Summary:
The claimant is alleged to have been self-employed while receiving benefits. He is alleged to have had gross self-employment earnings of $486,872.00 in his 2004 filed income tax return. During the period from November 16, 2003 to September 4, 2004 he was in receipt of Employment Insurance benefits. I need not confirm, one cannot receive benefits while receiving employment income and earnings. The claimant alleges he made the wrong decision by allowing his name to be used. He further claims no money was directly paid by him in the purchase of the assets; the transaction had to be completed under compulsion of time and he was only accommodating a relative. The Commission submits such a story is not believable. It alleges he was the contact person for the business concerned, he signed and verified all the cheques issued and made the purchase on behalf of the business. This appeal is dismissed.
