💥 Turkey 🇹🇷 extradites to Russia 🇷🇺 a co-founder of the financial pyramid “Finiko”, Irina Volk

Detailed information.

➡️ Background: “Finiko” was presented as an “automated profit generation system” that allegedly operated through trading in cryptocurrencies, foreign exchange, and oil on platforms such as the Moscow Exchange, the Chicago Mercantile Exchange (CME), Forex, and BitMEX.

According to the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the scheme caused losses exceeding RUB 1 billion to more than 7,700 individuals. It was the second scheme of this kind — after “MMM” — to become the subject of a criminal case initiated in 2020. In 2021, “Finiko” was added to the Central Bank’s blacklist, and last year another co-founder was extradited from the United Arab Emirates 🇦🇪.

➡️ Case status: the criminal investigation under Articles 159 and 210 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federationremains ongoing.
Irina Volk was placed on Interpol’s international wanted list and subsequently extradited by Turkey on charges of large-scale fraud committed as part of an organized criminal group.

➡️ Additional context: the regulator’s press service reports that in 2025 the Bank of Russia identified 3,562 entities(companies, projects, sole proprietors and others) with signs of pyramid schemes. This represents a 35% decreasecompared to the previous year, although the figure remains significant.
