The scheme was to get Nenshi to write a letter like this disclose it to the press that he was dealing with Russian dark money outside official channels.
Wallace in the Canadaland Rat####er podcast says something along the lines of he collects a lot of dirt on the people who use his services as well. So this appears to be Chiu giving Wallace evidence to blackmail him with in the future.
It didn’t matter if you could prove self enrichment it was the act of soliciting Russian business outside official channels that was supposed to sink Nenshi.
