Buffalo, N.Y. (WBEN) - The Ontario Securities Commission is asking for a court order in Erie County as it looks to collect $15 million CAD owed by Buffalo Grand Hotel owner Harry Stinson to lenders tied to the hotel's redevelopment. Business First reports the initial ruling against Stinson came in 2023, stating the hotel owner failed to keep accurate records and engaged in unauthorized trading of securities, among other violations. Stinson has yet to pay any of that debt. The Buffalo Grand has been closed since 2021 and Stinson remains in a battle with the city over possession of the property.
