Authorities in Mauritius and Montenegro have launched investigations into the cryptocurrency platform DistributeX following allegations of operating a Ponzi scheme under the name ‘One Community.’ In Mauritius, the Financial Crimes Commission and the Anti-Money Laundering Unit arrested three suspects. Investigators suspect the platform promised gains from cryptocurrency-related activities in exchange for initial contributions and recruitment commissions. Evidence suggests the scheme may have involved at least 169 people through a chain of recruitment. In Montenegro, criminal complaints have been filed against the individuals behind the platform. Victims claim that more than 3,000 citizens have been affected, with estimated losses reaching millions of euros. These legal actions follow a large conference held by the organization in Budva, where organizers distributed certificates to ‘assistants’ and encouraged community expansion. ## Timeline ### 2026-09-01: DistributeX platform faces criminal complaints for suspected multi-million euro fraud Multiple criminal complaints have been filed in Montenegro against the DistributeX platform following suspected multi-million euro cryptocurrency and financial fraud affecting over 3,000 citizens. 3 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/distributex-platform-faces-criminal-complaints-for-suspected-multi-million-euro-fraud ### 2026-08-26: Mauritian authorities arrest three suspects in DistributeX investigation Mauritian authorities have arrested three suspects as part of an investigation into DistributeX, a cryptocurrency platform suspected of operating a Ponzi scheme through a recruitment chain known as ‘One Communu 2 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/mauritian-authorities-arrest-three-suspects-in-distributex-investigation --- Cite as: DistributeX cryptocurrency fraud investigation.
