Robert Miller

Personal life Miller claims to have come from "sparse beginnings" with his father David Miller having owned an antique store, sold cars, retail groceries and other careers. and was arrested alongside and repeatedly named as an associate of mobster Harry Ship who was under the Cotroni crime family. In 1973, his father David Miller was named as a "mafia boss" in Montreal , alongside William Obront, Frank D'Asti, Nicholas Diorio, Vincent Soccio and David Laff. As of 2010, he continued to serve as Master of Ceremonies in annual rock concerts for his employees, with headliners including Bryan Adams and Peter Cetera. When his corporate hockey team was struggling, he convinced NHL veterans Stephane Matteau and Donald Audette to come play for a tournament. In 1967, Robert Miller was arrested alongside his father running an illegal gambling outfit in Calgary, Alberta just days before Robert's wedding; they paid $10,000 in bail and flew to Montreal for the wedding.

On Dec 3 1967, Miller married Margaret Josephine Antonier a advertising executive at the Montreal radio stations CJAD and CJFM and real estate developer. Miller and Antonier had two sons, Frederick and Rodney. Miller acquired his Westmount home from Seagram co-chair Charles Bronfman in 1984 for $2.65 million in what was at the time the second most expensive sale of a residence in Canada. The house was designed by architect Richard Weinstein, and featured an indoor/outdoor pool, a climate-controlled furs storage unit, auxiliary generator and wine cellar.

In 1984, Miller erected a $100,000 16' satellite dish in his new garden, leading his neighbours George and Ginger Petty to file for an injunction alleging it was "more fitting for a military base than residential Westmount", and it was held to not be legal. Miller relented and installed a 10' satellite dish in 1986, which a neighbour testified looked "like a strategic military air command base on full-alert" In 1989, he then erected a 32' "accessory building" on his property housing the larger 16' satellite dish and returned to Court as the Pettys filed again. Miller's legal team included Gordon Kugler of Kandestin Kugler, Bill Brock and Guy Laverge from Phillips and Vineberg and Stephen Segal lawyer from Future Electronics. Miller does not allow his photo to be taken, and has asked for no voice recordings, citing security and a desire for privacy. His house is blurred on Google Maps, and his two private jets have their flightpaths removed from public view.

In 1995, Miller purchased the abandoned 12-storey Roche facility, once hoped to bring pharmaceutical industry to Vaudreuil-Dorion. Several floors were used by Future Electronics until 2008.

He notes a very close relationship, transcending business, with the Polish-Jew Felix Zandman who also ran an electionics company.

He is noted to have been generous with employees and their children, and to have "helped in the development" of professional tennis player Greg Rusedski and NHL forward Martin Lapointe in addition to mentoring "prominent politicians, academics and business people around the world",

Cryonics In 2001, Miller's donations to secure cryonics services from Alcor triggered a regulatory crisis as Arizona did not permit Alcor to obtain more than a certain percentage of its total funding from a single individual donor as Miller had done.

In 2022, he registered the "Future Cryonics Foundation" in the United States to fund Alcor and when the child prostitution allegations resurfaced early in 2023 he increased funding from 4.5 million to approximately 35 million dollars. A total of 45 officers from both countries spent 24 hours inside the headquarters seizing "computers, computer tapes, discs, and 85 boxes of documents" later named only as 75 boxes of documents of evidence. Miller told employees that the raid was "an unfounded assault upon our integrity".

While Future Electronics released statements that the investigation was based on allegations of price-fixing that defrauded US companies, the FBI declined to clarify the nature of their investigation and stated "We wouldn't confirm that this is the direction the investigation is headed. Future, of course, is welcome to say what they want, but what people tell us is confidential." Future Electronics took the matter to court, to prevent any further details on the nature of the investigation from being released and to block the release of documents outlining the cause of the May 7 raid.

Allegations of sexual assault and arrest In 2006, his wife Margaret Antonier filed for divorce claiming she had been shocked to discover horrendous evidence of child sexual abuse. Miller counter-filed claiming she'd had an affair with a colleague after they separated and successfully won a motion to seal the contents of his wife's allegations against him due to their "offensive" nature. The Intercontinental Hotel confirmed that Miller kept a year-round lease on a room through the late 1990s in which he never overnighted, but would bring "very young ladies" for a few hours -and Miller paid to install a custom large bathing area their former head of security, interviewed by police, dubbed "the fuck tub". Miller stepped down from Future Electronics within hours of the program,

Miller was arrested on May 30, 2024 and faced 21 charges, later increased to 24 charges, including sexual assault, obtaining sexual services for consideration and several counts of sexual exploitation of minors. Miller was alleged to have used the alias "Bob Adams", claiming to be the president of "Audiophile Productions" in Chicago, while his assistant Raymond Poulet was alleged to have called himself Sebastien Tremblay, president of a fictional "California Productions Inc". He pleaded not guilty and denied the allegations. as engaging or facilitating the child sex acts, termed as grooming them with cash and gifts before arranging sex acts with an adult. Lippman had also been a target in the 1999 FBI and RCMP raid. In August 2025, charges were dropped against Fuentes.
