The fraud at the heart of “I Want More” centered around a Ponzi scheme orchestrated by a group led by a man named Robert G., who promised exorbitant returns on investments in foreign currency exchange (Forex). Between 2017 and 2019, Robert G. and his associates convinced over 13,000 individuals to invest approximately 45 million Polish zloty (roughly $11.5 million USD). The scheme operated through a network of recruiters who were incentivized with commissions, creating a pyramid-like structure.
Authorities began investigating in 2019 after numerous complaints were filed by investors who were unable to withdraw their funds. Robert G. and several key members of the association were arrested and charged with fraud, money laundering, and leading a criminal group. The investigation revealed that the funds collected from investors were not actually used for Forex trading, but were instead diverted to personal expenses and used to pay earlier investors, maintaining the illusion of profitability.
In November 2023, Robert G. was sentenced to 12 years in prison, and several accomplices received varying prison terms. The court also ordered the confiscation of assets acquired through the fraudulent scheme, though recovering the full amount of the stolen funds remains a challenge for the victims. The film aims to depict the mechanics of the scam and the devastating impact it had on the lives of those who lost their savings.
