Lion Group Corporation Review: 365 day ROI Ponzi
Lion Group Corporation provides no information on its website about who owns or runs the company.
Lion Group Corporation’s website domain (“liongroupcorp.com”), was registered on October 19th, 2021.
Lion Group Corporation is listed as the domain owner, through an address in Estonia.
The provided address cites Vabamatsi, a village in Estonia. It is highly likely Lion Group Corporation is based out of Vabamatsi, or has any actual ties to Estonia.

Referral Commissions
Lion Group Corporation pays referral commissions via a unilevel compensation structure.
A unilevel compensation structure places an affiliate at the top of a unilevel team, with every personally recruited affiliate placed directly under them (level 1):
If any level 1 affiliates recruit new affiliates, they are placed on level 2 of the original affiliate’s unilevel team.
If any level 2 affiliates recruit new affiliates, they are placed on level 3 and so on and so forth down a theoretical infinite number of levels.
Lion Group Corporation caps payable unilevel team levels at six.
Referral commissions are paid as a percentage of investment made across these six levels as follows:
- level 1 (personally recruited affiliates) – 15%
- level 2 – 5%
- level 3 – 4%
- level 4 – 3%
- level 5 – 2%
- level 6 – 1%

Lion Group Corporation Conclusion
Lion Group Corporation represents itself as
an exciting and highly prospective business opportunity that brings innovative technology to the cryptocurrency market.
External revenue is purportedly derived via “crypto trading”, of which there is no evidence. Cryptocurrency trading is the go-to cliche for MLM crypto Ponzi schemes.
Furthermore despite its investment scheme clearly constituting a securities offering, Lion Group Corporation provides no evidence it has registered with financial regulators in any jurisdiction.
This means that, at a minimum, Lion Group Corporation is committing securities fraud.
As it stands the only verifiable source of revenue entering Lion Group Corporation is new investment.
Using new investment to pay affiliates a daily return makes Lion Group Corporation a Ponzi scheme.
As with all MLM Ponzi schemes, once affiliate recruitment dries up so too will new investment.
This will starve Lion Group Corporation of ROI revenue, eventually prompting a collapse.
The math behind Ponzi schemes guarantees that when they collapse, the majority of participants lose money.
They can’t even keep their own bullshit straight. In that “Packages” screen shot, the “Star 2” numbers are 1%/day in all columns except the “Daily” one, where it’s 1.3%.
The “Weekly” for “Star 4” should be $45.5, not $45 even.
Yet another gang of Ponzi scammers who can’t even do simple math. It doesn’t exactly inspire confidence.
