Canadian national Aiden Pleterski, who has dubbed himself the "Crypto King," is set to face criminal charges in the Ontario Superior Court of Justice on October 5. Pleterski is accused of defrauding investors of approximately $30 million between 2021 and 2022 by promising high weekly returns. Canadian authorities brought charges of fraud and money laundering against him in May 2024. His previous request for a trial extension to hire legal counsel was denied. The trial is anticipated to last around four weeks, with a potential sentence of up to 14 years imprisonment for each fraud conviction.
