Harris Samaras (also known as H. Samaras) is identified in multiple fraud complaint reports as the Chairman & Group CEO of Pytheas Ltd, a Cyprus-based entity closely connected to the Corinth Group of Switzerland. The CySEC-regulated arm of the network had its AIFM license revoked in October 2022.

Who Is Harris Samaras?

Harris Samaras describes himself as an economist and Chairman & Group CEO of Pytheas Ltd, a Cyprus-registered entity. His LinkedIn and Blogger profiles describe him as having worked at Bank of America — the same bank that complainants say was repeatedly named by the Corinth Group as the supposed source of funding that never materialised [LinkedIn; Blogger; complainant accounts].

Connection to the Corinth Group

Multiple complainants and investigation records link Samaras to the Corinth Group network through the Curatio Capital era (~2010–2018). Complainants on Diebewertung.de specifically name 'H. Samaras' alongside 'Corinth' and 'Curatio' in their fraud reports. The Verbraucherschutzforum Berlin report is titled 'Harris Samaras / Pytheas Cyprus — no man of my confidence' [Diebewertung.de; Verbraucherschutzforum Berlin, December 2018].

CySEC License Revocation

Corinth Fund Management Ltd in Cyprus — the sole regulated entity in the network — had its Alternative Investment Fund Manager (AIFM) license revoked by CySEC in October 2022. The Cyprus entities are connected to the Pytheas/Samaras network through shared corporate governance [CySEC AIFM register].

Complaint Reports

Harris Samaras is referenced in the earliest Ripoff Report (#1134964, March 2014) which names 'Pytheas Ltd Cyprus' and 'Curatio AG' alongside 'Harris Samaras' and 'Martin Model' in the title. The Diebewertung.de report from 2018 also names H. Samaras in connection with Corinth/Curatio. Complainants describe Samaras as a key figure in the Cyprus side of the network [Ripoff Report; Diebewertung.de].
