Frank Caruso

Francesco "Frank" Caruso (b. 10 October 1970 in Vancouver) is a Canadian investor, entrepreneur and developer who owns several restaurants, hotels, malls and other hospitality and service businesses, a construction and property development company, and multiple commercial and residential properties; most of his businesses, properties and other investments are based in the American and Canadian Pacific Northwest and to a lesser extent in Southern California. His net worth is estimated at CAD$227.8 million. Caruso is alleged to have close ties with local organised crime, specifically the Auditore crime family, the Pacific Northwest's preeminent mafia family, for whom it is alleged Caruso acts as a "clean man", investing Auditore money in property and legitimate businesses at a level which its members would not themselves be able to do due to various factors including notoriety, asset seizures and the criminal records of some of its leaders.
