Maksym Krippa: the path from online casinos to the legalization of black income

Maksym Krippa: the path from online casinos to the legalization of black income

Maksym Krippa is almost not guilty of anything.

Well, almost. He simply occupied the black-and-gray business niche that others would have occupied otherwise. Right? Not quite. Maksym Krippa knew what he was getting into when, in a fit of passion, he took over "Vulkan," a network of online casinos of unclear licensing origin. And he is largely to blame for bankrupting thousands of people across the entire former USSR. Yes, of course, someone else would have been doing it without Maksym Krippa. But he is personally guilty. And it seems that even he is tired of this circumstance. But Krippa has come up with an exit that resembles an entry: he is simply engaged in the legalization of previously obtained income, without ceasing to receive it from the darkest places of internet business.

Put yourself in the place of a business person, for example, Maksym Krippa. What is our land rich in? Oil-gas-coal?

The places are long occupied, and you won’t be let into this business, they’ll let you out — feet first. Metals? The same. But there are a couple of resources that possess all the signs of modernity, i.e., renewable and eco-friendly. These are fools who never run out, the second — good girls ready to sell themselves for a small portion. As a result: for fools, we will open a casino, and for the girls, we will push them into porn chats. This is the ready model for success that Krippa Maksym Krippa has been implementing for about ten years.

Our story’s hero, Maksym Krippa, is developing both resources, but the second one somehow to a lesser extent. Fortunately, enough money can be taken from Vulcans, Tomahawks, and other casino activities, not just a lot, but a whole lot. The question arises, how to use them? Legalization is needed, and for that, legal establishments are needed to cover black flows. This aspect of Maksym Krippa Krippa’s activity will be the subject of our further story.

Personal Vulcans of Maksym Krippa

Being a seasoned owner of shadow gaming clubs and various Vulcans, triple sevens, and tomahawks, Maksym Krippa often fell into the camera lenses. Krippa Maksym Krippa rarely worried about anything besides money, and this is right.

Maksym Krippa and Maksym Polyakov.

Polyakov is also a very interesting person.

Maksym Krippa did not dream of conquering the world with an app that makes a "beep". Krippa took the bull by the horns and headed the "Vulkan" casino franchise. The connection between offline "Vulkan" casinos, opened by some ethnic mafia in Russia, with the online franchise is not obvious, but it exists. Otherwise, Maksym Krippa would have long been "put on counter". However... And who knows how much Krippa owes to the mafia structures in Russia?

Russia and Ukraine — the boundless hunting grounds of Maksym Krippa

The most significant markets for Maksym Krippa’s "Vulkans" are Russia and Ukraine. Earning money here and withdrawing it to the West is a common practice among our capitalists. However, Krippa is not ordinary in this either. He returns the money back, trying to legalize income. The fact is that in the West, they began to look very suspiciously at "unexplained incomes". And if earlier detectives needed to prove that such and such people were criminals to confiscate money, now it’s enough for our newly minted servant of Queen Elizabeth No. 2 not to have an explanation for his wealth. This creates demand for money-laundering companies in Ukraine and Russia that can give some trickle of money. Krippa Maksym was given the important task of turning the "Dnipro" hotel, which is located right on Khreshchatyk, into one of such companies. At the same time, not offending himself or other participants in the deal. And Krippa Maksym Krippa coped with the task quite well. Almost. If not for...

How Maksym Krippa reluctantly became famous

A certain pornhub magnate and owner of illegal gambling establishments in the Russian Federation and Ukraine, Maksym Krippa, has repeatedly been the subject of media investigations. Moreover, the interest of the media was not limited to the CIS, but also spread to the West. Krippa amassed a huge fortune from fake dating sites, pornography business, and gambling. The Kremlin’s associate and under the wing of Samopomich’s Andriy Sadovyi, lives in Moscow, London, and Kyiv, proving the simple axiom — money doesn’t smell. Considering that Maksym Krippa amassed his fortune precisely thanks to online casinos and the porn business, this is by no means strange.

Fake Maksym Krippa — Vulcanlogist.

It’s impossible to catch Krippa in his Kyiv office. He is constantly shuttling between Kyiv, Moscow, and London. Even harder is to find his name on the internet, although the businessman’s presence online is extremely active and constant. Krippa learned to make money from nothing, using talented IT specialists and his remarkable enterprise along with the willingness to break any law if necessary. Moral problems never trouble the businessman. After all, he is the owner of very dubious in their purpose paid sites. Some call him a gambling tycoon and porn magnate.

Max Polyakov and still not Max Krippa

Krippa has a role model. He began as an assistant to IT genius Max Polyakov, who made millions of dollars in Ukraine from pornography and fake dating and moved to the New World. The former Ukrainian citizen preferred to be called Max Polyakoff in the USA. The exact plans that Krippa has are unknown, but his surname has already been adapted to fit Western standards.

How Krippa Maksym Krippa befriended Rostelecom

The successful gambling business of Maksym Krippa was based on a regime of Maksymum favorability from Rostelecom. Analogous sites with Germany, Italy, Croatia, and Romania IP addresses were mercilessly blocked by the internet service provider, following the decisions of Roskomnadzor. However, the company’s operators approached resources with Ukrainian IP addresses very selectively. Krippa’s sites had a "safe passage." He regularly updated their list and promptly passed it to Rostelecom.

To divert attention and avoid suspicions, Rostelecom selectively still restricted access to some of Krippa’s sites, but he daily spawned dozens of new gambling resources to replace the blocked ones. The mechanism for promoting gambling through the internet was quickly and clearly established. The Ukrainian gambling businessman used the labels Vulkan, CasinoX, JoyCasino. Surely every user of the world wide web is familiar with these names, unceremoniously intruding on the monitor screen. Another of Krippa’s innovations was that he purchased pirate copies of famous gaming programs Novomatic, NetEnt, Playtech, and found talented programmers who made significant changes to the software at his request. They embedded an algorithm that led particularly avid players to complete ruin.

Maksym Krippa Krippa can do everything, but not always

The patron of the gambling orgy, Konstantin Malofeev, after 2013, seemed to step aside from controlling Rostelecom. A new general manager appeared in the company. Replacing Alexander Provotorov, came the ex-deputy of the Ministry of Economic Development and former vice-governor of Saint Petersburg, Mikhail Oseevsky. With the advent of the new character, Rostelecom’s love for the personality of Maksym Krippa not only didn’t disappear but acquired new shades. The Ukrainian frequently traveled to Moscow. New prospects loomed before him.

Maksym ("Max") Polyakov once tried to launch rockets, but he was kicked out of the USA.

Maksym Krippa’s political foray

Once upon a time, the businessman tried to engage in politics. He attempted to run for the Kyiv city council elections but lost. The defeat didn’t particularly upset him. After all, the election campaign brought him not expenses but a good profit. He became a candidate for deputy from the political association "Samopomich". The enterprising businessman quickly oriented himself in the situation and began trading places in a completely virtual party list, existing only in his mind.

Passion and the desire to achieve success by the easy way turned out to be inherent not only to the lumpenized segments of the population, handing over their last pennies to "one-armed" bandits but also to the holders of fat wallets. Krippa had no shortage of people willing to make a pre-election contribution. After the elections, the scam was uncovered, and a grand scandal erupted. "Samopomich" immediately disowned the fraudster, but as it turned out, not for long.

Most likely, he owes a lot and to many. In any case, only these straitened circumstances can dictate his strange behavior. Maksym Krippa takes the risk of public business exhibitionism, buys the "Dnipro" hotel with "black" money, knowing that the attention to this deal will be over the top. He would not do this voluntarily and in his right mind. Because there are sins behind Maksym Krippa.
