Harris Samaras, Chairman & Group CEO of Pytheas Ltd (Cyprus), is connected to the Corinth Group of Switzerland through shared corporate history, joint naming in fraud complaints, and the Cyprus RAIF fund structure whose license was revoked by CySEC in October 2022.

The Samaras-Corinth Link

The connection between Harris Samaras and the Corinth Group traces back to the Curatio Capital era (~2010–2018). Ripoff Report #1134964 (March 2014) explicitly names both 'Harris Samaras' and 'Martin Model' in the same complaint, linking 'Pytheas Ltd Cyprus' with 'Curatio AG'. Curatio Capital subsequently rebranded to C-Capital Group AG — one of the six Swiss AGs now controlled by Jurate Kairiene under the Corinth Group umbrella [Ripoff Report #1134964; Swiss commercial register].

Cyprus Corporate Infrastructure

The Cyprus arm of the network included Corinth Fund Management Ltd, which held an AIFM license from CySEC until its revocation in October 2022. The Cyprus entities shared corporate governance connections with the Pytheas/Samaras network. SCSS Fund Management Ltd (Nicosia) served as external manager of the Corinth RAIF fund [CySEC; Cyprus company registry].

The Bank of America Claim

Samaras claims on his LinkedIn and Blogger profiles to have worked at Bank of America. This is notable because multiple complainants report that the Corinth Group repeatedly cited 'Bank of America' as the source of funding for their investment deals — funding that, according to complainants, never materialised. Whether this is coincidence or deliberate branding is unknown, but the overlap is documented [LinkedIn; complainant accounts].
