1. Introduction to CoinPlex
CoinPlex established itself as one of the most significant crypto scams of the year in Poland. Launched in August 2024, the application presented itself as an automated trading platform using “advanced AI” capable of generating high profits daily, with an advertised risk that was nearly nonexistent.
Its polished interface, promotional messages, testimonial videos, and technological storytelling quickly attracted a large community. Firefighters, athletes, entrepreneurs, or ordinary individuals: CoinPlex reached all demographics, creating the illusion of a solid and sustainable project.
Behind this professional veneer, however, the platform was based on a Ponzi scheme almost identical to that of ACCGN, this time targeting Poland with a more aggressive and better-organized strategy.
2. The Scam Model: Mechanism, Promises, Reality
CoinPlex promised daily returns through a “quantization” system, a button that users were encouraged to activate several times a day. With just a few clicks, it was supposed to generate regular profits, automatically calculated by a “proprietary algorithm.”
However, no proof was ever provided. No audits, no history, no transparent data. It was all a facade designed to attract users looking for quick profits and automated solutions.
Like all pyramid schemes, initial profits were funded by new deposits. As long as enough people joined the system, CoinPlex appeared to work. Early members withdrew small amounts, shared their “success,” and reinforced the snowball effect.
But it was all just for show. Once trust was established, the mechanism flipped: withdrawals were blocked, additional payments were demanded, and then the application disappeared entirely.
CoinPlex was never a trading tool. It was a sophisticated Ponzi scheme.
3. Events and Meetings
To establish its credibility, CoinPlex organized numerous events in Poland. Local meetings, seminars, “professional” presentations in hotels or rented halls: everything was staged to reassure and convince.
Local teams acted as relays and “ambassadors.” They showed off their results, explained how to use the app, and gave the impression of mastering a serious investment product. Some members even brought their relatives, colleagues, or community members, convinced they were part of a reliable project.
These meetings created a strong human connection. Seeing firefighters, athletes or local figures participate gave an impression of legitimacy. It was precisely this social environment that allowed CoinPlex to achieve a higher-than-average level of trust for a crypto scam.
4. VIP Bonuses and Gifts
CoinPlex took the strategy even further than most Ponzi schemes.
To motivate the most active promoters, the organization offered prestigious gifts:
- Cars
- iPhones
- Watches
-
Trips
- Bonuses in USDT (Cryptocurrency)
Each person who received a reward was required to provide a thank-you video, often published on social media or on Telegram, to attract even more users.
These videos played a major role in the expansion of CoinPlex. They gave the impression of a collective, almost community-based success. They featured Poles from various backgrounds… and even, in some cases, a Frenchman identified among the “winners.”
This reward strategy, seemingly very expensive, is actually typical of well-established Ponzi schemes: it serves to buy the loyalty of promoters and fuel internal propaganda.
5. The Collapse and Consequences in Poland
When CoinPlex finally stopped working, the impact was massive. The application collapsed in August 2025, withdrawals were blocked overnight, and access to the app and communication channels disappeared.
On September 1, 2025, the Central Bureau for Combating Cybercrime in Rzeszów arrested 9 individuals involved in promoting and organizing the pyramid scheme, accused of fraud and money laundering.
During these operations, assets and cash worth approximately 1.5 million złoty (≈ 413,000 USD) were seized.
Victims quickly numbered in the thousands. In Poland, the case generated significantly more noise than the collapse of ACCGN in France. Local media covered it extensively, class-action lawsuits were filed, and several local promoters were identified by the authorities. Some had their accounts frozen and their cars or other material assets seized for restitution to the victims. Others had to appear before a Polish court for active participation in this Ponzi scheme.
In the usual pattern:
→ the masterminds behind the project, often based abroad, disappeared
→ local promoters bore the brunt of the consequences
→ victims lost almost their entire investment.
CoinPlex left a deep trauma in the affected communities.
6. Links with ACCGN & Fraud in Southeast Asia
The similarities between CoinPlex and ACCGN are too numerous to be a coincidence: a similar interface, identical discourse, copy-pasted Ponzi mechanisms, acquisition strategy, and even the final deletion methods.
Several analyses, testimonies, and cross-references indicate that both applications likely originated from the same criminal organization based in Southeast Asia.
These networks, operating from fraud compounds in Myanmar, Laos, Dubai, or Cambodia, are known for:
Launching fraudulent crypto applications in series
Targeting different countries to cover their tracks
Exploiting local relays
Disappearing as soon as pressure mounts
CoinPlex appears to have been their most successful operation: a long-lasting presence, a remarkably effective marketing campaign, and a level of trust rarely achieved in this type of scam.
ACCGN, which later appeared in France, follows the same model with less success, but still enough to claim thousands of victims.
Conclusion
CoinPlex will be remembered as one of the most significant crypto Ponzi schemes in Europe. By relying on a strong emotional strategy, local events, spectacular rewards, and professional staging, the criminal organization behind the project managed to trap thousands of people.
The parallel with ACCGN is clear: same code, same method, same origin, only the target changes.
At a time when fraudulent applications are multiplying, caution is essential.
When platforms promise high daily returns, risk-free profits, and disproportionate gifts, the question is not “is this a scam?”, but rather “when will it collapse?”
