In 1996, Calvin Ayre reached a settlement without a hearing with the British Columbia Securities Commission for violations of the Securities Act, S.B.C. 1985, c. 83 {Link without Title} . The violations are in relation to Calvin Ayre's management of Bicer Medical Systems Ltd., in 1989, his first year out of university. Shortly after university, Ayre sold everything he owned and with $10,000 to his name he started the Bodog Group of Companies. Originally envisioning the creation of a software company, Ayre instead set out to create an organization and brand that could cross over into any industry: The Bodog Entertainment Group. Valued at over US $1 billion and ranked in the Power 25 online companies by EGaming Review , the Bodog Entertainment Group is now a mainstream, multi-channel business organization.
