The BitOK team has identified key addresses linked to the activities of Valeriya Fedyakina, accused of cryptocurrency fraud, and her associates. ForkLog was informed of this by company representatives.<\/p>\n

According to their information, one of Fedyakina’s addresses<\/a> has stopped conducting transactions since September 17. Most counterparties to the transactions on it are deposit addresses of exchanges, as well as addresses belonging to the Garantex exchange.\u00a0<\/p>\n

From the second wallet, between September 13 and 17, all funds amounting to $12.2 million were withdrawn to two external addresses (1<\/a>, 2<\/a>).<\/p>\n

The aggregate value moved through these two addresses totaled $139 million, according to experts.<\/p>\n

Subsequently the coins continued to split. As a result, part of them, in small sums, ended up on deposit addresses of cryptocurrency exchanges, including Binance, Bybit and HTX (formerly Huobi).<\/p>\n

The remaining, after passing through a chain of transactions with the use of cryptocurrency mixers, ended up at an address<\/a> that belongs to an unidentified service.<\/p>\n

According to analysts, about 20% of the total volume of assets that flowed into Fedyakina’s wallets is linked to the Russian crypto exchange Garantex.<\/p>\n

Earlier the Telegram channel Baza<\/a> reported that Bitmama was arrested in Moscow for deceiving a client of 6.7 billion rubles.<\/p>\n

Fedyakina cooperated with exchanges: she received cash from them and promised to transfer the money to another country with an additional payment, even though such operations typically carry a commission. She explained this by ties with prominent businessmen and state-owned corporations.<\/p>\n

However, in September Bitmama disappeared. A little earlier, clients had faced delays in payouts.<\/p>\n

According to Baza, on September 15 Fedyakina was detained in Moscow over a suspicious deal. She received 6.7 billion rubles in cash from an acquaintance and promised to exchange them for cryptocurrency with a 1% premium. Later the client realized that the money would not be seen and reported to the police.<\/p>\n

Valeriya Fedyakina, who is six months pregnant, faces charges of large-scale fraud. She faces up to ten years in prison. Because she holds a UAE residence permit, the court ordered her remanded in custody.<\/p>\n

According to data from the Indefibank CEO Sergei Mendeleev, Fedyakina is in SIZO-6 Pechatniki.<\/p>\n

The first to publish that Bitmama \u201cduped the market of shadow exchangers for $150 million\u201d was blogger Mikhail Zhukhovitsky.<\/p>\n
