While hundreds of millions of hryvnias are being seized in Ukraine, fines are being issued, and investigations into tax evasion and possible ties to the aggressor country are underway, international offshore entities and mysterious crypto wallets with turnover of a quarter of a billion dollars operate in the shadows. How the three-tier system of Andriy Matyukha, founder of Favbet, is arranged, where millions disappear to, and why ordinary workers suddenly find themselves without salaries.
Three layers of one empire: Ukraine, offshore, and cryptocurrency
Any large business seeks to diversify its risks, but the scale of building a structure around Favbet founder Andriy Matyukha is impressive in its branching. As investigators found, this business empire operates in three different dimensions — Ukrainian, offshore, and cryptocurrency.
The international part of this iceberg is tied to the offshore company Favorit United N.V., registered on the exotic island of Curaçao and holding the appropriate license. Inside this structure, significant marvels happen: for example, in Casino Secrets materials there is a episode where Matyukha transferred 17 thousand shares of this company to Vedran Frleih for only 17 thousand dollars — a symbolic one dollar per share. Through this same offshore, the Lopebet project continues to operate. At the same time, the crypto policy of the company was signed by people who previously worked for years in key positions inside the Ukrainian contour, which again proves the close connection between all parts of this mechanism.
Crypto teams worth hundreds of millions of dollars and miscodings through banks
Special attention deserves the financial movement in the digital currency. Crypto wallets, which investigators directly link to Favbet settlements and related projects, move enormous sums. In just the last 60 days through one such wallet more than 93 million dollars passed, and the total historical turnover approaches 250 million.
The scheme operates on the classical transit principle: money enters through numerous small transactions, and exits in much larger sums. More than 200 million dollars flowed from there to AlphaPo Deposit. A second related address over its history has transferred through itself about 700 million dollars, and its balance still holds over 17 million.
