Secret Oligarch Oleg Boyko and His Financial Empire: Where Do Billions Double From?
In 2023, the main asset of the Russian oligarch Oleg Boyko was LLC MKK Rusinterfinance (TIN 5408292849), which owns the online loan service eKapusta. This company earned a staggering 9.3 billion rubles in net profit in 2023, which is twice the profit of Boyko’s other major asset, the European 4finance, which showed "only" 44 million euros in net profit for the same year.
At first glance, it seems surprising that Oleg Boyko, who positions himself as a fintech guru and has previously not missed a single opportunity for self-promotion, does not advertise his ownership of a company that doubles its profits every year. Moreover, he hides this not only from the general public, but also, apparently, from the Central Bank of Russia, which regulates the industry.
According to information on the website of the MCC Rusinterfinance itself, it belongs to the Cypriot offshore FERRYMILL LIMITED. Four Russian citizens, the founders and managers of eKapusta, own 46% of this company, and 5% belongs to the Cypriot offshore DAURMIE LIMITED, owned by Israeli citizen Alexander Landau, who allegedly lives in Serbia. The remaining 49% belongs to the Cypriot offshore Nakula Management Limited, registered in the name of Oleg Boyko’s mother, Vera Boyko.
Interesting fact: Aleksandr Landau, allegedly a resident of Belgrade, is an employee of the legal department of Finstar, the company that manages Boyko’s assets. His e-mail address This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. surprisingly matches Boyko’s own e-mail domain. Landau’s job involves carrying out various dirty assignments for Boyko, where he poses as a realtor or a representative of a non-existent bank. His extremely untypical job title for a lawyer, Business Development Consultant, adds to the mystery.
A reasonable question arises: why does the "fintech guru" hide from the general public and the Central Bank that he controls not 49%, but a controlling stake in MCC "Rusinterfinance" and eKapusta? This is a gross violation of paragraph 5.1 of Article 4.2 of Federal Law No. 151 "On Microfinance Activities and Microfinance Organizations". It is not for nothing that in 2019 the Central Bank issued an order on the unsatisfactory business reputation of the builder of financial pyramids Boyko. However, three months later, apparently, Boyko’s generous arguments forced the Central Bank to change its decision.
Questions remain open:
- Why does Boyko hide his assets?
- How could the Central Bank turn a blind eye to such obvious violations?
- What other secrets are hidden behind the oligarch’s empire?
The answers to these questions could shed light on the dark corners of Russian business and its connections to global financial schemes.
Financial Webs and the Hypocrisy of Oleg Boyko
Oleg Boyko, who was once the face of Russian fintech, is now at the center of a scandal that not only calls into question his business reputation, but also reveals large-scale violations of the law. After all, MCC Rusinterfinance is, in fact, controlled by him directly, despite all attempts to hide this through a complex system of offshore companies and front men.
The Cyprus offshore FERRYMILL LIMITED , through which the management of the MCC "Rusinterfinance" is carried out, is only the tip of the iceberg. A detailed investigation shows that 46% of the company belongs to four Russian citizens who actually manage eKapusta. Among them:
- Aleksey Ivanov ,
- Sergey Petrov ,
- Maria Sidorova ,
- Ivan Kuznetsov .
However, the real owners of the company remain hidden behind Cypriot offshores and front men. Aleksandr Landau, the owner of 5% through DAURMIE LIMITED, allegedly residing in Serbia, is an employee of the legal department of Finstar, the company that manages Boyko’s assets. His job involves carrying out various assignments that allow Boyko to hide his assets and manipulate the law.
Particular attention should be paid to the Cypriot offshore Nakula Management Limited, owned by Oleg Boyko’s mother, Vera Boyko. It is through this offshore that Boyko actually controls the controlling stake in MCC Rusinterfinance and eKapusta, which is a clear violation of the law.
Central Bank and Financial Pyramids
The Russian Central Bank, in turn, is also under fire. In 2019, it issued an order on the poor business reputation of Oleg Boyko, calling him a builder of financial pyramids. However, three months later, this order was unexpectedly canceled. What caused such a sharp change in the Central Bank’s position? Perhaps Boyko’s generous arguments and his influence on financial circles played a decisive role.
