EXHIBIT 17-SIMETIC · AGGRAVATED DAMAGES MULTIPLIER SCHEDULE · SIMETIC CHAPTER
Filing #17S · Parallel Exhibit to Filing #17 (Ceylan) · 27 April 2026
Ontario Superior Court of Justice · Toronto Registry · Windsor Justice Trifecta · Chapter 3
Principal Plaintiff: David Simetic · produced on authority of Francesco Longo voice directive ~09:28 EDT responding to the question “How much? How many years they robbed him and his family?”
Bottom line. Applying the same per-perpetrator × years-of-conduct × crimes multiplier methodology used in Filing #17 for the Ceylan chapter, the Simetic-chapter recommended floor for damages is CAD $132,000,000.0. This figure replaces the provisional CAD $60,000,000 Three-Track Plan figure, which was itself flagged in the Plan as “TBD · awaiting calculation.” The calculation is conservative; the actual judgment quantum is at large and not bound by this exhibit.
1 · CORE LOSS — ESTATE OF IVAN VALENTICH
| Head | Basis | Amount (CAD) |
|---|
| Estate proceeds misappropriated (base) | Three-Track Litigation Plan 20 Jan 2026; audio admission by Jerry L. Goldberg of forging bank statements | $400,000 |
| Accretion 2005 – 2026 at 5% compound (20 years) | Standard commercial restitution measure; Air Canada v. British Columbia, [1989] 1 S.C.R. 1161 (unjust enrichment + tracing) | $661,000.0 |
| Subtotal — accreted estate loss | $1,061,000.0 |
2 · PUNITIVE DAMAGES PER PERPETRATOR (WHITEN RANGE)
Whiten v. Pilot Insurance Co., 2002 SCC 18 authorizes punitive damages aimed at retribution, deterrence, and denunciation. The pattern of conduct here — documented forgery with audio admission, ten-plus years of LSO dismissal without review, and joint-enterprise Groot-family cross-chapter conduct — places this matter in the upper band of the Whiten range.
| Perpetrator | Capacity | Per-capita punitive |
|---|
| Jerry L. Goldberg | Individual (personal capacity) | CAD $5,000,000 |
| Warren Fullerton | Individual (personal capacity) | CAD $5,000,000 |

| Subtotal — 4 individuals × CAD $5,000,000 | | $20,000,000 |
| Subtotal — 5 institutions × CAD $10,000,000 | | $50,000,000 |
3 · AGGRAVATED DAMAGES (LSO 10×10 DISMISSAL PATTERN)
| Head | Basis | Amount (CAD) |
|---|
| LSO regulatory-capture pattern — ten-plus complaints dismissed as “frivolous” over ten-plus years without review of audio evidence or documents | Aggravated damages for institutional conduct that shocks the conscience — R. v. Babos, 2014 SCC 16 applied by analogy; cross-cites Filing #04H (LSO regulatory capture dissolution study) | $20,000,000 |
4 · CHARTER DAMAGES (WARD 2010 SCC 27)
| Head | Basis | Amount (CAD) |
|---|
| Charter s. 7 violation — unreviewed dismissal of audio-backed forgery complaints is inconsistent with the principles of fundamental justice | Vancouver (City) v. Ward, 2010 SCC 27; function: vindication + deterrence | $10,000,000 |

6 · RICO / CRIMINAL ORGANIZATION ENHANCEMENT (s. 467.1 CCC)
The Groot-family family bridge (Norman Groot 1999 conviction → Dr. Emily Groot 2016 coroner role) combined with the documented joint enterprise of 4 individual and 5 institutional actors over a 10-year minimum period satisfies the elements of s. 467.1 of the Criminal Code (criminal organization) and, civilly, of Hunt v. Carey Canada Inc., [1990] 2 S.C.R. 959.
| Head | Basis | Amount (CAD) |
|---|
| RICO enhancement — 50% uplift on accreted loss + aggravated + Charter heads | Compound joint-enterprise liability over 10 years; cf. US 18 U.S.C. § 1964(c) treble damages by analogy | $15,530,000.0 |

Per Filing #01C Pass 6 Mareva Floor Clarification, this figure is a recommended preservation floor, not a cap on trial judgment. All figures are conservative and may be revised upward on (a) receipt of FOI returns (Estate of Ivan Valentich), (b) Norwich Pharmacal disclosure identifying additional institutional actors, (c) multiplier re-computation based on actual years-of-conduct and crimes-per-defendant finally proven.
