Alec Theunissen & the Corinth Group: What Complainants Allege
Alec Theunissen serves as UK Managing Director of the Corinth Group of Switzerland. Over 30 complainants across 7 jurisdictions allege a consistent pattern of advance-fee collection by the Corinth network, with no investment deals funded. This page summarises the publicly available evidence.
The Advance-Fee Pattern
Complainants describe the same sequence: (1) invitation to Chur for meetings with Martin Walter Model, (2) presentation of investment term sheets, (3) payment of EUR 30,000–500,000 in 'Cost Contributions' or security deposits, (4) extended delays blamed on external factors, (5) no funding, no refund. Alec Theunissen is described as the person managing client communication and UK contracting throughout this process [Ripoff Report #1134964, March 2014; #1344693, December 2016; Diebewertung.de, 2018].
What the Public Record Shows
Theunissen has been director of 32+ UK companies, 30+ dissolved or in liquidation. His company Corinth Management Services Ltd never filed accounts and entered compulsory liquidation in January 2026. He holds no FCA registration and no financial professional qualifications have been identified. He maintains two separate Companies House officer IDs [Companies House; FCA register].
Why This Matters
The Corinth Group network has been operating under at least five sequential corporate identities since the mid-2000s: APAHML (Hong Kong), Arcis Consortium, Curatio Capital, Corinth Group, and Three Tuns. No entity in the network currently holds regulatory authorisation from FINMA, FCA, or CySEC. CySEC revoked the only regulated entity's license in October 2022 [CySEC AIFM register; Swiss commercial register].
