Law enforcement officers have successfully apprehended several individuals involved in the Creators Alliance investment scheme.
On May 13, officers from the Financial Intelligence Authority (FIA) and the Royal St. Lucia Police Force (RSLPF) executed a comprehensive island-wide operation, conducting searches at multiple premises.
This operation was the result of months of thorough investigations by a collaborative task force consisting of the FIA, the Major Crime Unit of the RSLPF, and the Financial Services Regulatory Authority (FSRA), targeting the suspected pyramid investment scheme that has been operating locally and regionally since June 2024.
In March 2025, the scheme came to an abrupt halt, leading to significant financial losses for thousands of investors in Saint Lucia and across the region. The interagency task force uncovered numerous violations of Saint Lucia’s financial services legislation by key individuals implicated in this venture.
Members of the public are urged to exercise extreme caution and refrain from investing in unregulated or suspected pyramid or “Ponzi” schemes, which consistently lead to financial ruin for investors.
Furthermore, the public is reminded of section 126 of the Consumer Protection Act, making participation in a “pyramid selling scheme” a criminal offense, punishable by fines of up to $5000 and/or imprisonment for up to two years.
