Aiden Pleterski, known as Ontario's 'crypto king', was arrested for domestic violence charges. He faces seven charges including assault, forcible confinement, and death threats. Pleterski was granted bail but faces restrictions including no contact with the alleged victim.
Ontario’s self-proclaimed “crypto king,” Aiden Pleterski is facing charges in an alleged case of intimate partner violence in Vaughan last week. Police arrested Pleterski on Monday and charged him with seven new offences, including assault, forcible confinement, harassment and uttering death threats. York Regional Police told CTV News Toronto that Pleterski was brought into custody just after 4 a.m. but did not provide any further details due to the need to protect the identity of the victim.
Court documents filed in Newmarket and reviewed by CTV News Toronto show that Pleterski is accused of assaulting a woman and forcibly confining her two times over the course of three days earlier this month. He is also accused of unlawfully entering a condo and harassing the woman to the point where she feared for her personal safety, the documents show. The 26-year-old was granted bail on the same day of his arrest on the surety of his parents, after they promised to put up $7,500 for his release. His bail conditions include staying at his parents' home in Whitby, Ont., where he has to remain nightly between the hours of 10 p.m. and 6 a.m., ceasing all communication with the complainant as well as not being within 500 metres of anywhere she frequents, with the exception of required court appearances. Pleterski’s next court appearance, in connection with the intimate partner violence case, is slated near the end of the month, on Jan. 28. Last May, Durham Regional Police charged Pleterski with fraud and money laundering following a 16-month investigation. More than 100 people who allegedly lost north of $40 million to Pleterski petitioned him into bankruptcy in a civil lawsuit. Out of the money Pleterski was allegedly given, bankruptcy documents reveal he invested roughly 1.6 per cent and spent nearly $16 million on his “personal lifestyle”
