There's no way to know for sure because these are all secret charges (Deputy Prime Minister Chrystia Freeland said she would not give "specifics of whose accounts are being frozen." -- https://www.newsweek.com/banks-have-begun-freezing-accounts-... ).

But there are some example of people who have come forth: https://www.visiontimes.com/2022/02/21/canadians-frozen-bank...

Not knowing anything about the Vision Times, a quick search:

> Vision Times is one of the news organizations that Falun Gong's founder Li Hongzhi refers to as "our media".[1] The newspaper's president is the spokesperson for the Falun Dafa Association in New York, and is chair of another Falun Gong group called Quit the CCP.[1] In 2021, The Atlantic called Vision Times a "doppelgänger site" of The Epoch Times.[5]

None of the donating people mentioned in that article have come forth, if they had done we'd have some evidence it happened.
