Every key position in the Corinth network is held by a family member or a trusted associate. Martin Walter Model directs the operation and his name appears in no register. His wife signs for every Swiss company, his sons hold the UK vehicles, his daughter sits on the Credit Committee and his sister signed for C-Capital until 2025. Alec Theunissen fronts the UK end with his son, and a Chur fiduciary sat on the board and hosts the registered address.
Below: who they are, what the public records show, and what complainants say about each of them.

Martin Walter Model is a Swiss economist based in Chur. Multiple independent complainants, in accounts running from March 2014 to 2026, identify him as the directing mind behind every iteration of this operation — APAHML, Arcis Consortium, Curatio Capital, the Corinth Group and Three Tuns Investment Holdings. A 2014 complainant described him as “well known within this up-front scam industry”.

Wife & Signatory Across Six Swiss AGs
Jurate Kairiene, a Lithuanian national identified as Martin Model's wife, holds individual signature authority across the six Corinth AGs historically associated with Stadtgartenweg 6, Chur. Her appointment at C-Capital Group AG was recorded in the Swiss notice published 1 December 2025, which also recorded Rita Mlodischewski’s departure; this does not mean she held the role at all six companies throughout their history. That includes Corinth Management Services AG, the company that invoices clients EUR 80,000 and receives the money at UBS.
UK Director at the Centre of the Corporate Structure
Alec Louw Theunissen, a South African national based in Kent, is described by complainants as their UK contact once the fee was paid, handling client communications and term-sheet execution through the “Transaction Office”.

Family Signatory at C-Capital until 2025
Rita Mlodischewski (née Model) held individual signature authority at C-Capital Group AG until 2025 — formerly CCG Curatio Capital Group AG, the company from which the Corinth network grew — and has been present in the network since at least December 2012. She is Martin Model’s sister.

Client & Fee Handling Operator
Brendton Anthony Theunissen is Alec Theunissen's son and the second generation of the Theunissen family in the operation. Multiple complainants independently identify him as a Corinth coordinator with a direct role in client engagement and fee collection, facilitating contact between complainants and Martin Model.

Credit Committee Member: Approvals, No Funding Provided
Angela Danielle Model is Martin Model's daughter. Complainants report that she relocated from Singapore to Switzerland to join the Corinth Group, and Corinth communications identify her as a member of the Credit Committee — the body the term sheets say approves funding. cgoch.com lists her as Head of Technology and Member of the Credit Committee, with a computer-science background.

Head of Operations — UK Corporate Structure
Marco Ernst Model is Martin Model's son. Companies House records him as the sole Person with Significant Control (75%+) of Centropa Investment Holdings Ltd, the UK holding company at the top of the structure above the SPVs later named as “lenders” in clients' contracts — giving the Model family ultimate ownership of the UK tree. Centropa was dissolved in November 2022, one month after CySEC revoked the fund licence.
Board Director & Fiduciary
Matthias Urs Baechler is a Chur fiduciary and Delegate of the Board of Montana AG (Montana Treuhand und Revision). A licensed fiduciary whose name, board seat and address all served the Corinth structure.

Son & Director Across UK SPVs
Justinas Kairys, Jurate Kairiene's son, is the name on the UK special-purpose vehicles — Venda Developments, Ilovo Paper, Kent Mikrogolf, Tswana Productions and Copper Moon Ozcorp. His mother is PSC of three; Three Tuns Capital Group of the other two.
No SPV has published accounts showing trading, employees or any funding advanced. Complainants report that UK SPVs are named as the “lending” party in contracts that never pay out.
South African Recruiter
Jurie Coetzee is identified in fraud complaint reports as the South African agent who introduced clients in South Africa and Kenya to the Curatio/Corinth network. The archived Curatio Capital Group website listed him as “Regional Director for Africa (Johannesburg)” from approximately 2014 to 2016, after which his profile was removed.
Johannesburg complainants in Ripoff Report #1344693 describe recruitment consistent with his network — local business owners introduced to Swiss “investment” and charged advance fees. Comments on the same report state that South African police and Interpol were involved.
Head of Legal Affairs – External · RAIF Director
Dr. Conrad Weinmann is presented on cgoch.com as the Corinth Group’s Head of Legal Affairs – External, described as a senior partner of the Zurich law firm Weinmann-Zimmerli. Cyprus registry records list him as a director of Corinth Capital RAIF V.C.I.C. Ltd — the fund dissolved in January 2023, three months after the manager’s AIFM licence was revoked.
He therefore appears in two places at once: in the group’s public leadership presentation, where professional standing is used to reassure prospective clients, and on the board of the regulated vehicle at the centre of the Cyprus collapse.
No wrongdoing is alleged against the individuals listed below. They appear here because they are named in public registry records, in the Corinth Group’s own published materials or on complaint platforms.

Pytheas (Cyprus). Named with Martin Model in Ripoff Report #1134964 (March 2014). Diebewertung.de: Austrian investor alleges ~€1.5M lost. Verbraucherschutzforum Berlin (2018): 'Harris Samaras Pytheas Cyprus — no man of my confidence.' Pytheas (Cyprus) Ltd (HE 159209) dissolved.
Changoo & Associates, Toronto. Ripoff Report #1354982, posted in February 2017, concerns events in 2013. The complainant alleges a US$50,000 payment to Dale Changoo and a separate approximately US$180,000 payment to a group in Sweden in pursuit of Arcis Consortium funding, with losses exceeding US$200,000. Martin Model recommended Changoo on LinkedIn.
Changoo & Associates (C&A) disputes any suggestion that it was part of, controlled by, or knowingly participated in Corinth Group or Arcis conduct. C&A states that it acted independently as a capital adviser, received a US$50,000 advisory fee that it says was earned and non-refundable, and did not receive the separate approximately US$180,000 payment referenced in the underlying complaint. C&A further states that its relationship with Martin Model was limited to a historical referral arrangement and that it had no contemporaneous knowledge of the alleged misconduct attributed to other parties.

Principal representative of Integer Wealth Global S.A., Luxembourg — identified as an intermediary channel to Corinth/Curatio products, like W+ST Corporate Finance in Germany and Jurie Coetzee in South Africa.
Corinth's leadership page presents two members of the Model family without their surname, credits Alec Theunissen with degrees and 28 years of investment banking that no record supports, and still advertises registered investment funds three years after the licence was revoked. The leadership page is the pitch; the registers contradict it.
