Colombian regulators fined three promoters of the collapsed OmegaPro Ponzi scheme in 2022, imposing penalties totaling over $21,000 USD. The fines followed earlier warnings issued by the Superintendencia Financiera de Colombia (SFC) against the fraudulent operation. The SFC also issued a second warning in late 2022 and ordered another promoter to cease illegal activities.

Angie Amaya received a fine of $8,564 USD on May 6, 2022. Hugo Fernando Hernández Rodríguez and José Rolando Rodríguez Loaiza were each fined $30 million Colombian Pesos, equivalent to approximately $6,423 USD, on June 3 and June 30, respectively. These penalties are publicly documented on the SFC’s website under resolutions 0536, 0639, and 0640.

The SFC’s actions intensified as OmegaPro began to falter in November 2022. A second securities fraud warning explicitly named OmegaPro and its numerous associated entities, including OMP, OMP Money, and Digital Group. The warning stated that these entities lacked authorization to operate in Colombia and were unlawfully promoting Forex investments. This marked a significant escalation of regulatory scrutiny against the scheme.

The SFC had initially alerted the Colombian public to OmegaPro's illicit activities in December 2021. The subsequent actions in 2022 demonstrated a sustained effort to curb the scheme’s operations within the country. On December 29, 2022, the SFC issued a cease and desist order to Chenny Andrea Ramirez Alvarez, commanding her to immediately halt the promotion of OmegaPro products and remove any content that falsely suggested she possessed authorization to market foreign financial instruments to Colombian residents.

OmegaPro officially declared bankruptcy in November 2022. Many of its victims appear to be located in Colombia, the scheme's largest source of website traffic according to SimilarWeb data. These investors are reportedly now facing further exploitation through a related entity known as Broker Group, which is allegedly facilitating an "exit scam." SimilarWeb data consistently shows Colombia as the primary driver of traffic to both OmegaPro's and Broker Group's websites.

The purported reason for OmegaPro's collapse, communicated to investors, was a hacker attack. However, the increasing regulatory pressure from Colombia, its primary investor recruitment hub, is a more plausible cause for the scheme's demise. Co-founders Andreas Szakacs and Mike Sims, along with promoters Eric Worre and Dilawar Singh, have not publicly commented on the company's collapse. The SFC's continued enforcement actions signal a firm stance against unregistered financial promotions targeting Colombian citizens.
