2022: Detention for cheating Russians for billions of rubles

May 25, 2022 it became known about the detention of Stanislav Matyukhin, the head of the investment company QBF, which turned out to be a financial pyramid. The detainee is the grandson of the former chairman of the Central Bank of the Russian Federation, Georgy Matyukhin, who held this position from 1990 to 1992.

According to Kommersant, Stanislav Matyukhin, who was detained at his home on Kutuzovsky Prospekt, is suspected of participating in an organized criminal community, six members of which stole money from investor investors and took it offshore. The total damage from the actions of the QBF is estimated at 2 billion rubles.

As the investigation found out, QBF offered customers to invest under a trust management agreement. Alternatively, there was an individual or brokerage account. After signing the necessary papers, the customers' funds were first sent to the Cyprus islands. After the money was redirected to the Cayman or Canary Islands or Hong Kong. Investors themselves received fake reports from the company that spoke of investing in certain financial assets.

Matyukhin denies his guilt. According to him, he was just "trying to save a sinking ship." It was Matyukhin who convinced investors to the last that nothing threatens their funds.

Among the victims was the famous ballerina Anastasia Volochkova, who invested about 3 million rubles in QBF. According to the newspaper, returning part of the invested funds (500 thousand rubles) to the reception, Matyukhin, according to investigators, hoped that Volochkova, taking advantage of his connections, would help unlock the company's accounts in the regions. However, she did not do this, after which QBF employees stopped contacting her.

Before being appointed QBF CEO in 2017, Matyukhin worked in the Federal Service for Financial Markets and in the Central Bank, where he was involved in regulating the activities of financial organizations and oversaw QBF, the publication said.^[1]
