My regular client was a friend of him(he passed away). He told me: He is a gambler who likes to play high stakes slot machines. But he likes to play without any disturbance. If you sitting next to him, he just give you 100$ to leave him alone. This guy has a style.

Not sure about the $100 to leave him alone, but he is a notorious gambler.

I remember the time he was shot in the foot during a robbery. he owes a friend of mine $56000 from a loan that he did not repay. Russell kept putting off payments then my friend died

I was going to say I saw him at Woodbine Casion once, a huge ton of bills in his hands.

How can he call himself The Cashman if he's enslaved to the one armed bandito? Eventually Richard Simmons comes a callin.

Just because your friend passed away doesn't mean Oliver stops owing him money. His Estate should be repaid. Was it a proper documented loan?

He still has various stores throughout the GTA...as everyone says, gold and cash is king so this guy will not go out of business but his gambling would be his downfall if he doesn't manage it...

Really , a Toronto icon ???????

He is one of countless TV /radio pitchman. I wouldn't know him if I aat next to him nor do I give any shit if you pointed him out.

That reminds me. Whatever happened to the old pawn shops?
I heard some ladies pay back in kind (not cash).

Is he running for Toronto Mayor?

Toronto Icon ? more like Toronto scumbag . He was busted back in the day for knowingly buying stolen jewelry to stock his store shelves. Dirt ball Oliver pays pennies on the dollar to anyone desperate enough to step foot in his store with gold to sell. Its more profitable for him to melt it down.

K Douglas my friend was a loan shark and Russel said that because he went bankrupt he did not have to pay him

When I was about 16 or so I tried to sell him a diamond ring that I 'found'. He claimed it was fake and offered me a few bucks for the gold. I knew it was real and went downtown and sold it for a few hundred bucks. Still got ripped off but not by him. That was when he only had the one shop on Eglinton West near Avenue Road. He is the biggest POS I've ever had the misfortune to meet.

*Before anyone starts going on about how you have to be 18 to sell to a pawn shop, I had a cousin with me who was old enough and he was going to use his ID*
