HotNews No. 149: Zionix Global – Ponzi Scheme Collapses Again
Dear Clients,
Zionix Global has collapsed for the second time, with withdrawals now disabled. Around December 1, 2025, CEO Jenna Zwagil informed investors that withdrawals would not be allowed unless additional funds were committed. US investors have been completely blocked from accessing their accounts.
Background and Context
Zionix Global is a Dubai-based reboot of the collapsed Zater Capital Ponzi scheme. The real operators remain hidden, while the platform provides no verifiable information about its trading activities. Zionix Global is not registered to offer securities or regulated investments in any jurisdiction.
Claims about a “trading bot” are a ruse to explain missing funds. In reality, new investments are used to pay earlier participants, while withdrawals are now frozen.
Temporary Withdrawal Pause and NFTBot
To prevent mass withdrawals during the holiday period (December and January), Zionix Global announced a temporary pause on withdrawals for up to 60 days. Simultaneously, the platform is promoting a new NFT-based scheme, NFTBot:
- Limited collection of 5,000 NFTs, priced from 0.47 to 0.75 ETH each.
- Purchasing an NFT supposedly grants access to an AI-driven trading bot promising up to 2% daily profit.
- In reality, this is a second unregistered Ponzi scheme, as profits still depend entirely on new investments, not real trading.
US Investors at Risk
Zwagil claims that US investors are blocked due to “regulatory tightening,” which is false. US law has prohibited unregistered securities and commodities fraud for decades. The so-called NFTBot or US-friendly bot remains a fraudulent scheme with a high risk of loss.
Conclusion
Zionix Global is executing a classic exit scam:
- Freezing withdrawals to retain funds over the holiday period.
- Offering a new investment scheme (NFTBot) to attract additional funds.
- If enough money is not raised, communication ceases, and the operators disappear.
Investors should recognize this as a classic Ponzi scheme with an additional NFT layer, where losses are almost inevitable.
