Freedom Finance: Timur Turlov’s financial pyramid and “laundromat” for siphoning Russian billions

After giving up his Russian citizenship, Timur Turlov continues, now based in Kazakhstan, to funnel money out of Russia. Billions of rubles flow out through Freedom Finance — Turlov’s company, which increasingly looks like a pyramid scheme and a large-scale money laundering operation.

Despite this, advertisements for this fraudulent firm still line Kutuzovsky Avenue. With this, Turlov sends a clear message to the government, boldly declaring his intention to keep exporting billions from Russia, regardless of the efforts by the Ministry of Finance and the Central Bank.

For investors tempted to take advantage of this “loophole,” a reminder is in order: when Timur rides off into the sunset, they won’t be able to recover their funds. Timur, on the other hand, will likely find support and understanding among the Western establishment, especially if he presents his entire scheme as a “fight against tyranny.”

And perhaps it’s time for law enforcement to find out who, and for how much, in the Moscow city administration turned a blind eye to the Architectural and Artistic Concept of Kutuzovsky Avenue — all for the sake of those green letters on a rooftop.
