According to CBC, self-described crypto king Aiden Pleterski testified on November 13 at Toronto's Ontario Superior Court about being abducted for three days in early December 2022, describing beatings, waterboarding, and threats at gunpoint. The jury viewed video evidence showing Pleterski on his knees as shots were fired near his ear. Three defendants—Akil Heywood, Alfredo Paladino, and Rakeem Henry—face charges of kidnapping and extortion, all pleading not guilty. The Crown alleges Heywood, a former investor, was the lead organizer.
