iGenius Fraud Charges: Poland Targets Gamechangers Polska
On April 22, 2025, Poland’s UOKiK filed civil iGenius fraud charges against six iGenius promoters—Adam Biernat, Filip Gaworski, Cezary Lewicki, Wioletta Białek, Adrianna Rudnicka, and Dominika Janosze—for operating a pyramid scheme via Gamechangers Polska. UOKiK’s March 2025 warning flagged iGenius for promising wealth through recruitment, not trading, with promoters showcasing luxury lifestyles on social media.
Gamechangers Polska, tied to iGenius’ Diamond and Platinum ranks, faces fines up to 10% of turnover. iGenius, owned by SEC-registered Investview, settled fraud allegations in Ontario and Quebec in 2024, while an SEC probe into iGenius remains ongoing. X posts highlight UOKiK’s actions, but some deny fraud, claiming educational value.
Market Context and Sentiment
iGenius’ model, offering packages ($100–$1,500) and subscriptions ($100–$175), incentivizes recruitment over trading. Despite 85,000 global users (2,300 in Poland), reviews are mixed, with some praising community support and others calling it a “financial pyramid.” New Zealand’s FMA also cautioned against iGenius. Investview’s $375,000 Apex settlement and CoinRule’s unregistered trading raise red flags.
Risks and Actions for Investors
iGenius’ fraud charges signal regulatory risks. Investors should avoid high-cost subscriptions and monitor SEC updates for potential U.S. action. Verify platforms via trusted regulators before investing.
