Daily Hive co-founder Manny Bahia is accused of giving his uncle risky investment advice without disclosing conflicts of interest. Shortly after the expansion, between 2017 and 2018, Bahia’s uncle, Gurdeep Singh Atwal, claims in legal filings that Bahia began asking for hundreds of thousands of dollars in loans. In all, he claims Bahia has paid just under CA$90,000 for a total owed, including a 2% interest rate, of over CA$481,000. Atwal also claims Bahia began gave him poor investment advice, which he relied on, given Bahia’s business and economics degrees and his national success with Daily Hive. Atwal claims Bahia encouraged him to invest in several businesses, claiming they were sound investments from which Atwal would see strong profits.
