The criminal trial of Aiden Pleterski, described as Canada’s « crypto king », begins on October 5 before Ontario’s Superior Court of Justice. This social media influencer is accused of embezzling approximately $30 million between 2021 and 2022 through a Ponzi-style fraud scheme, with promises of high weekly profits. Canadian authorities have charged him with money laundering and fraud, carrying a maximum sentence of up to 14 years in prison. Pleterski, who failed to secure a trial delay to obtain counsel, will represent himself. In December 2022, the accused himself was kidnapped and tortured for three days by men who were allegedly victims of his scheme.
