> Canadian authorities charged Pleterski with fraud and money laundering in May 2024 over alleged investment claims made between 2021 and 2022.

Canadian authorities allege that Aiden Pleterski defrauded followers of about $30 million through digital-asset investment claims; his trial is scheduled for Oct. 5 in Ontario’s Superior Court of Justice.

Canadian authorities charged Pleterski with fraud and money laundering in May 2024, alleging that he solicited investments between 2021 and 2022 by claiming he could generate large weekly profits through digital-asset trading.

The case has taken more than two years to reach trial. Proceedings are expected to last about four weeks.

The fraud charge carries a maximum sentence of up to 14 years in prison if Pleterski is convicted.

The trial is scheduled to begin Oct. 5.
