The money you invested was supposed to bring you a real return? You dreamed of a house with an ocean view? Instead, all you get are empty promises. You are fed stories about lack of funds, recovery plans, issues with construction companies, yet at the same time you see Marek Zmyslowski and Yaritza Reyes living a luxurious life.
Have you ever wondered who is funding that lifestyle? We’ll answer: IT’S YOU.
Sit down. What you’re about to read will not be pleasant.
According to our calculations (conservative ones), over the last two years more than 13,500,000 USD has flowed into Samana Group from investors. What happened to this money? The information we gathered comes from investors, employees and partners of Samana Group. Do you want to add something? Contact us. You’ll find our email address at the end.
We reached out to clients who invested in the apartments in Nomad City Condo. It turned out that to this day there are no official plans approved by Dominican authorities. There aren’t even foundations yet. Some clients bought their apartments as far back as two years ago. During our investigation, it turned out that the same apartment had been sold to several different clients. Contracts were signed for identical units.
Didn’t it ever strike you that in every Samana Group photo there’s always the same single excavator? Why is there still just a hole in the ground?
Remember Casa Hybrid in El Valle? That property (a company asset) was quickly sold to avoid creditors. The money was swiftly moved out of the company. What’s more, Marek Zmyslowski signed reservation agreements with multiple clients and has still not returned their reservation fees of 5,000 USD.
Empty promise
You may remember how Marek and Yaritza promised 5,000 USD for women who wanted to start a business in Samana (Foundation link). They recorded one video showing an alleged beneficiary, but the whole thing was staged. The video features only close associates of Marek Zmyslowski. Emails with applications went straight to the trash. Women in Samana received no support at all.
Have you wondered why Yaritza Reyes, a professional model, suddenly decided to win the hearts of Poles by joining TOP MODEL or appearing in advertising campaigns? You’re smart. Think about it.
Have you read this article? You’ll find many similarities there to what is happening in Samana Group and Marek’s activities in Africa, especially information on how Marek had conflicts with his partners. The scenario repeats itself, and Zmyslowski is always “the victim”.
“But Marek cleared himself of all accusations, I read the book,” someone may say. We have witnesses who say they heard from the author himself that much of that book is literary fiction created for narrative purposes.
Conflicts with partners
And since we’re speaking about partner conflicts… Marek claimed he fell into dispute with “minority shareholders” but he never said who these shareholders were. He always called them minority shareholders, but the truth is different. They are Shannon Robertson and Tomas Avogadro, the co-founders of the project. Doesn’t it strike you that the two closest people ended up in conflict with Marek Zmyslowski?
By the way, Marek Zmyslowski has fallen into conflict with everyone he paid: employees, investors, partners, construction subcontractors, architects, brokers and the marketing agency, always claiming the other side was at fault. The real reason behind these conflicts is payment delays.
On November 30th, a response from Zmyslowski appeared on this platform, with the following content: “Referring to the insinuation of 'continuous Vacation' - it just doesn't respond to reality. The last two-day trip with my wife took place two years ago, in the form of a wedding gift from a partner. We spent our last full vacation over three years ago. The last three years have been a time for us to focus on work and on solving challenges that we communicate transparently about from the very beginning”. Really? The photos tell a different story. We also reached participants of the Miami event from November 27th, 2024.
“The meeting was held in a small group. Yaritza and Marek were in a big hurry. One real estate agent asked Yaritza why we were ending the meeting so quickly. She replied that they were flying early the next morning for their honeymoon trip to Turkey.”![]()

Where is the money?
We also reached an investor who handed over his apartment as an asset swap in exchange for a house in Nomad City. The apartment in Szczecin (Poland), according to Marek’s promise, was supposed to secure all Polish investors. However, it was sold a few months ago, which Zmyslowski confirmed during the spring webinar. "In the end, the result is the same... There was a significant issue with obtaining a satisfactory loan amount. The lenders simply did not accept the appraisers' valuations and offered loan amounts that were only 25% of the amount declared by the appraiser." Why did he do it quietly and only explain it in a defensive manner when an uncomfortable question was asked?
Samana Group’s website no longer shows all the faces of the project. Have you wondered why? These people figured out what was going on. Those who genuinely wanted to build the project are no longer working with him. People who were with him daily. Why did they suddenly walk away overnight?
Have you wondered who is actually responsible for construction in Nomad City? Someone with no experience whatsoever in development projects. Privately, it’s Yaritza Reyes’ sister - Belen Reyes. Have you wondered why Marek Zmyslowski is suddenly looking for a CFO? Someone will become the scapegoat.
Broken agreements
Investor webinars are still held on moderated platforms where participants cannot appear on camera nor speak, and can only ask written questions, which are moderated before the hosts read them. Supposedly an open meeting for everyone is scheduled for December 1, 2025 - it may happen for the first time.
We spoke to many investors who have been waiting months or even years for their money to be returned. On average, every three months they received letters from the company, specifically from Marek Zmyslowski, about alleged problems. In one of the letters, Marek promised that if by June 30, 2025 he did not return the funds with interest, the company would be recapitalized by the founders. This did not happen, despite his official sale of shares in SunRoof.
Let’s talk about shares in Samana Group. To this day, most people who were supposed to receive shares have not received them. Once again SG violated the agreements. And what about loans? Of course, missing or delayed interest payments and pressure to convert loans into shares or into construction of an apartment. Want to receive cash? That’s not possible, even though the assurances were different. The high promised return was only meant to lure investors.
Zmyslowski repeatedly claimed he was putting all his private funds into the NOMAD CITY project. So who is sponsoring his participation in racing training and car races that he frequently joins? How much is the apartment in Złota 44 in Warsaw (Poland) that he and Yaritza have been renting for months? We checked. It is over 40,000 PLN / 11,000 USD per month. It seems this contradicts everything he says - he is not investing “everything into his life project”, instead the “life project” is funding their inflated lifestyle.
Has anyone been informed that Zmyslowski opened a new company in the Dominican Republic with a similar name? It is called GRUPO SAMANA REH SAS, tax number 133-45383-5. A similar name. Why did this happen quietly? Is this an attempt to “start from zero”?
By the way… are you aware that Marek has serious drug problems? He regularly uses cocaine. We have spoken to party acquaintances and obtained information about his rehab. Yes, he doesn’t just “supplement testosterone”. He did it in Nigeria, he does it in Poland and in the Dominican Republic.
We also confirmed that Michał Ptasznik, the Sales Director, is hiding from clients and investors. He even changed his phone number and social media accounts to avoid contact with investors and clients of Samana Group. Previously, however, when signing a sales or investment agreement, he was available even late at night. Once problems appeared, he avoided responding or stalled.
Perhaps you paid to Samana Group in cryptocurrency? We encourage you to thoroughly check the wallet to which you transferred funds (anyone can do it, this data is public): is it linked to other wallets? Are your funds still there? We identified the path the money took from one wallet alone (over 730,000 USD). We determined that instead of investing, Marek immediately sent the funds through a complex chain of anonymous wallets, which is a classic money laundering scheme used to hide the trail.
Legal Actions
If you still lack evidence that Samana Group is a scam, read what others say: GoWork.pl.
In our opinion, payment delays are intentional actions aimed at siphoning money out of the company. Fraud is a crime.
If you feel deceived, we encourage you to report this to the Polish Prosecutor’s Office. The scale of the fraud is enormous. We are talking about a minimum of 50 million PLN. These are conservative estimates. Do not let yourself be fooled any longer. This site aims to warn you against SAMANA GROUP and to encourage you to contact law enforcement. Do not be afraid. We want to warn you about Marek Zmyslowski and his wife, Yaritza Reyes, who is currently trying to build her personal brand in Poland. You cannot allow this. Every report to the Prosecutor’s Office will help ensure that those responsible for the fraud are arrested, charged and held accountable.
If Samana Group delays payment of your invoices claiming they have no money (while Marek and Yaritza use company funds for their luxury lifestyle), this is a crime under Art. 300 §2 of the Penal Code (hindering or reducing creditor satisfaction). Other crimes include:
- Art. 286 §1 (fraud)
- Art. 296 §1 (causing damage in economic relations)
- Art. 301 §1 (creditor prejudice)
- Art. 299 (money laundering)
If you suspect anything - do not wait, report the case to the prosecutor's office. Write a notice of suspected criminal activity. Authorities are obliged to investigate. Do not fear anything.
Report the case to the prosecutor's office:
