Olympic Champion Amaury Leveaux Faces Fraud Complaint Over Crypto Project

Prosecutors in Paris received a September complaint alleging €100,000 fraud tied to Leveaux’s Spantale crypto venture.

Overview

  • The filing, confirmed by the plaintiff’s lawyer, cites fraud, breach of trust and money laundering and targets a 2021 token scheme linked to Spantale and AEL Token.
  • The parents of a young equestrian say they transferred €100,000 after a written commitment that their stake would be reimbursed if the token price fell.
  • Their crypto wallet reportedly showed about €2.5 million in January 2022, then became inaccessible and was emptied by April 2023 with no repayment.
  • The plaintiffs’ lawyer argues the platform never functioned and the tokens had no utility, while web links that once pointed to Spantale are now inactive.
  • Leveaux denies any scam, says he did not profit, and is preparing his own criminal complaint against the company behind the project as the case moves to judicial review.
