Why it matters for dental
Dental practices that invest staff savings in high-risk vehicles expose their team to fraud losses and potential morale or productivity fallout.
Key points
- Dental hygienist Finn-Saunders testified she and her husband gave Aiden Pleterski $30,000 cash after a 2021 parking-lot meeting in Ajax.
- Finn-Saunders received WhatsApp balance updates that later proved fabricated, according to testimony from Durham Regional Police cybercrime detective Daniel Ross.
- Pleterski, 27, has pleaded not guilty to charges of defrauding investors and money laundering; the trial is in its second week before Superior Court Justice Shaun Nakatsuru.
- The Crown alleges Pleterski used investor funds for private-jet travel, luxury cars, and credit-card payments rather than trading.
