Fleeced dummy denies abusing Aiden Pleterski - update

Self described ‘crypto king’ Aiden Pleterski, 25, just landed in Melbourne. He's on a months-long travel spree he’s prolifically posting about.

Despite bankruptcy proceedings tied to his $40m fraud, he's partying in Los Angeles for Halloween, posting poolside from Miami, and travelling to London for a fight. Pleterski has not been criminally charged. He spends hours live streaming, including more than five hours building and destroying a Lego Titanic.

Akil Heywood and three others are charged with kidnapping Pleterski for ransom. Pleterski owes at least $40m to dum dums. They petitioned Pleterski into bankruptcy a year ago. “I can assure you I am innocent,” Heywood says. Heywood lost $740k to Pleterski. Heywood was involved in examining Pleterski’s bankruptcy proceedings and had access to documents. 5 people involved in the case were voted to represent the interests of Pleterski’s investors. Heywood was one of them. Heywood is alleged to have threatened the bankruptcy trustee to pay him $2m in crypto.
