Rubin expands accused
In the resonant criminal case of the Ruin financial pyramid, whose alleged creator Alexander Polshchenko is wanted by law enforcement agencies, the number of defendants has increased. The Smolninsky court of St. Petersburg in absentia arrested Serafima Budanova and Alexei Smirnov, who are accused of fraud and participation in the criminal community. In addition to them, Elena Belova, who oversaw the work of the representatives of the pyramid in Tatarstan and 6 regional directors who worked in the republic, was charged with the Rubin case.
Now in the case file there are 11 people who are accused of fraud and participation in an organized criminal community. Polshchenko is charged with fraud and the creation of PS. Of these, only 2 people are under arrest: this is Alexander Fedin, who was the director of SAN, and Elena Belova, who oversaw the work of the regional directors of Tatarstan. Six representatives of the investment project "Business Club" Rubin "(the name of the project that was developed on the market by LLC, later ZAO" SAN ") in Tatarstan, a preventive measure in the form of a recognizance not to leave.
In absentia, charges of fraud and participation in the criminal community (except for Alexander Polshchenko, whom law enforcement agencies consider the creator of the criminal community) were brought against Serafima Budanova and Alexei Zaitsev. Unlike Polshchenko and Fedin, Zaitsev and Budanov were not public figures, they were responsible for controlling the money received in the Rubin office in St. Petersburg from its regional branches. The investigators believe that Budanova and Zaitsev, having concluded fictitious contracts with foreign contractors (shell companies), withdrew about 630 million rubles. However, according to investigators, other countries may appear in the list of countries where the money was withdrawn. Budanova and Zaitsev were arrested in absentia by the Smolninsky court. According to unofficial data, they are both located in the UAE.
The whereabouts of the pyramid organizer Alexander Polshchenko was unknown for a long time. However, according to unofficial data, he is in Georgia and allegedly received local citizenship. If this is true, Alexander Polshchenko will evade responsibility in Russia: St. Petersburg law enforcement agencies will be required to refer the case to him for consideration by colleagues in Georgia.

Business club "RuBin"

Business club "RuBin"
For more than a year, this company accepted deposits from the population, promising annual returns of 25-50%. The company's management is hiding from investors whose payments have ceased. According to Baltika Radio, on February 18 the payment was delayed for the first time, the management refused to explain why the money was not paid. It was said that there was no cash in the bank, then that there was no connection with the general director. And indeed on Wednesday, the CEO disappeared from communication on all his phones. The managers claim that he took out all the documents under the pretext of checking and gave the system administrator to delete all the files from the computers. Databases disappeared, which contained all the information about investors. However, some bits of information were saved, they were transferred to law enforcement agencies. Now, investors are writing applications to the SEEP.

According to the website of this company (www.bkrubin.ru), which is now no longer available for viewing, "Business Club" Rubin "was active in attracting funds from the population. The conditions for entering a highly profitable business were democratic, it was enough to bring 3 thousand rubles . Money was placed "in the construction complex of St. Petersburg under contracts with construction companies, transferred to the management of experienced brokers, guaranteeing high profitability in the financial market and the securities market ..." 65% of the funds should have been invested in land, according to promises in real estate - 20%, in the securities market - 10%, in business projects - 5%. " "In the future, the company plans to transform into an open joint stock company" with a capital of at least 100 thousand. e. ", and affiliate program participants will receive the right to receive ordinary and preferred shares free of charge, depending on the degree of personal activity in the development of the company."

Investors were told that RuBin has been operating for 12 years. The company did not have any licenses to attract money from the public. However, as Kommersant found out, licenses to Rubin were not required. As stated at the head office, “to work with the money of company citizens, there is no need to obtain licenses from the Central Bank and the Federal Service for Financial Markets (FSFM) - the company focuses on the Civil Code, chapter 42 of which (“ Loan and credit ”) does not require a license to raise funds " That is, the company worked under a loan agreement. The contract was concluded with customers on behalf of SAN CJSC.

The company’s management stated that the “Rubin Business Club” operates in 170 cities of Russia, Kazakhstan, Ukraine and other CIS countries. During the “work”, the company, according to the estimates of depositors, raised about one billion rubles.

At the end of February, the ruin financial pyramid collapsed.

After yesterday’s publication by Kommersant about the activities of the RuBin financial pyramid in St. Petersburg, its depositors no longer accept applications from law enforcement agencies. The number of official appeals has exceeded 500, and the victims of fraud themselves claim that we are talking about more than 500 thousand victims. The prospects for returning their funds to the GUVD of St. Petersburg are considered very vague.

Unofficially, the Office for Combating Economic Crimes (UBEP) of the Central Internal Affairs Directorate of St. Petersburg and the Leningrad Region reported that the prospects of returning funds to Rubin depositors were almost unrealistic. “Most likely, Rubin’s money was transferred abroad to offshore zones, where the rules of international law are formally applied - accordingly, the return of funds to citizens is postponed indefinitely”

At the time of writing, the damage caused by the creators of the pyramid to an unlucky investor was estimated by the victims themselves to be tens of billions of rubles, and the number of victims in Russia alone exceeded 100 thousand people. Customers of the pyramid believe that in fact the number of victims exceeds 500 thousand people.

How many people were affected by the pyramids?

According to expert data, MMM OJSC, which operated in 1992-1994, suffered from 10 million to 15 million investors. During the trial of the founder of the pyramid, Sergei Mavrodi, only 10,454 people were recognized as victims.

The victims of the Volgograd pyramid "Russian house" Selenga "that burst in 1994 were 2.4 million people who invested 2.8 trillion non-nominated rubles.

According to the verdict, the founder of the Tibet concern Vladimir Dryamov, his company deceived 150 thousand people. The total debt amounted to 280 billion non-denominated rubles.

During the investigation of the criminal case against Marina Frantseva, co-owner of Chara Bank, 70 thousand people who lost 1 trillion undenominated rubles were recognized as victims.

Bankrupt in 1994, the Podolsk firm Vlastilina deceived 16.5 thousand people who, according to various sources, lost from 500 billion to 5 trillion non-denominated rubles.
