Swiss Fraud Investigation: Corinth Group of Switzerland
A comprehensive investigation into fraud allegations against the Corinth Group of Switzerland, a network of Swiss-registered entities linked to advance fee collection across multiple continents.
The Swiss Entities
Six AGs at Stadtgartenweg 6, Chur are controlled by Jurate Kairiene. Martin Walter Model, described by Ripoff Report complainants as "well known within this up-front scam industry," resides at Seewis Dorf, Graubünden but holds no registered corporate role [Ripoff Report #1134964; Swiss Commercial Register].
Pattern of Allegations
Complainants from multiple countries describe identical experiences: professional presentations, corporate funding term sheets, advance fee demands, then scripted delays referencing external events (market conditions, regulatory changes). Refund clauses in term sheets (typically Article 26) are rendered unenforceable by escape clauses (Articles 5.6, 6.1, and 6.6) that allow unilateral termination "for whatever reason" [contract analysis].
Swiss Regulatory Gaps
The entities do not hold FINMA authorisation and are structured as holding companies rather than regulated financial service providers. This places them outside FINMA direct supervision. However, FINMA accepts complaints regarding potential unauthorised financial activity, and the Staatsanwaltschaft Graubünden can investigate fraud under Art. 146 StGB. The investigation recommends filing complaints with both authorities.
Key Facts
- Model holds no registered role despite complainant identification
- Contract escape clauses nullify refund provisions
- Entities fall outside FINMA direct supervision
