« Back to the main Samana Group investigation
Who is Krzysztof Kochanowski?
Krzysztof Kochanowski is a professionally licensed Polish attorney — an adwokat in the Polish legal classification — who serves as the President of Samana Group Poland, the Polish corporate vehicle of the Samana Group real estate enterprise. As both a licensed legal professional and a company president, he occupies a dual role: formal head of the Polish entity and its primary legal representative.
This dual position is significant. An adwokat in Poland is bound by the Code of Professional Ethics of the Polish Bar Association. Acting as the president of a company that investors accuse of fraud, while simultaneously serving as its lawyer, raises obvious professional responsibility questions that are increasingly being asked by those affected.
Role in Samana Group Poland
Samana Group Poland served as the primary fundraising and investor relations entity for Polish lenders who deposited money into Samana Group. Polish investors who lent funds through the crowdlending platforms Emiteo and Crowder — at promised annual yields of 12–16% — signed their loan agreements with entities connected to the Polish corporate structure, under which Krzysztof Kochanowski served as president.
During the fundraising phase, Kochanowski was described by Samana Group as a key part of the “professional team” that gave the investment structure credibility. His status as a licensed attorney was presented as part of the triple security system offered to lenders.
Unanswered investor demands
Following the breakdown of investor relations at Samana Group, multiple Polish lenders report that they sent formal payment demands to Krzysztof Kochanowski after repayment deadlines passed — and received no response.
One Polish client, who came forward following our June 11, 2026 publication, described the situation plainly:
For months he has been waiting in vain for a response to a payment demand sent after the repayment deadline for a loan granted to Samana Group. Marek Zmysłowski did not respond. Michał Ptasznik — Head of Sales, who before the loan agreement was signed was available at any hour, even late at night — did not respond. Neither did Krzysztof Kochanowski — Samana Group’s chief lawyer in Poland, a professionally licensed attorney.
This pattern — being available and responsive during the fundraising phase, then going silent once repayment is due — is consistent across multiple investor accounts from Poland, the United States and Spain.
Court proceedings in Poland
Polish courts have already issued payment orders against Samana Group entities. According to information from investors involved in the proceedings, Krzysztof Kochanowski — as president and legal representative of Samana Group Poland — has been employing various procedural tactics designed to extend litigation as long as possible:
- Filing objections and appeals that restart procedural timelines,
- Challenging jurisdictions and venues to force transfers between courts,
- Submitting procedural motions that cause delays without addressing the substance of investor claims,
- Leveraging his professional legal knowledge to identify every available procedural mechanism for delay.
The irony is stark: a professionally licensed attorney, bound by ethical obligations to the rule of law, is alleged to be using that very expertise to obstruct justice for the investors his company defrauded.
Reported asset transfers out of Poland
Increasingly, there are also reports of asset transfers out of Poland, designed to make enforcement of court judgments more difficult for creditors once those judgments become final. In Polish law, a creditor who obtains a judgment must still locate and seize assets to actually recover money. If assets have been moved abroad — for example to the Dominican Republic — enforcement becomes dramatically more complex and expensive.
Criminal notifications have been filed by investors with Polish prosecutors, concerning — among other things — suspicions of fraud, asset stripping, and preferential treatment of selected creditors. Investigators are looking into whether Krzysztof Kochanowski, in his capacity as company president, had knowledge of or participated in such transfers.
