He is accused of spending millions in court documents related to a bankruptcy case against Pleterski. Pleterski contacted his landlord in the middle of the night and asked for $3 million, as recounted in court papers.

The landlord said I received multiple calls from Aiden, but it was late at night and I finally had enough. I picked up the call. Pleterski told him that there was nobody else he could call, to which the landlord said simply, There's absolutely nothing I can do. It turns out that Pleterski is embroiled in a bankruptcy scandal in which he was asked to invest over $40 million, but instead spent almost $16 million on luxury vacations, high-end cars and private jets, as reported by CTV News.

In a statement on the case, bankruptcy trustee Rob Stelzer said he told people he would invest their money, and that was not what happened. He didn't do what he said he was going to do.
