Bevan Jones, the brother of the West Island financial consultant suspected of bilking investors out of up to $50 million, says he's devastated to be one of Earl Jones's alleged victims.
"I don't know how it happened. Everything was going great," Jones told CTV News in a telephone interview.
Earl Jones, who disappeared sometime last week, allegedly defrauded some 150 clients -- including several family members and close friends -- out of their life savings.
Bevan Jones can't believe it.
"The money was there. We cruised a lot. We travelled a lot. Now that's coming to an end. There's no money in the bank to go cruising," said Jones.
Last week, Jones celebrated his 70th birthday. For the first time in his life, he didn't receive a call from his brother.
"I haven't seen him or heard from him at all. I don't know where he is," he said.
Jones said he has a message for his brother:
"I love you. I love you and come back."
