Aiden Pleterski, known as the self-proclaimed Crypto King, has pleaded guilty to multiple charges related to intimate partner violence. The 26-year-old entered his plea on July 29, admitting to assault, harassment, and unlawfully entering a dwelling. These charges stem from incidents that took place over three days in early January at a residence in Vaughan. The identity of the female victim is protected by a court-ordered publication ban.

York Regional Police reported that Pleterski was taken into custody after he voluntarily surrendered at a police station. Constable James Dickson stated, "We can only provide very limited information, [to] protect the victim." In addition to the charges he pleaded guilty to, Pleterski faces four other charges, including forcible confinement and uttering threats, all involving the same victim.

A spokesperson for the provincial Ministry of the Attorney General confirmed that prosecutors have not dropped the additional charges. Pleterski's attorney, Cosmo Galluzzo, did not respond to inquiries regarding the case. Pleterski has not yet been sentenced, with the next court appearance scheduled for late November in the Ontario Court of Justice in Newmarket.

Previously, Pleterski was granted bail after his parents posted a $7,500 bond. He is prohibited from contacting the complainant and must reside at his parents' home in Whitby each night. In a separate legal matter, Pleterski is facing serious allegations of fraud and money laundering, described by Durham Regional Police as the largest fraud investigation in the region's history. His fraud trial is set to begin in October 2026.

Since the summer of 2022, Pleterski has been under scrutiny after declaring bankruptcy. Investors claim he defrauded them of up to $40 million, promising high returns on investments in cryptocurrencies and foreign exchanges. However, only about $27 million in claims were recognized during bankruptcy proceedings. Investigations revealed that Pleterski invested less than two percent of the funds he received, instead spending nearly $16 million on personal luxuries, including private jets, vacations, luxury cars, and a lakefront mansion.

Pleterski has denied any wrongdoing in the fraud case, and the allegations remain unproven in court. The upcoming fraud trial is expected to draw significant attention as it unfolds.
