In spring 2023, Gilgeous-Alexander purchased a lakefront property in Burlington, Ontario that was previously occupied by bankrupt cryptocurrency trader Aiden Pleterski. Within days of moving in, Gilgeous-Alexander moved out due to security concerns, and shortly thereafter filed a lawsuit seeking to reverse the purchase. He alleges that the seller, a real estate investor who had leased the property to Pleterski, disclosed neither the property's link to the trader, nor various threats that have been made against the property by Pleterski's investors.{{cite web |url=https://www.nytimes.com/2023/11/15/world/canada/shai-gilgeous-alexander-house-crypto.html |title=For an N.B.A. Star, a Dream House Became a Nightmare |first=Ian |last=Austen |work=The New York Times |date=November 15, 2023 |access-date=November 18, 2023}}{{cite web |url=https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/toronto/nba-star-lawsuit-void-purchase-mansion-ontario-crypto-king-1.7015253 |title=The basketball star, the Crypto King and the $8.4M mansion |first=Nicole |last=Brockbank |work=CBCNews.ca |date=November 2, 2023 |access-date=November 18, 2023}} Gilgeous-Alexander won his lawsuit and was able to undo the purchase of the home, and the appeal by the real estate investor was denied.{{cite web |last1=Brockbank |first1=Nicole |title=Canadian NBA star wins lawsuit to undo purchase of mansion where Ontario Crypto King lived {{!}} CBC News |url=https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/toronto/basketball-star-shai-gilgeous-alexander-wins-lawsuit-undo-home-sale-1.7052140 |website=CBC |access-date=22 February 2025}}{{cite web |last1=Arnold |first1=Chris |title=Ontario court dismisses appeal on Burlington home previously owned by crypto king, NBA player |url=https://www.burlingtontoday.com/local-news/ontario-court-dismisses-appeal-on-burlington-home-previously-owned-by-crypto-king-nba-player-9345400 |website=BurlingtonToday.com |access-date=22 February 2025 |language=en |date=13 August 2024}}
