A preliminary hearing into the largest fraud case in Waterloo Region history was held over for another day.

Daniel Reeve was charged last fall with several fraud-related offences.

Police began investigating Reeve’s investment practices, including DPR Financial and Jakobstettle Inn, in 2009.

His preliminary hearing was slated to begin Monday, but was moved to Tuesday after the judge in the case took ill.

In court Monday, Reeve was wearing a sweatshirt and blue jeans. He appeared shaven and stoic.

Reeve is accused of bilking 175 victims out of $30 million.

His trial isn’t expected to begin until 2014.

“With a case like this where you’re dealing with matters of a financial matter … there’s always a lot of documentation, a lot of paperwork that’s involved,” Reeve’s lawyer, Mary Cremer, told CTV.

There is a publication ban in place for the preliminary hearing.
