AVancouver man who pleaded guilty to violating public health orders after operating a makeshift nightclub inside his penthouse amid COVID-19 restrictions is back behind bars, police said.
Mo Movassaghi, 43, was arrested in January after Vancouver police were called to his penthouse home and found 78 people inside, along with menus, liquor, point-of-sale terminals, and multiple cash tills.
Police issued more than $17,000 in fines and said the suite appeared to be operating as a nightclub and show lounge, complete with a stripper pole.
He pleaded guilty in April to two counts of violating health orders and unlawfully keeping and selling liquor.
Movassaghi was sentenced to one day in jail after receiving credit for time served pre-sentence of 10 days.
He has also been ordered to pay $5,500 in fines and a $750 victim surcharge. He was also ordered to obey numerous court orders.

Police said Friday that Movassaghi began violating court orders in August by hosting more for-profit penthouse parties, prompting a second investigation.
He was arrested on Wednesday night and later pleaded guilty to two counts of failure to comply with an order of the health officer and one count of selling liquor.
He was sentenced to 29 days in custody, 12 months of probation, and a $10,000 fine.

The B.C. Director of Civil Forfeiture is trying to seize a downtown Vancouver penthouse owned by Mo Movassaghai, which was allegedly being used as an illegal nightclub. Rumina Daya reports.
The B.C. government is trying to seize a Vancouver penthouse that has allegedly been used as an after-hours nightclub in defiance of COVID-19 rules.
The province’s director of civil forfeiture has filed a claim for the penthouse belonging to 42-year-old Mo Movassaghi.
The claim details a string of police raids, beginning in January and happening as recently as late August, during which as many as 199 people were found in the suite, which was set up as a club.
On Jan. 31, police reported that they were called to the penthouse and found 78 people inside, along with menus, liquor, point-of-sale terminals, multiple cash tills and a stripper pole.
The civil claim alleges those events continued, despite Movassaghi being ticketed, arrested, charged and convicted for a string of violations.
Movassaghi was eventually sentenced to one day in jail and 18 months probation for violating a public health order and illegally purchasing grain alcohol. He was also ordered to pay $5,500 in fines and a $750 victim surcharge.
In June, the director of civil forfeiture filed a claim for $8,740 in cash seized by police when they raided the downtown condo in January.
As of Monday, the condo was listed for sale for $3.3 million.
None of the allegations has been proven in court and a statement of defence has not been filed.

Rep who forged client signature was not wrongfully dismissed, court finds
The rep was terminated by his firm after admitting to forgery
By: James Langton April 21, 202014:18
A British Columbia court has rejected a former rep’s claim that he was wrongfully dismissed by his firm after forging a client’s signature.
The Supreme Court of B.C. dismissed the claim brought by Mo Movassaghi against his former firm, Harbourfront Wealth Management Inc., which sought damages for wrongful dismissal.
According to the decision, Movassaghi was terminated by the firm in 2016 after it came to light that he forged a client’s signature on documents required to transfer her accounts from Movassaghi’s previous firm to Harbourfront.
“[The client] had indicated to Mr. Movassaghi that she intended to follow him to Harbourfront and transfer her accounts there. However, she had not yet signed the documents to effect the transfer. For reasons that Mr. Movassaghi thought justified him doing so, he forged [her] signature to liquidate and transfer her accounts at a time when he could not reach her,” the court noted.
After the client complained to the firm and Movassaghi admitted to the forgery, he was terminated.
The court found that Harbourfront was justified in terminating Movassaghi’s employment.
“Harbourfront operates in the financial services industry. Cornerstones of that industry are trust and acting with a client’s consent. Forging a client’s signature is fundamentally inconsistent with both of those,” the court said.
“In an industry where clients put their trust in financial services firms, Harbourfront must be able to put trust in its employees,” the court added, noting that the firm’s employment agreement, conduct manual and self-regulatory rules all demonstrate “the importance of obtaining consent of a client and the seriousness with which forgery is viewed.”
Ultimately, the court found that in this case, the “employment relationship was irreparably fractured,”and it rejected Movassaghi’s claim for wrongful dismissal.
But the court did find in favour of Harbourfront on a counterclaim seeking repayment of $5,000 in transition support, $8,587.54 in expenses and $1,163.20 in CPP contributions.
The court ordered that Movassaghi owed Harbourfront $14,750.74 — although the amount may be offset by $6,696.79 of insurance commissions that Movassaghi earned before being terminated.
