Jury to begin deliberations in Aiden Pleterski $30 million crypto fraud case

Jury deliberations are set to begin in the high-profile criminal trial of Aiden Pleterski, who is accused of orchestrating a Ponzi scheme that defrauded his followers out of $30 million in digital assets between 2021 and 2022. Pleterski, known on social media as the “crypto king,” faces a charge of fraud and has chosen to represent himself throughout the trial. Justice Shaun Nakatsuru is expected to deliver final instructions to the jury before deliberations commence. Pleterski’s case has attracted widespread public attention due to both the scale of the alleged fraud and Pleterski’s persona in the digital asset world. If convicted, the fraud charge against Pleterski carries a maximum sentence of up to 14 years in prison.
