Montréal - Albert Barbusci and the firm Cadence Holdings inc. were recently ordered to pay fines totalling $60,000 at the Montréal courthouse after pleading guilty to the charges brought against them by the Autorité des marchés financiers ("AMF") related to distributions of Biotonix inc. shares without a prospectus.
