Another clicky story from Protos. Aiden Pleterski, who ran a pure Ponzi and stole 40 million FAST, is spending it FAST. His loot is supposedly under the control of a bankruptcy trustee, but the trustee isn’t trying very hard to stop the spending. Pleterski is jetting around the world, a new country every day, spending extravagantly on momentary pleasures and showing it all on video.

I can’t muster the tiniest scrap of empathy for the investors. As with Sammy’s FTX, the whole enterprise was BLATANTLY ILLICIT. The trustee represents 160 creditors, so each must have thrown in a quarter million on average. People who easily toss a quarter million into an obvious scam are NOT ordinary honest workers. They’re looking for a tax loss and nothing else. They got their loss, so they aren’t pushing to gain it back.
