Ontario's 'Crypto King' Arrested for Alleged $30 Million Fraud
Aiden Pleterski, known as Ontario's 'Crypto King', and his partner Colin Murphy, 27, have been arrested on fraud and money laundering charges, according to CryptoPotato. The charges relate to a Ponzi scheme believed to have defrauded victims of approximately $30 million. The arrests follow a 16-month investigation known as 'Project Swan', one of the most comprehensive fraud investigations the region has ever seen.
The investigation involved interviews with multiple victims, dozens of court orders and thousands of pages of financial documents. Pleterski is charged with fraud over $5,000 and laundering the proceeds of Canadian crimes. The allegations against Pleterski are currently under a publication ban issued on May 14, 2024.
Stephen Henkel of the Ontario Securities Commission noted that Pleterski is not registered with any Canadian securities regulator. Authorities believe he may have been soliciting investors as early as February 2024. But none of the allegations against Pleterski have been proven in court, and Ontario officials have not released any further details about the case.
In a separate incident, Pleterski was reportedly kidnapped, assaulted and tortured last year by five men who claimed to be his victims. Five suspects were arrested by Toronto police for kidnapping for ransom and other crimes. Pleterski was held captive for three days and was released after pressure to urgently bring some money. In a video obtained by CBC News, Pleterski, who was visibly bruised and injured, can be seen apologizing and expressing regret for any harm caused. His lawyer confirmed that the video was recorded during the kidnapping ordeal.

Chinese Police Bust Underground Banking Operation Using Tether
According to CryptoPotato, Chinese law enforcement has busted a major underground banking operation that used the well-known stablecoin Tether (USDT) to facilitate transfers worth a total of 13.8 billion yuan ($1.9 billion). The Chengdu Municipal Public Security Bureau arrested 193 people connected to the case and froze 149 million yuan ($20.6 million) after raiding the location of the operation.
Police investigations since 2021 have revealed that the underground banking operation was run by a criminal gang with roots in Chinese import and export businesses. The gang used USDT to operate a foreign exchange payment and payment business that provided illegal services to cosmetics and drug traffickers and locals purchasing foreign assets. The gang also collaborated with other companies to fraudulently obtain tax refunds. Police discovered that USDT was being used to circumvent national exchange controls and posed a risk to the country's financial security.
The gang's operation is also linked to business-related crimes, smuggling of illegal goods and financial frauds such as interfering with credit card management and fraud in export tax refunds. The Longquanyi District Branch of the Chengdu Municipal Public Security Bureau first detected the operation in November 2022 while handling a drug case involving the payment of funds through underground banks.
In June 2023, the Ministry of Public Security formed a task force that raided six municipalities, including Shanghai, Changsha, Nanjing, Shenzhen, Fuzhou and Jinhua, to search for underground banks. The raid resulted in the arrest of 25 suspects and the seizure of several payment instruments, including bank cards and U-shields. A raid was carried out in August 2023 and 168 people were arrested in 26 provinces.

President Biden Threatens to Veto SEC's Resolution to Overturn Crypto Regulation
According to Odaily, the U.S. House of Representatives' H.J. Pic. 109 (a decision reversing the SEC's digital asset regulation SAB 121), President Biden made a threatening statement. He stated that he could veto executive authority if there was a decision that would reverse SEC policy. The White House expressed strong opposition to House members seeking to undermine the SEC's measures to protect crypto-asset market investors and the broader financial system.
It is worth noting that under previous administrations, approximately one-third of threatened vetoes were never implemented; Therefore, this does not mean that the veto will necessarily be implemented. Given bipartisan support for the bill, Biden may need to weigh the pros and cons. Patrick Kirby, head of policy at the Crypto Innovation Council, explained: 'The president has 10 days (excluding Sundays) to sign the resolution, allowing it to become law without being signed or vetoed.'
The SEC may also decide to repeal SAB 121 to avoid forcing Biden to decide whether to use his veto power. Previously, the US Senate passed a resolution overturning SEC SAB 121 by a vote of 60-38. However, the decision could be vetoed once it reaches President Biden's desk. The SEC previously issued Staff Accounting Bulletin 121 SAB 121, which requires companies to record crypto assets they hold on their balance sheets. Critics argue that this provision is too strict and essentially prevents large custodians and companies from holding crypto assets for customers.
