Everything you need to know about Ontario's scandalous 23-year-old 'crypto king' Ontario
"Aiden Pleterski is a revolutionary 22-year-old day trader in the foreign exchange and crypto market. The Canadian native, born and raised in Whitby, Ontario, began his journey into the crypto world in the year 2015 when he began playing certain video games that allowed an individual to trade crypto currency within the electronic world," reads an article in the latter digital publication.
"Aiden, who left a comfortable job in order to take a leap, was highly rewarded due to his success as an investor and entrepreneur. He is currently working towards the launch of his own cryptocurrency company, with the goal of creating something that would be truly groundbreaking and disruptive in the industry," reads that article.
Pleterski's lawyers disputed some claims against him at the time, and said that others were overly exaggerated, but the question of what happened to the rest of his $35 million fortune remained. Pleterski claimed to have lost most of the money"in a series of margin calls and bad trades" — something he was unable to prove with any sort of financial record.
