Audit log

Every state-changing event for Hellenic Artificial Intelligence Team Association (AT Team Greece): moderation decisions on community submissions, plus corrections and updates from the news pipeline. URL-based decisions are designed to carry three independent witnesses — the original source, an Internet Archive snapshot, and a Solana memo signed by our publicly-disclosed publisher key. Archive coverage is still being backfilled, so each decision below reports its own snapshot status rather than assuming one exists.

Police allege the platform promised investors their capital would double within approximately 50 days through claimed AI-automated trading, describing the risk as minimal or non-existent, despite the entity allegedly lacking any license or regulatory authorization to offer investment services. Standard participation allegedly required a minimum deposit of around 800 euros, while a 'VIP' tier required 5,000 euros, with both tiers promised doubled returns. The structure allegedly relied on a pyramid/referral model in which members received recruitment bonuses for enlisting new investors, and early participants reportedly received apparent payouts before the operation halted withdrawals entirely. Authorities estimate the scheme collected more than 8 million euros (over $8 million) from more than 10,000 participants nationwide; in the Katerini area alone, investigators estimate roughly 1,842 members contributed approximately 2 million euros. These are allegations from an ongoing police investigation and have not been tested in court.","heading":"Alleged Pyramid Scheme Operation","severity":"critical","sources":[{"credibility":2,"name":"Greek crypto fraud arrests expose $8M scheme tied to military insiders — Cryptonomist","type":"news_article","url":"https://en.cryptonomist.ch/2026/10/03/greek-crypto-fraud-arrests/"},{"credibility":2,"name":"Greek police arrest 17 in crypto fraud scheme exceeding $8M — crypto.news","type":"news_article","url":"https://crypto.news/greek-police-arrest-17-in-crypto-fraud-scheme/"},{"credibility":2,"name":"Greek Soldiers Among Alleged Leaders of $8M Crypto Pyramid Scheme — Decrypt","type":"news_article","url":"https://decrypt.co/380040/greek-soldiers-among-alleged-leaders-of-8m-crypto-pyramid-scheme"},{"credibility":2,"name":"$8 million crypto pyramid: 17 people detained in Greece, including 9 military — Athens News / en.rua.gr","type":"news_article","url":"https://en.rua.gr/2026/10/02/8-million-crypto-pyramid-17-people-detained-in-greece-including-9-military/"}]},{"content":"Hellenic Police announced the arrest of 17 suspects in connection with the scheme, with reporting indicating the announcement occurred on or around October 2-3, 2026. Nine of those arrested were allegedly active-duty members of the Greek armed forces, including two noncommissioned officers who prosecutors allege held leadership roles within the network — one reportedly based in Pieria and one in Larissa. According to Greek outlet Ta Nea as reported by TO VIMA, the Larissa-based serviceman allegedly learned the scheme's methodology from a contact met abroad. A 44-year-old man identified as the leader of the Katerini-based association was reportedly remanded in custody after a magistrate and prosecutor rejected his account; six other defendants were released under restrictive conditions with bail set between 15,000 and 20,000 euros. An additional nine suspects were reportedly named in the case file as of early October 2026, including another military member, with some scheduled to appear before an investigating magistrate. Alleged charges include participation in a criminal organization, fraud, and money laundering; defendants have reportedly denied the charges. No convictions have been reported.","heading":"Arrests and Military Involvement","severity":"critical","sources":[{"credibility":1,"name":"Greek Soldiers to Face Questioning in $8 Million Crypto Scam — TO VIMA","type":"news_article","url":"https://www.tovima.com/society/greek-soldiers-to-face-questioning-in-8-million-crypto-scam/"},{"credibility":2,"name":"17 Arrested in Greece Over Crypto Pyramid Scheme Promising to Double Money in 50 Days — iefimerida.gr","type":"news_article","url":"https://iefimerida.gr/english/17-arrested-greece-over-crypto-pyramid-scheme-promising-double-money-50-days"},{"credibility":2,"name":"Greek Soldiers Among Alleged Leaders of $8M Crypto Pyramid Scheme — Decrypt","type":"news_article","url":"https://decrypt.co/380040/greek-soldiers-among-alleged-leaders-of-8m-crypto-pyramid-scheme"}]},{"content":"Reporting citing Greek investigators indicates the probe began in July 2026 after two anonymous tips were submitted through gov.gr, the Greek government's digital services portal, to the Katerini Sub-Directorate for Crime Investigation. As part of coordinated searches described as covering five offices and nine residences across Katerini, Thessaloniki, Larissa, Patras, and other locations including a Dodecanese island, police allege they seized 295,090 euros in cash, 32 mobile phones, 28 computers, 15 tablets, 38 USB storage devices, 16 storage drives, bank cards, a money-counting machine, and other items. One report additionally listed surveillance equipment and a signal pistol with ammunition among seized items; this detail has only been found in a single source and should be treated as lower-confidence. Officials reportedly stated 18 victims had formally come forward at the time of the announcement, with documented losses of about 55,970 euros among them, a much smaller figure than the overall alleged scheme total of more than 8 million euros, reflecting the early stage of victim identification.","heading":"Investigation Origin and Evidence Seized","severity":"high","sources":[{"credibility":2,"name":"Greek crypto fraud arrests expose $8M scheme tied to military insiders — Cryptonomist","type":"news_article","url":"https://en.cryptonomist.ch/2026/10/03/greek-crypto-fraud-arrests/"},{"credibility":2,"name":"$8 million crypto pyramid: 17 people detained in Greece, including 9 military — Athens News / en.rua.gr","type":"news_article","url":"https://en.rua.gr/2026/10/02/8-million-crypto-pyramid-17-people-detained-in-greece-including-9-military/"},{"credibility":2,"name":"Greek police arrest 17 in crypto fraud scheme exceeding $8M — crypto.news","type":"news_article","url":"https://crypto.news/greek-police-arrest-17-in-crypto-fraud-scheme/"}]},{"content":"Sources vary on the precise name of the organization behind the scheme. Some reporting refers to it as the 'Hellenic Artificial Intelligence Team Association' or 'AT Team Greece,' while other reporting, including TO VIMA (citing Ta Nea), describes it as the 'Association of Artificial Intelligence Friends in Katerini,' and other outlets call it the 'Katerini Artificial Intelligence Enthusiasts Association.' These may reflect translation differences of a single Greek-language name rather than distinct entities, but AVOID.NET has not identified an official registration record or primary-source document confirming a single authoritative English name.
