    CoinMentors.eu: why we are concerned

    CoinMentors.eu presents itself as an educational and mentoring platform for “vetted investments”. In practice, however, it steers users to third-party products — including Polar Tensor, which multiple independent sources publicly flag as an AI-trading MLM Ponzi pattern. Because we know many people (and our users) who keep savings there, we want to say this publicly — so no one later asks us “why didn’t you warn?”.

    Status: 2026-08-03. This page is informational and summarizes the publicly available state of coinmentors.eu and third-party sources.

    coinmentors.eu [1]

    What we observed

    Polar Tensor promotion

    The platform and its mentors publicly steer users to Polar Tensor (polartensor.io) — a project that multiple independent sources (ScamAdviser, BehindMLM, Dehek, Jesse Singh) describe as a high-risk AI-trading MLM Ponzi pattern. See our separate advisory.

    “Vetted investments” without public due diligence

    The site uses the word “vetted” repeatedly, yet there is no public due-diligence framework, no list of rejected projects, and no compliance/risk officer. A serious mentor platform typically discloses the methodology by which it decides what enters its “vetted” pool.

    Leadership team and licenses are not clearly disclosed

    On the public landing page we could not find the legal entity name, registration number, registered office, owners or executives. At time of writing the “Mentors” and “Testimonials” sections contained repeated placeholder entries (e.g. “Joew Harbert, CEO NoonBrew” ×6). That is hard to accept for a platform that intermediates investment decisions.

    No investment license found (ATVP / EU)

    In the public registers of the Slovenian Securities Market Agency (ATVP) and EU MiCA / ESMA registers we could not find an entry covering investment intermediation or advice in digital assets under the name CoinMentors. If a license exists, the platform should publish it with its registration number — we will gladly add it here.

    “JAR system” and passive-income promises

    Marketing speaks of “passive income”, “vetted opportunities” and “safe capital growth”. The EU rule is clear: advertising of financial products must be balanced — every yield claim must be accompanied by a clear warning about the risk of capital loss. We do not see that on the landing page.

    Responsibility of the recommender

    Whoever recommends takes on part of the responsibility

    When a company sells, intermediates or publicly recommends a third-party investment product, it takes on part of the responsibility for that choice — morally and, in many jurisdictions, legally as well. “We are just mentors” is not an excuse if users lose money in a product you actively promoted.

    Slovenian legal framework (informational)

    ZTFI-1 (Financial Instruments Market Act) and the Consumer Protection Act regulate investment intermediation and misleading commercial practice. KZ-1 articles 211 (fraud), 228 (business fraud) and 229 (misleading advertising) are relevant in cases where the promoter knew or should have known that the promoted product threatens investors. This is not legal advice — if you believe you’ve been harmed, consult a lawyer and file a report with ATVP / the Market Inspectorate RS / police.

    Standard of care of a good steward

    Directors and responsible persons must act with the care of a good steward (ZGD-1, art. 263). Promoting a project for which independent sources have publicly published Ponzi warnings — without visible own due diligence — raises a serious question about that standard.

    The “knew or should have known” standard

    Under Slovenian and EU law, the liability of a promoter/intermediary is judged not only by what they actually knew, but also by what they should have known if they had acted with professional care. For investments in digital assets that means at a minimum:

    • check whether the project has a publicly disclosed legal entity, registered office and a regulated license (ATVP, BaFin, AMF, MFSA, ESMA MiCA register);
    • check whether independent sources (ScamAdviser, BehindMLM, specialised journalists) have published public warnings — for Polar Tensor these existed before CoinMentors’ promotion;
    • check whether the yield model (e.g. “AI trading”, “passive income”, “guaranteed %”) holds up mathematically without recruiting new depositors;
    • document due diligence and provide it on request of a supervisor or harmed party.

    If the promoter has not performed these steps, courts and supervisors (ATVP, Market Inspectorate RS, police — Economic Crime Section) may consider that they acted at least with gross negligence or with conditional intent — which is key for civil liability for damages and, in more serious cases, for criminal prosecution.

    Relevant articles (Slovenia + EU)

    Below is an informational list of provisions used in practice when assessing the liability of platforms that publicly promote third-party investment products. Click each link for the official text or commentary.

    KZ-1 čl. 211 [2]
    Fraud

    Anyone who, with intent to procure an unlawful gain for themselves or another, causes someone by false representation or concealment of facts to act or omit to act to the detriment of their own or another’s property. Promoting a product without disclosing known risks is in practice assessed under this provision.

    KZ-1 čl. 228 [3]
    Business fraud

    Whoever, in the conduct of business activity, when concluding or performing a contract or transaction, deceives another by representing that obligations will be performed, or by concealing that they will not or cannot be performed. Relevant for “vetted investments” claims.

    KZ-1 čl. 229 [4]
    False bankruptcy / deceptive operations

    Covers acts of a business entity that harms creditors or investors by concealing or falsely representing its state.

    ZVPot-1 [5]
    Consumer Protection Act — misleading commercial practice

    Prohibits commercial practices that contain false information or omit material information in a way that leads the average consumer to make a transactional decision they otherwise would not. The Market Inspectorate RS accepts reports.

    ZTFI-1 [6]
    Financial Instruments Market Act

    Regulates intermediation, advice and advertising of financial instruments. Intermediation without proper ATVP authorisation is an offence; advertising must be fair, clear and non-misleading.

    ZGD-1 čl. 263 [7]
    Care and liability of directors

    A member of a management or supervisory body must act in the company’s interest with the care of a diligent and honest manager. Breach = liability for damages.

    OZ čl. 131 + 148 [8]
    Code of Obligations — liability for damages

    Whoever causes damage to another is obliged to compensate it, unless they prove it arose without their fault. Applies to recommending a harmful product if the promoter has not shown proper care.

    MiCA (EU 2023/1114) [9]
    Markets in Crypto-Assets Regulation

    From 30 Dec 2024, all CASP providers in the EU need a license; crypto product advertising must be fair, clear and non-misleading (art. 66+). Applies to every EU promoter, including “mentors”.

    UCPD 2005/29/EC [10]
    EU Unfair Commercial Practices Directive

    General EU prohibition of misleading commercial practices. Transposed into Slovenian ZVPot-1.

    Note: this is not legal advice. Articles are listed for information so the reader can check the source themselves. In a concrete case, consult a lawyer and file a report with the competent authority: ATVP[11], Market Inspectorate RS[12], or the police (Economic Crime Section).

    What to check before you invest

    A practical checklist before you trust anyone (CoinMentors, mentor, “AI bot”, MLM or friend) with your money. If the answer to any item is missing or unclear — DO NOT invest. A serious provider will show you all this on their own, without being asked.

    Intermediation, advice or custody of digital assets in the EU requires a CASP/MiCA license from 30 Dec 2024. In SI this is supervised by ATVP.

    If you have to “deposit” funds to their platform with no option to withdraw to your own wallet (non-custodial), it is custodial — legally dependent on licensing, practically dependent on the operator’s honesty.

    Any fixed promise (e.g. “X % per month”) without an explicit “you may lose all your capital” warning is, in the EU, already by itself an indicator of misleading advertising (UCPD / ZVPot-1).

    ESMA — risk warning guidance[34]MiCA art. 66+ (marketing communications)[9]

    Can you withdraw your money at any time? How long does it take? Are there minimum amounts / lock-ups? Check public complaints about payout delays.

    Rule of thumb: if you can’t find the legal entity + license + one independent review in 10 minutes, that is already the answer.

    Not legal, financial or investment advice. This checklist is an educational tool prepared by the LOVE Coin community for general information only. It does not constitute legal advice, a personalised recommendation, an offer or a solicitation. For a binding opinion on your specific situation consult a licensed lawyer (odvetnik) and, where applicable, a MiCA/CASP-licensed financial advisor or the competent regulator (ATVP in Slovenia, ESMA EU-wide).

    Investor responsibility. Every decision to send money, transfer crypto, sign a contract or join a programme is yours alone — and so is the risk. You may lose all the funds you commit. Verify facts independently, never invest more than you can afford to lose, and do not rely on promises of guaranteed returns. LOVE Coin, its operator and contributors accept no liability for losses arising from the use of this checklist.
