Durham Regional Police fear there are more victims involved in a “massive” fraud case allegedly linked to Ontario’s self-declared “Crypto King.”
That so-called Crypto King, 25-year-old Aiden Pleterski from Whitby, is facing charges of fraud over $5,000 and laundering the proceeds of crime.
Durham police announced his arrest on Wednesday; Colin Murphy, a 27-year-old Oshawa man, is facing the same charges.
In an update Thursday, Durham police Chief Peter Moreira alleged Pleterski, who reportedly ran a firm dubbed AP Private Equity, was attempting to solicit investment as early as February.

He's a narcissist that was so disingenuous that he formulated a long running scam, and interestingly enough, wanted to be known as monarchy based on the choice of nickname.

How does anyone trust these kids with their hard earned money?

@darrellbobyk6363 20 күн бұрын

Because they are too lazy to work and earn money the honest way.

That's plain stupid. They obviously had money to invest. You saying they didn't work hard to obtain what they had. If anything they were to lazy to look into investing themselves @darrellbobyk6363

Why even hold a press conference? ..When every single question from the media is answered with "we can't answer that at this time due to a publication ban" ...silly

Why the poor quality video that is freezing up in places? The USA seems to do these kind of press releases with perfect video. So I am led to believe that Canadian press doesn't care or our communication infrastruture is in poor shape --- either answer is troubling.

It's amazing how many people turn a willfully ignorant blind eye in preference of magical childish thinking and even keep being scammed by the same scammers over and over, to the point of what seems to define stockholm syndrome encapsulation.

I suspect he didn't get a free pass in the first instance, the law was just building their case which was then aided by his continued efforts even after knowing he was on their radar.

The legal system should publish his political voting preference. It would be rather educational for many.
