Why’s Shai living in Canada 💀
The six-bedroom, 10,000-square-foot house on Lake Ontario that Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, a star player with the Oklahoma City Thunder, bought for just over 8.4 million Canadian dollars, or $6.1 million, should have been a dream home.
But in May, two days after Mr. Gilgeous-Alexander, 25, moved into the house, near Toronto, with his partner, it became a nightmare, according to a lawsuit seeking to nullify the sale. A menacing visitor appeared looking for a previous occupant. The couple left the next day and haven’t returned.
Court records show that the home received a steady stream of angry visitors seeking to talk to Mr. Pleterski while he was living there and after he moved out.
Last December, court documents show, Mr. Pleterski was kidnapped by one of his aggrieved investors and four other men, then beaten and tortured over three days.
Testimony in the bankruptcy case reveals that Mr. Pleterski had a security guard to ward off angry investors and was eventually moved out of the house for his own safety. Another resident also fled, fearing for his safety after angry visitors continued to turn up every day.
A holding company owned by Mr. Gilgeous-Alexander is now asking a court to reverse the purchase of the Burlington, Ontario, house because the seller did not disclose its link to Mr. Pleterski and the home’s potential security threat.
This is fucking wild.
Ironically, doesn't publicity of this lawsuit actually inform more bilked investors that an innocent NBA player now owns the home and so it reduces the risk of more angry visitors?
Almost like a reverse Streisand Effect
Or the people that are willing to kidnap someone for money realize someone with a lot of money lives there
Duh
If youre buying that house you have a lot of money. He bought it for 8.4 million. People who dont have that much money dont buy realestate llike that.
Man, I mean anyone who falls for your Ponzi scheme build on a techbro MLM (crypto) probably isn’t going to be very rational to begin with and words like “They don’t live here anymore” are meaningless.
Lol "investors" is a fancy euphemism for mobsters
10k sqft in Canada for 8mil? In this economy? That's Sus bro
For good reason. They should have disclosed the lunatics stalking the property.
Shai needs to get a new real estate agent too, his current one should've did research, along with the sellers needing to disclose this type of shit.
At his level 100%.
Shitty situation, but also bad work by Shai's champ/real estate agent to not look into these things
His house is in Burlington, which is definitely NOT Toronto lol
As a Burlington native, them saying 'near Toronto' made me laugh. They couldn't be more different cities
Its 40 mins from Toronto. You think anybody outside of the GTA is going to recognize Burlington over Toronto?
They say the closest major city so people outside the area have an idea of where it is
Multi-million dollar 10K square foot homes don't grow on trees. With all of them, either the previous owners died, upgraded or something else. All of them have a story to tell and it's imperative that the buyer does their due diligence in the course of closing to discover what red flags a property has.
This is entirely on the shoulders of Shai's real estate agent who should've discovered this property's history and shyster owner(s). Hope Shai's legal challenge is accepted.
With how big this story is Im kind of shocked the harassing hasn't stopped or maybe Shai is just is done and doesn't really care if people stop or not.
If people who kidnapped and tortured a guy threatened to burn down my house, I wouldnt trust them to figure out the guy no longer lives there. I’d be out forever, especially if I had the resources like Shai to live somewhere else.
Ummmm they should absolute reverse this purchase this is insane
“Last December, court documents show, Mr. Pleterski was kidnapped by one of his aggrieved investors and four other men, then beaten and tortured over three days.”
Like they’re not fucking around 💀
The holding companies’ lawyers response to Shai’s complaint is hilarious
“Notwithstanding the fact that Aiden was abducted, any visit to the Property by an individual inquiring about its former occupant would be viewed as an entirely normal occurrence,” it said.
Nah this purchase is getting reversed for sure if this was concealed from him.
At this level of net worth, you should be having a team of professionals looking over all your finances.
invest in a gate, sideshow bob..
Yikes
The most stylish man in the world owns a house in Burlington. Astonishing.

I hope SGA get's his money back.
As for the Scammer I don't care much that he was kidnap and tortured.
