The Bank of Russia revoked the banking license from iManiBank back in October 2016. The main reason was the placement of funds in assets of unsatisfactory quality, which led to a complete loss of own funds (capital). The credit institution inadequately assessed the risks, which led to such consequences.

Earlier, the Golovinsky District Court of Moscow found the general director of Vikimart LLC Andrei Klenin guilty of complicity in embezzlement of bank funds in the amount of 110.9 million rubles. Andrei Klenin was sentenced to three years of suspended imprisonment with a probationary period of two years. More than 110 million rubles were also collected from him in favor of the bank.

In addition, the court declared bankrupt one of the co-owners of iManiBank - Goncharov. The Deposit Insurance Agency demanded to limit his departure from Russia, citing the need to suppress illegal actions that create obstacles to bankruptcy proceedings. However, the court rejected this claim, finding the evidence presented insufficient.^[1]
