法庭获悉，普莱特尔斯基今年27岁，在与那三名投资者、他本人以及他带来的一名律师进行录音会面前几周，还在向担忧的投资者提供其FXChoice交易平台账户余额超过3.11亿加元的屏幕截图和视频。
Pleterski, 27, was providing screenshots and videos of his FXChoice trading platform account with a balance more than $311 million to concerned investors just weeks before the recorded meeting with three investors, Pleterski and a lawyer he brought with him, Ontario Superior Court heard.
这三名投资者之一的克里斯·温恩（Chris Winn）于周一上午开始远程作证。
One of those three investors, Chris Winn, started testifying remotely Monday morning.
这位退休的达勒姆地区警察是控方传唤的14名证人中的最后一位。温恩表示，他本人和通过一家控股公司合计投资了45万加元，已追回33万加元。他作证称曾参加两次在另一名投资者家中举行的、普莱特尔斯基也在场的会议。
The retired Durham Regional Police officer is the last of 14 witnesses the Crown has called in their prosecution. Winn, who invested a combined $450,000 himself and through a holding company, said he got back $330,000. He testified to attending two meetings at the home of another investor with Pleterski.

在时长约三小时的第二次会议录音开头附近，普莱特尔斯基与在场的另外两名投资者布拉德·罗杰斯（Brad Rogers）和杰森·阿弗莱克（Jason Affleck）发生了如下对话：普莱特尔斯基：“那3亿加元是——”罗杰斯：“从未存在过，你是说。”普莱特尔斯基：“它从未存在过。”
Near the beginning of the roughly three-hour recording from the second meeting, this exchange between Pleterski and the two other investors present, Brad Rogers and Jason Affleck, occurs: Pleterski: "The $300 million it was –" Rogers: "Never existed, you said."
阿弗莱克：“但那是怎么呈现在屏幕上和一张纸上的？那是经过PS的吗？还是有据可查？到底是怎么——我们看到了什么？”
Pleterski: "It never existed." Affleck: " But how was that shown to us on a screen, and a piece of paper, was that Photoshopped? Or was that documented?
普莱特斯基：“米奇根据当时的情况给你们看了那张照片以及那些东西，然后那个账户基本上就不存在了。”
Like how was that — we saw it?" Pleterski: "Mitch showed you the picture and all that based on whatever, then that account basically never existed."
在审判早些时候，普莱特斯基的另一位投资者兼前朋友米切尔·勒宁作证称，他在收到一张截图和一段视频（显示FX Choice账户余额为3.11亿美元）后，曾去寻找普莱特斯基投资账户里“到底有多少钱”的“当面证据”。
Earlier in the trial, another investor and former friend of Pleterski's, Mitchell Learning, testified he went looking for "proof in person" of how much money was in Pleterski's investment account — after receiving a screenshot and video showing the FX Choice with a $311-million balance.
勒宁于2022年6月前往安大略省伯灵顿普莱特斯基的湖畔豪宅，并设法在他的电脑上访问了普莱特斯基的电子邮件账户。他作证称，发现了一封来自FXChoice的确认邮件，证实普莱特斯基已删除该账户。
Learning went to Pleterski's lakefront mansion in Burlington, Ont., in June 2022 and was able to access Pleterski's email account on his computer. He testified that he found an email from FXChoice confirming Pleterski had deleted that account.
“加密货币大王”投资者回忆得知3.11亿美元投资基金不存在的那一刻勒宁告诉法庭，普莱特斯基承认在前一年交易中亏损了这笔钱，并对勒宁说，从那时起他一直在用其他投资者的资金偿还投资者款项。

(Mehrdad Nazarahar/CBC) The investor meeting with Winn, Pleterski and others took place about a week after Learning testified Pleterski confessed what was going on to Learning in June 2022, according to the recording.
“自1月以来，我退还了70万美元，亏了；退还了100万美元，亏了；退还了30万美元，亏了，”普莱特斯基在录音会议中说。“那是从投资者那里募集来的钱。”
"Since January, I've refunded $700,000, lost it, I've refunded $1 million, lost it, I've refunded $300,000, lost it," said Pleterski at the recorded meeting. "That was money that was taken in from investors."
几位投资者同时插话，说“来自我们”和“我们还清了你所有的债务”。“我坐在这儿就是想把事情弄好”：普莱特斯基在会议过程中，投资者们试图建议普莱特斯基变卖资产，并将其置入由投资者控制的企业中。随后，他们将监督普莱特斯基进行交易，以挽回所有人的损失。他们还反复表示不信任普莱特斯基，因为他曾对他们撒谎，并多次提及他可能入狱。
A couple of investors talking over each other say "from us" and "we paid all your debts." ‘I'm sitting here trying to make it right': Pleterski Over the course of the meeting, the investors try to suggest that Pleterski liquidate his assets and put them into a business controlled by the investors. From there, they would supervise Pleterski conducting trades to make everyone's money back. They also regularly repeat they don't trust Pleterski because he's lied to them and make multiple references to him going to jail.
温恩在其中一次发言中说：“这是他妈的安大略省最大的庞氏骗局之一。这会登上报纸头版。”
"This is one of the biggest Ponzi schemes in f–king Ontario," said Winn, in one of those instances. "It'll be front page of the paper."

普莱特斯基说：“如果我对这些事存有恶意，我就不会坐在你们面前，我早他妈坐飞机溜之大吉了。”
"If I had a malicious intent with any of this, I wouldn't be sitting in front of you guys, I'd be on a f--king plane getting out of here right now," said Pleterski.
“我早他妈很久以前就能跑了，但我坐在这儿想把事情弄好。大家他妈的都在逼我。”
"I could have been gone long, a long f--king time ago, but I'm sitting here trying to make it right. Everybody's f--king leaning on me."
普莱特斯基还辩称自己懂得如何交易，但在录音中表示，鉴于他承受的压力，他目前的心态无法做好交易。
Pleterski also argues he knows how to trade, but said in the recording that he's not in the headspace to do it well given the stress he's under.
自10月初审判开始以来，检方指控普莱特斯基向投资者担保其交给他的交易资金安全，但从未真正投资这些资金，反而将钱挥霍在自己身上。就在一周多前，法庭出示了支持检方这一指控的首份详细证据。会计师：1630万元挥霍在自己身上一名审查过普莱特斯基财务记录的资深法务会计师作证称，投资者向普莱特斯基提供了超过3630万元，但这些资金从未被发送至FXChoice——投资者合同规定普莱特斯基将代表他们使用的交易平台。
Since the start of his trial in early October, the Crown has alleged that Pleterski guaranteed the money his investors gave him for trading, but never actually invested the funds, instead spending the money on himself. Just over a week ago, the court was presented with the first detailed evidence in support of that aspect of the prosecution's case. $16.3M spent on himself: accountant A senior forensic accountant who reviewed Pleterski's financial records testified that investors provided Pleterski with more than $36.3 million and none of those funds were ever sent to FXChoice, the trading platform investor contracts said Pleterski would use on their behalf.
安大略省证券委员会的Albert Ciorma表示，他的法务审计发现，Pleterski在豪华车辆上花费约560万加元，信用卡账单上花费490万加元，旅行和私人飞机上花费87万加元，安保上花费59.8万加元。Ciorma说，Pleterski还给了父母近370万加元，并从信用卡取了60.9万加元现金预支。
Instead, Albert Ciorma from the Ontario Securities Commission said his forensic audit found Pleterski spent about $5.6 million on luxury vehicles, $4.9 million on credit card bills, $870,000 on travel and private jets and $598,000 on security. Pleterski also gave nearly $3.7 million to his parents and took $609,000 in cash advances from a credit card, Ciorma said.
安大略省证券委员会高级法务会计师Albert Ciorma本月初在Pleterski的欺诈审判中作证。（Pam Davies/CBC 摄）上述开支合计超过1630万加元。据Ciorma称，Pleterski还从所得资金中向投资者支付了另外1610万加元。
Albert Ciorma, a senior forensic accountant with the Ontario Securities Commission, testified earlier this month in Pleterski's fraud trial. (Pam Davies/CBC) Altogether, those expenses total more than $16.3 million. Pleterski also paid out another $16.1 million to investors from the funds he received, according to Ciorma.
预计周一下午，法庭将听取Winn的证词以及他参加的那次投资者会议的其余录音。
Winn's testimony and the rest of the audio recording of the investor meeting he attended are expected to be heard in court Monday afternoon.
之后，Pleterski将有机会传唤证人，并自行决定是否出庭作证。
After that's completed, Pleterski will have the opportunity to call witnesses and testify himself if he chooses.
