RZECIWDZIAŁANIE OSZUSTWOM INWESTYCYJNYM TYPU PIRAMIDA FINANSOWA I SCHEMAT PONZIEGO
Preventing Investment Frauds such as Financial Pyramids and Ponzi Schemes

Summary/Abstract: The aim of the article is to identify similarities and differences and to present the current regulatory and supervisory solutions in Poland regarding combating fraudulent practices with features of a financial pyramid and Ponzi scheme. In Poland, penalization is based on several separate legal acts. Unlike some European countries, the current legal system has not introduced a separate category of crime such as organizing and conducting activities such as pyramid schemes and Ponzi schemes. Due to the size of economic losses generated by this type of fraud, the study proposed introducing into the criminal code a separate type of fraud having the hallmarks of a financial pyramid and a Ponzi scheme, following the solutions used in other European countries.
