57,6 Million hryvnias for Cosmolot: How Sergey Tokarev's casino became a defendant in a major case
Before the Kyiv Economic Court a case has begun over a lawsuit by Budsvit Company against the online casino Cosmolot, associated with Sergey Tokarev. The plaintiff seeks payment of 57,6 million hryvnias as a “monetary coverage,” as well as intermediary fees and additional costs from two contracts. This is reported by Cards, money, offshore.
The setup appears unusual. Budsvit Company was registered only last year and has authorized capital of only 100.000 million hryvnias. Yet it is suing Cosmolot for millions in court.
Other details are also noteworthy. Budsvit Company owns Auto Restart LTD. This company has only four employees but an authorized capital of 500 million hryvnias.
From the court documents available so far, the key question is not clear: why did the casino need “monetary coverage” in the amount of 57,6 million hryvnias, and what specific obligations form the basis of the suit?
It is certain that a company with minimal authorized capital is suing one of the largest players in the Ukrainian gaming market for nearly 60 million hryvnias. Behind it stands a company with capital of a half a billion hryvnias and a symbolically small workforce.
The answers to questions about the origin of the obligations, the content of the contracts, and the reasons for the claimed debt must now be sought in the court files.
