Rolan Sokolovski, a 38-year-old jeweller and former professional poker player accused of serving as the 'de facto bank' for a violent criminal enterprise allegedly led by former Olympic snowboarder Ryan Wedding, has lost his bail review. Ontario's highest court upheld the earlier decision to deny his release, rejecting arguments based on a recent arthritis diagnosis and alleged errors in law. Sokolovski remains behind bars as the investigation into the criminal network continues.
