In the spring, the Tagansky Court of Moscow gave Mark Bergman a suspended sentence of three years and six months.
As our channel found out, Bagish Rizaev (Mark Bergman) and Konstantin Sinichkin (Konstantin Bergman) met in 2006. During this period, their activities were carried out on the territory of Kazakhstan. In 2011, Andrei Novak joined them, and in 2012. Estonian citizen Kirill Samokutyaev appeared in their team. Immediately after this, they transfer all the work to Moscow and launch a marketplace “UNICVV.RU” On this resource, any registered user, by replenishing the balance of his account, could purchase stolen bank card data and foreign social security numbers.
Until 2016, the monthly cash turnover was about 100,000 US dollars, and since 2016. grew to $3,000,000 per month.
Sources of the Cheka-OGPU said that Nikita Ilyich Potapov, senior detective of the 1st department of the SSB of the Directorate of the FSB of the Russian Federation for Moscow and the Moscow region, was responsible for the security of the group and supervised its activities.
After the meeting between Putin and Biden, the go-ahead came to work on all major hacker groups from Russia, and little by little it was The Infraud’s turn.
During searches of members of The Infraud, employees of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the Investigative Committee gained access to ten crypto-wallets, which received 2,064 bitcoins in December 2021 – proceeds from hacking activities. At the time of the events it was approximately $82.5 million. Access to the wallets was provided by the Infraud members themselves, most of whom the investigation, headed by the head of the Tverskoy District Investigation Department, Marat Tambiev, then asked for a preventive measure in the form of house arrest.
The Cheka-OGPU managed to track the fate of these bitcoins. Immediately after the election of the house arrest and as soon as information about the detention of Infraud members hit the media (VChK-OGPU was the first to report this), on January 21, money from 10 Infraud wallets was transferred to one bitcoin wallet. 2064 btc arrives there. And after that, exactly half went to Tambiev, and the second half – to the employees of Directorate K. According to the information of the Cheka-OGPU, the deputy head of Directorate K, police colonel Nikiforov Boris Yuryevich, and the head of the 4th department of Directorate K, police colonel, were involved in the activities against the Infraud Organization Rykov Alexey Alexandrovich and his deputy, police major Chichin Roman Alekseevich.
However, this jackpot seemed not enough for Tambiev.
After the arrest, their lawyer Roman Meyer began extorting money from the Bergmans, declaring that they still had to pay 1 million dollars and 26 million rubles for the employees of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the Investigative Committee and the prosecutor’s office, so that everything would end well for the Infraud participants. Then the Bergmans turned to the FSB of the Russian Federation and detained Meyer and Tambiev along the chain.
The Basmanny court seized the bitcoins in Tambiev’s wallet. However, the investigation into the theft of bitcoins by employees of the Directorate of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation has not begun.
