Farmers lost $20-million on pigeon breeding operation
Closing arguments are set for Monday in the Pigeon King trial in Waterloo.
The defendant, Arlan Galbraith did not testify in his own defence and only called one witness to the stand in his defense.
Galbraith is facing fraud and bankruptcy act charges stemming from the closure of Waterloo-based Pigeon King International.
The business is alleged by police to have been a ponzi scheme with no end market for the thousands of birds that were bred, bought and sold.
Farmers who bought in lost a combined $20-million on the pigeons.
Galbraith, through questioning, has insisted he intended to set up a processing plant to turn the birds into meat for human consumption.
