Buddha's lottery case has taken on a new turn – the Szczecin District Court has lifted the blockage of rewards, which opens the way to pay winnings. After almost a year of dispute, the formalities were solved and the winners can start counting on their awards.
Court waives Buddha's lottery prize blockade
After many months of uncertainty about the legality of the lottery organised by the Buddha influencer, the court in Szczecin issued a resolution very important to the winners. He decided to lift the blockade for the funds collected for prizes worth approximately PLN 8 million, including luxury cars, a house in Zakopane, and monthly salaries.
What does a court decision mean?
- The rewards shall be released from the security and may be paid with winnings.
- The Chamber of Tax Administration in Krakow is obliged to make payments to the winners immediately.
- The decision is not yet a final judgment and a resolution, which means that the investigation is still ongoing, but it is an important step for the winners.
Legality and security of the lottery
The organizers – the publishing house Influui – all along stressed that the lottery was legal and had a bank guarantee securing the payment of prizes. The court confirmed the correctness of these procedures and the legality of the entire action, thus dispelling earlier doubts about allegations of illegal organisation.
Characteristics of the bank guarantee
- It is an instrument that protects participants in case the organizer cannot pay the prizes.
- This guarantee has been recognised by the court and the prosecutor's office, which is a rare example of effective security in lottery events organised by influencers.
What's next on the Buddy affair?
Although the funds will be paid, the prosecution's investigation continues. Youtuber Budda and his surroundings have heard serious allegations about participation in an organized criminal group, VAT fraud and money laundering.
The importance of the influencer market
- The case shows the importance of full compliance and transparency in organising similar promotional actions.
- Bank guarantees and approved rules can today protect both organisers and participants from serious legal consequences.
Summary
The decision of the Szczecin District Court opens a long-awaited chance to pay Buddha's winnings, ending a lengthy legal dispute on the legality and security of these awards. Although the matter is still pending, it is a clear signal for influencers that professionalism and legality must go hand in hand with such large promotion projects. Winners can finally relax and start enjoying their winnings.
