Rhea-AI Filing Summary

Investview, Inc. reported that the Polish Office of Competition and Consumer Protection (UOKiK) has issued an administrative decision against its iGenius unit in Poland. UOKiK found that aspects of the iGenius business model violate Polish laws on unfair commercial practices, including rules prohibiting pyramid-style promotional schemes, and imposed a fine of PLN 14,668,589 (approximately USD $4 million) plus a cease-and-desist order.

Investview disagrees with the decision based on its interpretation of Polish law and plans to use all available appeal rights before a Polish court, during which it expects to continue operating in Poland while evaluating potential business adjustments. The company warns that an unsuccessful appeal could lead to payment of the fine and require modification, suspension, or discontinuation of a material portion of its Polish iGenius operations, and that similar actions by other regulators in Europe or the United States could materially adversely affect its business, financial condition, results of operations, or prospects.

Positive

  • None.

Negative

  • Polish regulator decision with PLN 14,668,589 (about USD $4 million) fine and cease-and-desist order against the iGenius unit, with potential for materially adverse business and financial impact if appeals fail or other regulators act similarly.

Insights

Regulatory decision in Poland creates meaningful legal, operational and earnings risk.

The Polish competition authority UOKiK has issued an administrative decision against Investview’s iGenius business in Poland, concluding that elements of its model violate national rules on unfair practices, including pyramid-style promotional schemes. The decision currently carries an administrative fine of PLN 14,668,589 (about USD $4 million) and a cease-and-desist order, although enforcement is stayed pending appeal to a Polish court.

Investview states it disagrees with UOKiK’s conclusions and intends to pursue all appeal and legal remedies, while continuing Polish operations in the normal course and considering operational changes. The company explicitly notes that an unsuccessful appeal could force it to pay the fine and to modify, suspend, or discontinue certain iGenius activities or a material portion of its Polish operations, with potential adverse effects on its business, financial condition, results of operations, or prospects.

The disclosure also highlights possible knock-on risk: similar inquiries or proceedings from other regulators in the European Union or the United States could lead to additional fines or decisions, which the company says could materially adversely impact operations in Europe or the United States, given the significance of iGenius to overall revenues and profitability. Future company reports relating to this matter will be important for understanding how the Polish court appeal and any other regulatory contacts evolve.

Item 8.01 Other Events.

 

Recently announced findings by the Polish Office of Competition and Consumer Protection (“UOKiK”) impose substantial fine and a cease-and-desist order finding that the Company’s iGenius unit violated Polish laws that prohibit pyramid-style promotional schemes.

 

On December 29, 2025, Investview, Inc. (the “Company”) received notice, through a press release issued by the Polish Office of Competition and Consumer Protection (“UOKiK”), that UOKiK issued a formal administrative decision concluding its investigation of the Company’s iGenius business operations in Poland. In its decision, UOKiK determined that certain aspects of the iGenius business model, as conducted in Poland, violate Polish laws relating to unfair commercial practices, including laws prohibiting pyramid-style promotional schemes.

 

The decision imposes an administrative fine of PLN 14,668,589 (approximately USD $4 million) and includes an order requiring the Company to cease and desist the practices described in the decision. Under the terms of the decision, enforcement of the fine and cease and desist components thereof, is not final and is subject to conclusion of any appeal to the competent Polish court.

 

The Company does not agree with the conclusions set forth in the decision based upon its interpretation of Polish law as applied to the manner in which iGenius sells its products and services in Poland and intends to avail itself of all procedural rights of appeal and legal remedies available under applicable law.

 

During the appeal process, the Company expects to continue operations in Poland in the normal course, while evaluating such operational adjustments as may be appropriate to further demonstrate that the iGenius operations in Poland do not constitute an unlawful pyramid scheme.

 

While we intend to vigorously defend ourselves against the UOKiK decision, if we are ultimately unsuccessful in our defense of the matter on appeal, we could, among other things, be subject to the administrative fine imposed and may be required to modify, suspend or discontinue certain aspects of the iGenius operations or a material portion of our operations in Poland, which such outcome could have an adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition, results of operations, or prospects. Although we are not aware of any other claims, there is a possible risk that we could become exposed to similar inquiries or proceedings from other regulators in the European Union or the United States, which such potential actions themselves could expose the Company to further fines or decisions which could have similar adverse impact on our operations in Europe or the United States, all of which could have a materially adverse impact on the Company’s business, financial condition, results of operations, or prospects given the significance of the iGenius operations to the overall size of the Company’s operations, revenues and profitability.

 

The Company will continue to monitor the matter and will provide updates as required by applicable law. The Company’s disclosure of this matter is intended solely to satisfy its reporting obligations and does not constitute an admission of liability.
