An Ontario Securities Commission forensic accountant testified that Aiden Pleterski received about $25.67 million in investment funds from 2020 to 2022, with $11.53 million used for personal spending.

The accountant put spending on luxury cars at about $3.96 million, credit card bills at $3.47 million and transfers to Pleterski’s parents at $2.62 million. The testimony also put payments to investors at about $11.39 million.

No funds went to FXChoice, the trading platform named in the investment contracts, the accountant testified. About $80,000 went to other forex and crypto trading platforms.

Pleterski, 27, pleaded not guilty to fraud and money laundering charges. The case is ongoing.
