A Toronto-area jeweller who is accused in the United States of laundering funds for a violent international drug-trafficking network allegedly run by former Canadian Olympic snowboarder Ryan Wedding testified Monday that he made substantial amounts of money from trading cryptocurrencies and playing poker.

Rolan Sokolovski, 37, appeared in a Toronto court on Monday as part of a hearing to determine whether he can be released on bail ahead of his extradition proceedings. He is pledging to post $2-million in bail.
