Nearly 1,000 square meters of land, six bedrooms, eight bathrooms, a cinema room and a private dock on Lake Ontario. For 8.4 million Canadian dollars, or approximately 5.7 million euros, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and his partner offered themselves a little haven of peace in Burlington, Canada. Or at least they thought so…
Because the couple ultimately only stayed in the house for a few days, long enough to receive visits from several people who asked where Aiden Pleterski, the former tenant of the house, was.
In the process, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and his partner did research and realized that numerous threats had been issued against the residence, some even threatening to set it on fire.
Enough to quickly push the back of Oklahoma City to pack up its belongings, and now to file a legal action in order to cancel the sale, accusing the sellers of having hidden it from him “the history of threatening visits to the property and the ongoing risk of these visits”knowing that “that no reasonable person looking at properties of this type, quality and price would have purchased it” having become aware of these problems.
Because Aiden Pleterski, who previously rented the house with a view to buying it, made many enemies. This former “king of cryptocurrency” caused a lot of people to lose millions of dollars, diverting the money he promised to invest to rent private jets, go on vacation, buy luxury cars and therefore rent this luxury house. Defrauded investors filed complaints, but others outright kidnapped and tortured 24-year-old man in December 2022, demanding millions of dollars from his loved ones.
On the sellers’ side, they claim to have hidden nothing from Shai Gilgeous-Alexander during the sale, arguing that the “visits” were not threatening in any case, the people having left without damaging anything.
