'Crypto King' investor recounts the moment he learned $311M investment fund didn't exist

Investor Mitchell Learning testified that he discovered Aiden Pleterski's claimed $311 million investment fund did not exist after accessing Pleterski's email and finding a deletion confirmation from trading platform FXChoice. Learning, who invested $400,000, found account statements showing balances never exceeded $1,000, contradicting the screenshots and videos Pleterski had shown him. Pleterski is on trial for fraud and money laundering; the Crown alleges he guaranteed returns but never invested funds, instead spending money on luxury cars, private jets, and personal expenses.
