WHITBY, ONTARIO — Police in the Greater Toronto Area say a man charged with fraud and money laundering, who called himself the"crypto king," tried to solicit investments as recently as February.
Chief Peter Moreira says police began an investigation dubbed Project Swan after receiving complaints in July 2022 about an investment fraud promising large weekly profits through"savvy investments." Bankruptcy filings related to Pleterski show that he allegedly received $41.5 million from investors but only invested 1.6 per cent of the funds, instead spending $15.9 million on exotic vehicles, private jet rentals and other luxuries.Stephen Henkel, senior investigator for the Ontario Securities Commission, which was involved in the investigation, says the alleged fraud was massive and involved several jurisdictions.
