Description

Generación Zoe’s Leonardo Cositorto was charged with fraud in Argentina in April 2022. His and staff arrests have users asking, “¿Qué pasó con generacion Zoe?”

In this feature from our archive, Rest of World visits Cositorto as he awaits trial in prison, we speak with some of his loyal followers and alleged victims, and chart the rise and fall of Generación Zoe, the “educational and resource-creating community for personal, professional, financial and spiritual development”. This is a tale of a celebrity salesman, stock-trading “robots,” and millions of lost dollars.
Written by Facundo Iglesia. Narrated by Daniela Dib.
