Overview
- Mexico City prosecutors said investigators arrested Nazaret Rodríguez Jiménez, founder and chief executive of MetaXchange Capital, during a raid at a Polanco property and placed her at the disposal of a judge.
- Authorities said the firm paid early investors with money from new clients after first making on‑time payouts, a pattern they described as consistent with a Ponzi or pyramid scheme.
- The prosecutor’s office has logged more than 120 complaints and losses above 150 million pesos, while media and victims report over 1,500 people affected and estimates nearing 2 billion pesos.
- Two others tied to the company, identified as Patrik “N” and Mariana “N,” were detained earlier, with one person in pretrial detention and another under precautionary measures as investigators keep tracking the money flow.
- MetaXchange promoted high returns through private partnership contracts and polished offices without banking regulator oversight, and public claims by actress Sandra Echeverría about 18 months without payment pushed more investors to file reports.
