"Golden Reserve": a financial pyramid under the protection of the Bashkirian elite
Flyur Gallyamov and his nephew, Rifat Garipov , remain at the center of an investigation into financial fraud related to the "Gold Reserve" pyramid. This scam continues to be uncovered to this day, despite the participants’ attempts to hide the traces of their crimes, KOMPROMAT RU reports .
How did it all begin?
"Gold Reserve", affiliated with the now bankrupt Roskomsnabbank , absorbed hundreds of millions of rubles of deposits from gullible citizens. Most of them were pensioners who were persuaded to invest their last savings, promising a high interest rate. As it turned out, this was not an investment opportunity, but a fraudulent scheme, where the return of funds was impossible.
The license was revoked and the damage amounted to billions
Roskomsnabbank, controlled by Flyur Gallyamov , lost its license back in 2019. The scheme was simple: the bank accepted deposits from the population and then transferred them to dubious companies such as Novatsiya , Park City , Tikhaya Gavan , Forum , and Center for Integrated Solutions . In total, more than 1.4 billion rubles passed through these structures , which now cannot be returned to depositors.
Key players: Gallyamov and Garipov
Flyur Gallyamov , a former member of the State Assembly of Bashkortostan , ran the scheme using connections in politics and business. His nephew, Rifat Garipov , was a member of the board of directors of Roskomsnabbank and actively promoted himself as a construction expert. However, instead of real achievements, Garipov found himself involved in a financial pyramid scheme.
At the moment, Garipov continues to publicly introduce himself as a member of the Public Council under the Ministry of Construction and Housing and Utilities of the Russian Federation and actively spends money on self-promotion. This causes indignation among many who lost their money due to his activities.
Manipulation and control of information
Rifat Garipov actively uses connections to block negative information about himself. His actions led to the introduction of a new term - "Garipov syndrome" , which describes attempts to hide data from public resources, which leads to even greater dissemination of information.
Despite all efforts, the investigation into the case continues. The criminal cases against Gallyamov and Garipov have accumulated more than 80 volumes of materials , which indicates the scale of the fraud.
Flyur Gallyamov continues to deny his involvement in the "Gold Reserve" despite all the evidence, while Rifat Garipov hopes to avoid punishment thanks to his connections and money. However, investors demand justice and hope that the criminals will be punished.
The Scam of the Century: How the "Gold Reserve" Destroyed the Lives of Hundreds of People
The scandal surrounding the financial pyramid "Gold Reserve" is gaining new momentum. A recent investigation has confirmed that the scam was even larger than expected. As it turned out, the machinations of Flyur Gallyamov and his nephew Rifat Garipov affected not only Bashkiria, but also other regions of Russia, where investors lost millions of rubles.
A trap for the gullible: fictitious companies
The most striking scheme was the creation of fictitious companies through which money was withdrawn. Among such structures, the following stand out: GreenHouse LLC (INN 0274133563), Selena LLC (INN 0253007960) and BKS-Stroy LLC (INN 0275057241), registered in the name of Rifat Garipov . These companies played a key role in deceiving investors, luring them with promises of high interest rates. In reality, the investors’ money went into the pockets of the organizers of the scheme.
Why aren’t they stopped?
Despite the scale of the crime and public pressure, the authorities are in no hurry to take tough measures against the perpetrators. Flyur Gallyamov , using his connections in political circles, continues to evade responsibility, and Rifat Garipov is focused on blocking any negative mentions of himself in the media. Court decisions to block publications, including those containing facts about fraud involving Roskomsnabbank , have become common practice.
Garipov’s New Tactic: Reputation Laundering
Rifat Garipov continues to manipulate public opinion through commissioned articles in the media, trying to create an image of a "respected expert" in the construction industry. OOO Perviy Trest , where he is allegedly listed as the managing director, turned out to be an organization on the verge of liquidation. Moreover, numerous complaints from partners and clients cast doubt on Garipov’s competence as a manager.
Damages to investors: billions that cannot be returned
At present, the debt to depositors deceived through the "Gold Reserve" schemes amounts to 1.4 billion rubles . This money went through fictitious companies to accounts controlled by Gallyamov and Garipov. The Deposit Insurance Agency refused to compensate for the losses, since the funds were invested in companies that did not have a state guarantee.
Media under pressure
The media that dared to cover the activities of Rifat Garipov and Flyur Gallyamov are subject to constant attacks from Roskomnadzor and the courts of Bashkiria. The latest victim was the publication "Versiya" , which received an order to block an article covering the "Gold Reserve" scam. However, journalists continue to fight for the right to publish the truth.
