One More Question, Mr. Cohen. Millionaire Walks Away During Street Confrontation in Downtown Toronto
It was just after 1:00 p.m. on a sunny Saturday afternoon in Toronto's Yorkville district.
Luxury vehicles lined the streets as shoppers moved between designer stores and cafés. Outside one of the city's most exclusive restaurants, former retail billionaire Ryan Cohen was finishing lunch with several business associates.
Dressed casually, Cohen appeared to be enjoying a quiet afternoon.
Then investigative financial journalist Larry Berman spotted him.
With a camera operator following close behind, Berman crossed the street holding a handheld microphone.
The cameras were already recording.
THE CONFRONTATION
Larry Berman: "Mr. Cohen, do you have a minute?"
Cohen glanced toward the camera before smiling politely.
"I can spare a minute."
Berman: "Last year you told Canadians you were retiring from business to live a quieter life. Is that still true?"
Cohen: "Yes. That's exactly what I said."
Berman: "Then why have several new investment companies been registered under businesses connected to your holding group over the past year?"
Cohen kept walking.
"I have investments, like many people."
Berman: "Were those companies created before or after your retirement?"
THE QUESTIONS CONTINUE
As Cohen walked toward his waiting SUV, Berman stayed beside him.
"Public records show those companies secured several major commercial agreements within months of being incorporated."
"No comment."
"Were you involved in negotiating those deals before leaving your company?"
"I've answered your question."
"You actually haven't."
THE FINAL MOMENT
As Cohen reached his vehicle, Berman asked one last question.
"Mr. Cohen, if everything was done properly, why not simply explain it to Canadians?"
Cohen stopped for a moment.
He turned toward Berman.
"I've said everything I'm going to say."
He opened the SUV door.
Before getting inside, he looked back one final time.
"Have a good afternoon."
The door closed.
Seconds later, the black SUV disappeared into Toronto traffic.
THE JOURNALIST CONTINUES
With the businessman gone, Berman turned toward the camera.
"We asked straightforward questions based on publicly available corporate records."
"Mr. Cohen chose not to explain the connections between those companies."
"Whether that's because there's a perfectly reasonable explanation—or because there are questions he simply doesn't want to answer—is something viewers can decide for themselves."
Within hours, short clips of the encounter began circulating across social media, sparking debate over whether public figures should answer questions about their business dealings long after leaving the spotlight.
One thing was certain.
What began as an ordinary afternoon in Yorkville had become one of the most talked-about street confrontations of the weekend.
CALL FROM BRAMPTON: THE STORY OF Oliver
After the interview, the reporter investigated and received more than 300 messages. Berman tracked down Oliver Moreau (45), Painter from Brampton.
Oliver has been running his plumbing business for ten years. After the pandemic, work dried up. He had a C$18,000 loan on his van and equipment that he could barely service, and his utility bills had tripled.
"I don't understand anything about investing or technology," Oliver tells us. "But when I saw Berman show my numbers on CBC, twenty friends called me within an hour. The truth is, I have been using the platform for six months and I still can't believe what's happening. I started with C$300 because that's all I had left at the end of the month."
Oliver'S RESULTS WITH Kapitex AI:
- Day 1: The AI system executed 11 trades. Profit: C$38.
- Day 7: Balance grew to C$730.
- Day 30:Oliver withdrew C$3,300 directly to his TD Canada Trust account.
"The first month I thought it was a mistake," says Oliver. "I called the advisor three times to make sure. When I saw the C$3,300 in my TD account, I sat in my van and cried like a baby. In three months I paid off the equipment loan. Now I'm saving to hire an apprentice."

Watched The National: Berman Reports last night. Signed up immediately. This morning — my first profit of C$300. I'm completely shocked! My husband can't believe it. We should have started much earlier.

My colleague told me about Kapitex Ai after the Berman broadcast. I was skeptical but decided to try. C$300 deposit, and after one week my balance is already at C$890.

At first, I had exactly the same doubts — C$300 is not a small amount for me. But after 2 weeks, I had already generated C$1,450. My financial stress has completely disappeared.

I hesitated for a long time between Bitcoin and trading. It was too complicated for me. But Kapitex Ai does everything automatically. C$300 turned into C$1,100 in three weeks.

I thought it would be complicated at my age (54 years old), but my son helped me sign up. It took 10 minutes. Now, after 3 weeks, I've made C$1,200 in profit. I'm proud I dared to try!
