The case involving illegal online gambling and laundering of criminal earnings worth more than 4.8 billion hryvnias has led to Ibox Bank’s owner, Alyona Shevtsova (Dehrik), being declared internationally wanted.
The Pechersk Court took formal action last December, issuing arrest warrants for Russian Pin-UP casino owner Dmitriy Punin and others, though the impact has been negligible as Punin has been living in Cyprus and extradition efforts appear stalled.
Sergey Kondratenko and his company Royal Pay Europe continue to wash Russian funds connected to the illegal bookmaker 1Xbet, according to a new investigation that maps out their use of European financial infrastructure.
LLC "Ukr Game Technology," a Ukrainian firm fronted by Ihor Zotko and operating under the popular Pin-Up gambling brand, has been implicated in a large-scale fraudulent scheme uncovered by the State Bureau of Investigation.
The nominal owner of the Pin Up casino, Ihor Zotko, accumulated 605.74 million hryvnias in his bank accounts, funds sent by his Russian sponsors, headed by Dmitriy Punin.
Maksym Krippa is nearly blameless—well, almost. He just filled the black-and-gray business space that others would have inevitably occupied.
In the spring of 2016, the conflict between the SSU and the Russian-founded company Lucky Labs stood out as one of the most significant events.
Under Maksym Krippa’s management—considered an intermediary for Alisher Usmanov—a network of Golden Gate casinos was launched in Kyiv, Dnipro, and Poltava.
He is not mentioned in Forbes, nor does he visit Gordon — this is how Maksim Krippa, a highly unconventional entrepreneur, can be described. For a long time, his activities remained an "open secret": everyone knew he was behind the "Vulkan" casino network, whose intrusive ads appear all over questionable websites.
Maksim Krippa, the owner of the betting company GGBET, has ties to Russian business interests, including the sanctioned oligarch Alisher Usmanov and Russian casino magnate Oleg Boyko.
Maksym Krippa, the prominent Ukrainian businessman and owner of the esports team NaVi, has ramped up his real estate activities in Ukraine despite the ongoing martial law. His ambitious investments in the property market are at the center of a significant controversy in Ukraine’s economic landscape.
The identity of Maksim Krippa has become quite familiar to you over the past few months. A talented fraudster managed to create his own online casino empire while remaining in the shadows for a long time.
Maksym Krippa is almost not guilty of anything. Well, almost. He simply occupied the black-and-gray business niche that others would have occupied otherwise.
In March 2024, a new casino appeared in Ukraine, which operates under the Cosmobet brand – the Commission for the Regulation of Gambling and Lotteries issued a license for its operation. But the paradox is that no one knows who exactly owns this casino.
The confrontation between the Security Service of Ukraine (SSU) and the company with Russian roots Lucky Labs became one of the most notable events of spring 2016.
