自称“加密货币大王”的艾登·普莱特斯基周一上午申请宣告审判无效，理由是他表示，在没有律师代理的情况下，他无法获得公正审判。
Self-described 'Crypto King' Aiden Pleterski requested a mistrial on Monday morning because he said he wasn't receiving a fair trial without a lawyer representing him.
安大略省高等法院法官肖恩·纳卡特苏鲁驳回了普莱特斯基的请求，并在周四上午作出完整裁决，此时普莱特斯基在多伦多的欺诈案审判中，陪审团已开始进行评议。
Ontario Superior Court Justice Shaun Nakatsuru denied Pleterski's request and gave his full decision on the matter Thursday morning after the jury at Pleterski's Toronto fraud trial began deliberations.
纳卡特苏鲁在裁决中表示：“我依然相信，如果普莱特斯基先生选择这样做，他本能够进行充分的抗辩。”
"I'm still confident if Mr. Pleterski had chosen to do so he would have been able to make full defence," Nakatsuru said in his ruling.
“我在本次审判中所见之事，并未改变我对此的看法……他没有带电脑或平板电脑，没有带任何控方披露的证据材料……据我所知，他没有做过任何一条笔记……我甚至不确定他是否在听证人作证。”普莱特斯基被控诈骗金额超过5000加元。控方指控这名27岁的被告从投资者处骗取了超过3600万加元用于交易，但从未将其中一分钱投入合同约定的交易平台。
"Nothing I have seen at this trial has changed my view on that ... he has not brought a computer or a tablet, he has not brought any Crown disclosure…. He has not made a single note that I have seen … I'm not even sure he was paying attention to the witnesses." Pleterski is accused of fraud over $5,000. Prosecutors allege the 27-year-old took more than $36 million from investors for trading, but never put a cent of it into the trading platform on their contracts.
相反，控方在审判中提供的财务记录显示，普莱特斯基将其中1630万加元用于个人挥霍，又将另外1610万加元作为回报返还给投资者。在控方举证结束时，他们撤销了对普莱特斯基的第二项洗钱指控。
Instead, the Crown provided financial records at trial showing Pleterski spent $16.3 million of it on himself and gave another $16.1 million back to investors as returns. At the end of the Crown's case, they dropped a second charge of money laundering against the Pleterski.
在本月的审判期间，申请宣告审判无效只是普莱特斯基约两打次声称自己不知所措、不知该问什么、缺乏自我辩护专业知识或需要律师的实例之一。其中一些言论是在陪审团面前作出的，但许多并非如此。
During his trial this month, the mistrial request was one of roughly two dozen instances in which Pleterski claimed he didn't know what he was doing, didn't know what to ask, didn't have the expertise to defend himself or needed a lawyer. Some of those remarks were made in front of the jury, but many were not.
“加密货币之王”艾登·普莱特斯基首次向陪审团陈述，称自己无罪“加密货币之王”审判听取了艾登·普莱特斯基承认3亿美元基金“从未存在”的录音关于这些评论的讨论、普莱特斯基在自己审判中的有限参与以及中津（Nakatsuru）认为普莱特斯基如果选择，有能力进行辩护，构成了陪审团在法庭上未听到的重要部分。由于陪审团已隔离审议判决，这些细节现在可以报道。
'Crypto King' Aiden Pleterski addresses jury at his fraud trial for first time, says he's innocent 'Crypto King' trial hears recording of Aiden Pleterski admitting $300M fund 'never existed' Conversations about these comments, Pleterski's limited participation in his own trial and Nakatsuru's belief that Pleterski was capable of mounting a defence if he so chose make up a significant portion of what the jury didn't hear in court. These details can now be reported because the jury is sequestered as they consider their verdict. Not participating 'for tactical reasons' "You have decided essentially not to participate in this trial.
“出于战术原因”不参与中津在审判第三天对普莱特斯基说：“你基本上决定不参与此次审判。普莱特斯基先生，我清楚地知道这是出于战术原因。”他补充说，他认为这样做的目的是为了提高上诉成功的可能性。
It has become clear to me that it is being done for tactical reasons, Mr. Pleterski," Nakatsuru said on the third day of the trial, adding that he thought the reason was to bolster the success of an appeal. "You don't know the meaning of 'cul de sac' or 'I heard it through the grapevine.'
“你不知道‘死胡同’或‘我听说是风声’的意思。这是你的审判，这是你做的选择……我不是傻瓜。”中津随后鼓励普莱特斯基参与他的审判。
This is your trial, these are the choices you are making … I am not a fool." Nakatsuru then encouraged Pleterski to participate in his trial.
到那时，控方已经传唤了几位投资者证人，但普莱特斯基只对第一位进行了交叉询问。从那时起，普莱特斯基拒绝向其他人提问，而是说“我需要律师”或“我不知道该问什么”。除此之外，普莱特斯基在作证时只问了“死胡同”和“风声”是什么意思。他后来告诉法官，他以前从未听过这些词，并认为他这个年纪的许多其他人也没有听过。
By that point, the Crown had already called several investor witnesses but Pleterski only cross-examined the first. From then on, Pleterski declined to ask the others questions, instead saying "I need a lawyer" or that "I don't know what to ask." Otherwise, Pleterski only spoke up during testimony to ask what "cul de sac" and "heard it through the grapevine" meant. He later told the judge he'd never heard the terms before and thought many other people his age hadn't heard them either.
普莱特斯基在审判第三天，陪审团不在场的情况下，告诉法官：“我说我不知道我在做什么，我需要律师，这是真诚的。”
"I am being genuine when I say I don't know what I'm doing and I need a lawyer," Pleterski told the judge on the third day, without the jury present.
他补充道：“我刚才的表现像个白痴，”他指的是他唯一的交叉询问。“有几个月时间准备你的辩护”前一天，当普列特斯基站起来说，针对王室第二位证人是否有任何问题时，他需要律师，纳卡特斯鲁打断了他。陪审团被送出法庭，法官告诉普列特斯基，如果他不同意纳卡特斯鲁在开庭前一周拒绝其休庭申请的决定，有“适当的途径”可走。
"I sounded like an idiot up there," he added, referencing his sole cross-examination. 'Months to prepare your defence' A day earlier, Nakatsuru had cut Pleterski off when he stood up and said he needed a lawyer in response to whether he had any questions for the Crown's second witness. The jury was sent out of the courtroom and the judge told Pleterski there were "appropriate avenues" for him if he didn't agree with Nakatsuru's decision to deny Pleterski an adjournment the week before trial.
然而，法官表示，他不会允许普列特斯基在陪审团面前说“我需要律师”。“你有几个月，几个月的时间来准备你的辩护，”纳卡特斯鲁说。
However, the judge said he would not allow Pleterski to say "I need a lawyer" in front of the jury. "You've had months, months, to prepare your defence," said Nakatsuru.
“你没有律师就在这里，这并不意外……几个月前，几个月前就告诉过你了。”‘加密货币之王’将1630万美元投资者资金用于购车、信用卡、私人飞机、安保和会计师，会计师作证称 房地产开发商作证称他给“加密货币之王”艾登·普列特斯基450万美元用于投资 普列特斯基的10月5日开庭日期于2025年6月确定，无论是否有律师。
"The fact that you're here without a lawyer is not a surprise … you were told about it months and months ago." 'Crypto King' spent $16.3M of investor funds on cars, credit cards, jets, security, accountant testifies Real estate developer testifies he gave 'Crypto King' Aiden Pleterski $4.5M to invest Pleterski's Oct. 5 trial date was set, with or without counsel, in June 2025.
一年后，王室告诉法院，自2025年11月以来，他们一直就普列特斯基聘请律师一事多次出庭——但毫无进展。
A year later, the Crown told the court they had been coming back for appearances since November 2025 regarding Pleterski retaining a lawyer — with no movement.
CBC新闻记者旁听了5月、6月、7月和9月安排的出庭，以查看普列特斯基是否已聘请律师，但每次他都没有。到9月下旬，普列特斯基确实聘请了律师，为其休庭动议辩护，以便有更多时间聘请律师。
CBC News attended court appearances scheduled to see if Pleterski had retained counsel in May, June, July and September, but each time, he had not. By late September, Pleterski did retain counsel to argue his motion for adjournment so he could have more time to hire a lawyer.
普列特斯基被拒绝更多时间 在休庭申请的陈述中，普列特斯基为该动议聘请的律师辩称，其当事人一直在努力筹集资金，为开庭聘请律师。
Pleterski denied more time In submissions for the adjournment, the lawyer Pleterski hired for the motion argued his client had been making efforts to secure the funds to retain a lawyer for trial.
律师辩称，如果批准休庭，普列特斯基的远房亲戚愿意变现资产，帮助他支付费用。然而，这些亲戚的姓名和资产细节并未提供给法院。纳卡特斯鲁在动议审理当天予以驳回。
If the adjournment was granted, the lawyer argued, Pleterski's extended family members were willing to liquidate assets to help him cover the cost. However, the names of those family members and details on the assets were not provided to the court. Nakatsuru denied that motion the same day it was heard.
尽管法官指示普莱特斯基不要在陪审团面前说他需要律师，后来又指示他不要说不知道该问证人什么问题——但普莱特斯基在整个审判过程中，每当获得交叉询问机会时，仍断断续续地发表这些言论。
Despite the judge's instruction for Pleterski not to say he needed a lawyer in front of the jury, and later not to say he didn't know what to ask witnesses — Pleterski continued to make these comments on and off throughout the trial when given the opportunity for cross-examination.
牙医就诊导致延期审判第三周伊始，普莱特斯基告诉纳卡楚鲁法官，因牙齿问题他正遭受“剧烈疼痛”，并在法庭听完法务会计师的证词后，请求休庭一天以便去看牙医。纳卡楚鲁批准了该请求。
Delay for the dentist At the beginning of the trial's third week, Pleterski told Nakatsuru that he was in "excruciating pain" because of an issue with one of his teeth and asked to adjourn for the day, after the forensic accountant finished his testimony, so he could go to the dentist. Nakatsuru granted the request.
第二天（10月20日），普莱特斯基向法庭表示，因疼痛他“几乎熬不过那个夜晚”，并请求法官将审判推迟到本周一，因为他称自己周五有拔牙预约。
The next day, Oct. 20, Pleterski told the court he was "barely able to get through the night" due to the pain and asked the judge to adjourn court until this Monday, as Pleterski said he had an appointment to have his tooth extracted Friday.
起初，纳卡楚鲁希望当天完成控方最后一名证人、投资人克里斯·温恩的证词，称普莱特斯基“只是在吃泰诺”。但普莱特斯基坚持己见。
'Crypto King' investor recounts the moment he learned $311M investment fund didn't exist 'Crypto King' tells court he fears he might soon end up in jail cell with his kidnappers Initially, Nakatsuru wanted to get through the Crown's final witness, investor Chris Winn, that day, saying Pleterski was "only on Tylenol." But Pleterski was insistent.
“我不明白我怎么熬得过今天，光是在家里坐着什么都不干我都几乎熬不过去，”他对法庭说道。
"I don't see how I can get through today, I can barely get through just sitting at home doing nothing," he told the court.
纳卡楚鲁改变主意，将审判推迟至本周一，并告知陪审团系因医疗原因。
Nakatsuru changed his mind and adjourned the trial until this Monday, telling the jury it was due to a medical issue.
在周一早些时候请求宣告无效审判前，普莱特斯基告诉纳卡楚鲁，他的牙医将拔牙预约改到了当天下午，所以他尚未进行该手术。
Before requesting a mistrial Monday morning, Pleterski told Nakatsuru his dentist rescheduled his appointment to extract the tooth until that afternoon, so he hadn't had the procedure yet.
“世界不是围着你转的”普莱特斯基请求提前闭庭以便赴约。纳卡楚鲁拒绝了该请求，表示他们将在当天听完温恩的所有证词。午餐休庭前，普莱特斯基又试图再次提出请求。
'The world doesn't revolve around you' Pleterski asked to end court early so he could go to the appointment. Nakatsuru denied the request, stating that they were going to hear all of Winn's testimony that day. Before lunch Monday, Pleterski tried asking again.
“普莱特斯基先生，因为您的牙科预约就让陪审团现在或进一步受到不便，这根本说不通，”中村说，“只是颗裂牙而已。”普莱特斯基回答：“我嘴里有个洞。”
"It just doesn't make sense Mr. Pleterski that we should already, or further, inconvenience the jury because of your dental appointment," said Nakatsuru. "It's a cracked tooth." Pleterski replied: "It's a hole in my mouth."
“我们要在本周结束这场审判，”中村说，“让我再指出一次，普莱特斯基先生，世界不是围着您转的。”
"We're going to finish this trial this week," said Nakatsuru. "Let me point this out again Mr. Pleterski, the world doesn't revolve around you."
尽管法官鼓励他考虑这样做，普莱特斯基选择不提交任何证据，也不亲自作证。周二，中村再次尝试。
Pleterski chose not to call any evidence or testify himself, despite encouragement to consider doing so from the judge. On Tuesday, Nakatsuru tried once again.
法官告诉普莱特斯基，做结案陈词将给他一个为自己辩护的机会，并告诉普莱特斯基，根据审判中播放的一段普莱特斯基与投资者会面的录音，他知道普莱特斯基“口才很好”，能“极具说服力”。普莱特斯基最终在周三做了简短的结案陈词。
The judge told Pleterski that making a closing statement would give him an opportunity to make arguments in his defence, telling Pleterski he knew he was "well-spoken" and could "be persuasive" based on a recording of a meeting Pleterski had with investors heard at trial. Pleterski did end up giving a brief closing statement on Wednesday.
“我是这里最不合格做结案陈词的人，”普莱特斯基说，这是他首次对陪审团发言。
"I am the least qualified person here to give a closing statement," said Pleterski, addressing the jury for the first time. "However, that being said, I am innocent of these charges.
“话虽如此，我对这些指控是无辜的。这就是我认罪不成立的原因。要不是被迫自我辩护，这本会被证实。我就要说这些。”
That is why I pled not guilty. Had I not been forced to represent myself, that would have been proven. That's all I have to say."
