from Canada, sex toys and ice wine, along with the production of adult films, sales and erotic massage services,” but by the time the clearance came through it was too late; the window of opportunity had closed for good.

“It's too much,” he said. “You're losing customers, you miss the business opportunity, you lose the potential profit.”

He returned to Toronto, a bitter man with a score to settle. “He now spends his days at the local library,” said the Sun, “using the computer to search for acting parts in the local adult film industry.”

And waiting for the millions owed him.

It's too bad Canuck land doesn't have a loser pays law on suits like this.

@steve229,

Our Horsemen may be slow but 'they always get their man'.

I have even had a visit from a horseman to the camp. He was checking for unregistered firearms; everything kosher with my operation.

Wow, there is apparently a lot more money in Romanian porn than I would have thought.

I can see his point about the delay. If they say that you should get your results in 12 weeks then they aught to do it. Maybe he should get some compensation for the extra 40 weeks if it took them that long. But not $100 million!

Everyone else get's fined if they don't file their papers on time, why not the government when it runs late?
