Poland's UOKiK fines iGenius promoters 413,000 zloty for running a pyramid scheme

  • —Fines: Lewicki 99,000, Bialek 84,000, Janocha 72,000 zloty
  • —All six must publish statements about the UOKiK rulings on their sites and social media
  • —Five of them now promote Dubai-based project BE, Biernat promotes subscription platform UNIQ
  • —iGenius LLC rebranded as Conectiv LLC and moved to conectivglobal.com
Why it matters: The case signals that Polish regulators will pursue individual promoters of pyramid schemes, not just the companies, raising legal risk for similar 'financial education' ventures.
