Recently I was with an eye doctor, everything is in order with vision, but I do not see point blank either my 5% or money for them. Honestly, I expected more or at least more sophisticated "maneuvers," but Tinkoff did not come up with a bicycle and arranged the 90s in 2023, - said Spiridonov on February 1, 2023.

According to him, Tinkoff Bank is "large, rich, system-forming," but he considered the "expensive" "fair fee" for CloudPayments, which, according to Spiridonov, ranks 65th in the top 100 largest Russian IT companies.

God sees, I tried to level, but now I have made a decision. It is for corporate conflict and the courts to be, "he added.

The press service of Tinkoff Bank said the following:

All settlements under the transaction were made, the funds were sent to the recipient's account. All information on the details of the transaction and payment is available to lawyers representing Dmitry's interests in this matter.
