Founder of bankrupt crypto project AP Private Equity kidnapped and torturedCTV News Toronto (CTVNT) has obtained documents revealing the details of the incident involving Aiden Pleterski. He was kidnapped by criminals in downtown Toronto and tortured and beaten for three days as the criminals tried to get a ransom for his life.
"He was kidnapped and held for about three days, driven to various parts of southern Ontario, beaten, tortured, allowed to make phone calls only to specific people and demanded a multi-million dollar ransom," according to a court filing on Pleterski's abduction.
A Toronto police spokesman declined to comment on witness statements, the list of suspects or the status of arrests made in connection with the case in the interests of the investigation.
"Aiden was running a business that he told people he would invest their money in, but that didn't happen. He didn't do any of the things he promised. And obviously he owes people a lot of money," commented bankruptcy trustee Rob Stelzer.
Recall that 23-year-old founder of AP Private Equity has attracted about $40 million to its crypto project. Pletersky guaranteed investors that he would increase their investment by at least 7%, but in fact more than 98% of the collected funds were not invested, and were used to purchase luxury goods and personal enrichment.
