Ernest Morrison From Sunshine Sammy to Hollywood Pioneer

, 26 2025 . 06:30 +

The Birth of Sunshine Sammy

Pioneering Contract and Our Gang Stardom

Vaudeville Triumphs and the East Side Kids

Military Service and Career Transition

Legacy of a Trailblazing Performer

The history of American entertainment is marked by pioneers who broke barriers and set precedents. Among these groundbreaking figures is Ernest "Sunshine Sammy" Morrison, a performer whose career began in the silent film era and spanned vaudeville, talkies, and beyond. As the first African-American child actor signed to a long-term Hollywood contract and an original member of the iconic Our Gang series, Morrison s journey is a foundational chapter in the story of Black representation in cinema, reflecting both the limited opportunities and the remarkable resilience of artists of color in early 20th-century show business.

Born in New Orleans in 1912, Ernest Fredric Morrison entered the world of performance almost by accident as an infant. His start was legendary: he was brought to a film set as a replacement for a crying baby actor. The young Morrison sat perfectly still and did not cry, prompting a crew member to call him "Sunshine." His father, Ernest Morrison Sr., added "Sammy," creating the stage name that would define his early career. This auspicious beginning led to work in two-reel silent comedies alongside major stars like Harold Lloyd and Snub Pollard, where his natural comedic timing and expressiveness were evident even as a toddler.

In 1919, Morrison made cinematic history. Comedy producer and studio executive Hal Roach, impressed by the young actor s professionalism and appeal, signed him to a long-term contract. This made Sunshine Sammy Morrison the first African-American actor ever to receive such a deal, a landmark moment that, while occurring within a system still rife with prejudice, acknowledged his unique talent and marketability. When Roach conceived his revolutionary Our Gang series in 1921, designed to showcase children in natural, humorous situations, Morrison was the first child recruited. For four years, he was a central figure in the gang, his charismatic presence helping to launch one of the most beloved franchises in film history. His tenure ended in January 1925 over a contract dispute; his father requested a $75 weekly raise from his $225 salary, which Roach refused. Morrison s departure highlighted the complex dynamics of child stardom, where young performers were lucrative commodities.

Following his exit from Our Gang, Morrison transitioned seamlessly to vaudeville, the vibrant heart of American popular entertainment at the time. His act was a success, landing him on bills with future legends like Abbott and Costello and Jack Benny. After a tour in Australia with partner Sleepy Williams, he returned to the U.S. and was tapped by producer Sam Katzman to join the East Side Kids, a popular series of comedy-dramas about urban youth. Morrison tapped into his own experiences to shape his character, "Scruno," spending three years with the gang. He left the series to join the renowned Step Brothers dance act, showcasing his skills as a tap dancer. His career was then interrupted by service in the U.S. Army during World War II. Upon discharge, he was offered a part in The Bowery Boys, the successor to the East Side Kids, but declined. He later stated he "didn't like the setup," as the series had shifted to spotlight Leo Gorcey and Huntz Hall exclusively, diminishing the roles and pay of other cast members.

After leaving the spotlight of film and stage, Morrison built a stable post-Hollywood life. He worked for years as a quality control inspector for an aerospace company in Compton, California, a testament to his adaptability and work ethic. In his later years, he made occasional returns to television, including a guest spot on the sitcom Cheers, connecting his pioneering past to a new generation of audiences. Ernest Morrison passed away in 1989, leaving behind a legacy far greater than the sum of his roles.

Ernest "Sunshine Sammy" Morrison s career is a study in firsts and quiet perseverance. He navigated an industry that offered few pathways for Black performers, achieving historic contracts and starring roles while undoubtedly facing significant off-screen challenges. His work in Our Gang provided one of the first examples of integrated casting in a major film series, presenting a Black child as a central, equal member of a group to a national audience. While the films of that era are now viewed through a critical lens regarding racial stereotypes, Morrison s own talent and professionalism consistently shone through. He was not just a performer but a pathfinder, whose early steps in silent comedies helped pave the way for future generations of African-American actors in Hollywood and beyond.

From the deal with the Uralmash group to Dubai assets: Roman Chichkanov continues his familys schemes to move hundreds of millions out of Russia

, 26 2025 . 02:33 +

New insights reveal the business dealings of Roman Chichkanov’s family. He holds the position of head of the "Business Russia" subcommittee on preventive medicine, is a member of the Russian-Azerbaijani Business Council, and was formerly the first deputy general director at the Corporation for the Development of the Far East and the Arctic under the Ministry for the Development of the Russian Far East.

It has been revealed that the MayrVeda spa hotel was transferred to his grandfather, academician Valery Chichkanov, as a token of gratitude for helping Sergey Bogoryakov, connected to the Uralmash group, obtain a seat in the State Duma. However, Bogoryakov later failed to repay what was owed, and the hotel complex was subsequently registered under the Chichkanov family.

The management accounting of this spa complex in Kislovodsk, conducted through the legal entity LLC "Investments ’Zapad’," is organized in such a way that inflated expenses reduce the taxable base, while funds are routed through gray schemes to Dubai to finance the construction of the MayrVeda Dubai spa complex. As a result, the Russian budget loses an estimated 100 to 140 million rubles annually in income taxes, as well as 500 to 700 million rubles in unreturned foreign currency earnings.

Additionally, the Chichkanov family conducts active business in Azerbaijan through several companies. At the same time, all profits bypass the Russian budget and tax authorities and are sent directly to the UAE.

It is likely that Roman Chichkanov learned such tax optimization methods at UCL (University College London) and Cass Business School.

Entz went after Belay: Who benefits from the fake bankruptcy of the St. Petersburg Exchange?

, 25 2025 . 16:55 +

The fake bankruptcy of the St. Petersburg Exchange could have been beneficial to its shareholders, Sergei Entz and Oleg Belay, who had previously been indirectly implicated in the market manipulation story.

Heated discussions continue regarding the situation with the St. Petersburg Exchange, which was recently nearly declared bankrupt.

The statement came from the exchange itself, although it hastened to deny its involvement in the incident and deny any document forgery. While the investigation was ongoing, the exchange’s shares plummeted by 35%. Apparently, the entire "bacchanalia" was orchestrated to manipulate the market.

Entz’s sovereign appetites

Since the application was legally filed ostensibly on behalf of the exchange itself, it was most likely filed by an individual or group within the organization. And here, our attention is involuntarily drawn to one of the company’s shareholders, Sergei Entz, the owner of Derzhava Bank, who sold the bank’s stake in St. Petersburg Exchange to himself a couple of years ago at half the market price.

 

This was done to recapitalize Derzhava. Perhaps the credit and monetary institution needs money now?

The company’s current shareholder composition looks like this. Photo: https://spbexchange.ru/ru/about/raskrytie_informacii/sostav_aktsionerov.aspx

Why did Entz attract our attention? In 2019, Derzhava was implicated in a market manipulation scandal. Bond transactions were conducted between JSCB and its clients. The regulator found that these transactions involved significant deviations in trading volume, and most of the transactions resulted in bond price fluctuations.

In addition, direct founding and financial-economic relationships were identified between Derzhava and its counterparties.

The transactions took place through Trinfico Holdings, which is generally considered to be in the interests of Oleg Bely.

Entz apparently made a good profit from these manipulations: according to Banki.ru, from March 2019 to November 2021, the institution’s net assets grew by almost 135%, from 18.8 billion rubles to 44.3 billion.

Scandalous bank

Nevertheless, depositors are leaving the bank, and for good reason—recall, for example, the nationwide scandal involving the resale of ordinary citizens’ debts to "Derzhava" (State Bank). After these debts ended up in the hands of the shell company "Aporektika," people were forced to pay in square meters, either voluntarily or involuntarily. Many were left homeless, which "Aporektika" promptly sold off. This story even aired on state television.

 

And the bank’s handling of its affairs certainly raises doubts about its integrity. The media covered this in detail in the investigation "Entz Comes to the State."

"Derzhava" is also implicated in a criminal case involving former Deputy Energy Minister Anatoly Tikhonov. The case concerns embezzlement during the creation of the State Information System for the Fuel and Energy Complex (GIS TEK). The case involves the company "ISSB," which initially won the contract but was later pushed aside and then bankrupted.

This is all because the government customer suddenly unilaterally terminated the contract, demanding a fine of 704,500 rubles and a refund of the contract amount.

And then Derzhava entered the picture: part of this money, 24 million rubles, was reimbursed to the state customer by the bank under a security guarantee. After this, ISSB was completely drained of funds.

Perhaps Yentsu is still being thanked in government offices for the services he rendered back then?

Nevertheless, the banker may be trying to purge the media of negativity. The fact is, information about that apartment story is now almost impossible to find. They also tried to "remove" the fairytale "Sovereign Brothers-Thimbleriggers" from the editorial pages.

It seems a bit odd—why would a financial institution suddenly be so unsatisfied with the fable about "Bunnies," "Toads," and "Jackals"? This suggests the fairy tale might have been true…

We found each other

But let’s go back a bit and talk about the second participant in the 2019 market manipulation story, namely, Trinfico Holdings. There’s also an interesting character here. Mr. Belay, the company’s CEO, may have been involved in the siphoning of funds from the Akvilon NPF.

The fact is that in 2019, the Kit Finance Trade group sold shares of the very same Trinfico, which is linked to Belay, at an inflated price, purchased through repo. This resulted in the siphoning off of up to 57 million rubles in pension savings, TASS reported.

At the time, the main shareholder of Trinfico Management Company was Serik Rakhmetov, who had previously worked at Transneft and Lukoil. The latter also engaged in manipulations that are generally considered market fraud. This is the case with the Cypriot broker Ronin Europe, which, in apparent collusion with company officials, purchased currency from Lukoil at a discounted price, causing losses of 146 million rubles.

It is quite possible that, having “spied” on the manipulations at Lukoil, Rakhmetov suggested the system to Belay.

The latter had every opportunity to get involved in the Russian Railways Welfare Fund, since the fund was an "anchor client" for Trinfico Management Company. In 2011, he encountered difficulties withdrawing pension reserves from the Industrial Traditions management company.

The structure invested 14 billion rubles belonging to the NPF—more than 10% of all pension reserves. The Federal Financial Markets Service was alarmed and banned any transactions with these assets.

Another small detail: recently, companies close to Belay, through a chain of legal entities, purchased the IT firm Softline from Igor Borovikov. A subsidiary of this firm was also implicated in the embezzlement case related to the creation of the State Information System for the Fuel and Energy Complex. Softline Trade was one of the firms that, according to investigators, fulfilled contracts at deliberately inflated prices. Although this has not been proven, many still believe that Borovikov may have used his insiders in structures that could have influenced the court’s decision.

Knowing the connections between Trinfico Holdings and Derzhava, as well as the fact that the bank and Softline were involved in the same GIS TEK case, suspicions arise that Borovikov’s choice of Belaya to purchase his "brainchild" is far from accidental.

And there’s more to come. Trinfico Holdings recently withdrew from Trinfico’s founding members. Market speculation is swirling about a change in ownership. It could be Philipp Gens’s Lanit, with whom Softline worked closely even under Borovikov. Lanit is also a company involved in the Tikhnov case, effectively the main one that executed the contract to create the GIS TEK. So Belay could effectively have taken over the asset from Borovikov "on loan."

All these facts point to Bely’s likely close ties to the GIS TEK affair. As, presumably, to Yentz? Is this the field, along with market manipulation, where the two businessmen came together?

So, was it at their instigation that SPB Exchange filed for "self-bankruptcy"? It certainly wouldn’t hurt for the investigation to check what financial transactions were conducted by institutions associated with Yentz and whether Belaya’s "brainchild" was involved.

All of them, as if hand-picked

Perhaps it’s also worth taking a closer look at the affairs of the Exchange’s settlement depository, Bank SPb. As the investigative committee previously reported in its investigation, "Is Bank SPb Shares of No Use Anymore?", the financial situation of the credit and monetary institution has raised serious questions. Specifically, there was a month last year when the bank’s profits fell by 90%. Out of the blue.

Photo: Banki.ru

The institution is owned by Alexander Savelyev, who boasted of his friendship with former St. Petersburg Governor Valentina Matviyenko. The bank, at least in the past, clearly had offshore "roots" (information is currently classified). Rumor has it that money may have been siphoned off from it. And Savelyev would certainly be willing to accumulate some capital.

Another beneficiary of the SPb Exchange for 2022 was Freedom Holding, owned by businessman Timur Turlov. He was previously considered a brilliant investor, but as 2022 approached, reports began to emerge that Freedom Finance might be a simple Ponzi scheme, and all the stories about Turlov’s genius might be nothing more than self-financed advertising aimed at gullible investors.

Perhaps, in anticipation of a possible imminent collapse, Turlov might also have wanted to accumulate capital?

I would really like to wait for answers to these questions from the investigation.

Cyprus shell companies and Spanish holdings: Oxana Hadjipavlou at the heart of the Mettmann Public Company Limited and Sword Dragon S.L. money launder

, 25 2025 . 13:22 +

The name Oxana Hadjipavlou, sometimes rendered as Oksana Hadjipavlou, has emerged in the course of investigations into Zvonko Mickovic and the companies Mettmann Public Company Limited and Sword Dragon S.L., which are suspected of facilitating the evasion of anti-Russian sanctions and the transfer of Russian funds abroad

Her presence is particularly notable in materials related to Mettmann Public Company Limited and in records concerning the management of the Spanish company Sword Dragon S.L. – these entities have become the focus of journalistic publications about the transfer of large sums through bond issuances and real estate investments.

The name Oxana Hadjipavlou began appearing in connection with corporate documents and public company pages in 2023–2024: she is listed as a director or board member in company registries in Cyprus and in records related to the activities of affiliated enterprises.

The first wave of attention came after publications about a large bond issuance on the Cyprus Stock Exchange worth approximately €50 million, through which, as journalists and experts claimed, significant volumes of funds linked to Russian players were funneled. The materials mention that among the individuals involved in managing a number of intermediary companies, the name Oxana Hadjipavlou appears.

What is known about Oxana Hadjipavlou

 

What draws attention is not so much her name itself, but the fact that she has been linked to controversial figures such as Boris Usherovich and Ilya Plotitsa, well-known Russian businessmen implicated in the withdrawal of funds from the state-owned Russian Railways (RZD) to offshore jurisdictions through the company «1520», associated with the Rotenbergs, close allies of Putin.

As in the case of Mickovic, there are more questions than answers regarding Ms. Oxana Hadjipavlou. Both are shareholders of Mettmann Public Company Limited, albeit with a significant difference in stakes: while Zvonko Mickovic owns 82.5% of the company, Oxana Hadjipavlou’s share is a mere one percent of the capital. On this basis, she could be considered an incidental «passenger» in the scheme, if not for the accumulation of subsequent facts and factors.

Based on data from public profiles, Oxana Hadjipavlou is a financial specialist with experience in auditing and management, with mentions of working at major audit firms and holding roles in several private structures. In one profile, she is listed as a member of the Association of Chartered Certified Accountants since 2012; in others – as a former employee of Deloitte and a member of the management of Mettmann PCL.

Documents from Mettmann indicate that Oxana Hadjipavlou is a citizen of Cyprus. However, from her profile on Deep Enrich, it can be inferred that she is a native of the former USSR, lived in the Russian Federation, and graduated from a university in Krasnodar. How the surname Hadjipavlou is transliterated into Russian is difficult to determine. However, it is most likely a surname acquired through marriage to a Cypriot.

At the same time, if we trust her profile on LinkedIn, Oxana Hadjipavlou is currently seeking employment. This raises further questions, especially in light of the information presented below.

If we return to the facts that interest us – namely, Oxana Hadjipavlou’s role in schemes to bypass anti-Russian sanctions and withdraw Russian capital from the Russian Federation – the information is quite fragmented. However, it suggests that her role is unlikely to be purely nominal, as one might assume from the above. Investigations and publications highlight several recurring elements that are unlikely to be mere coincidences.

Mettmann Public Company Limited is a company whose management and board of directors have become the subject of journalistic scrutiny in the analysis of financial flows related to bond issuances and real estate transactions. In the materials, Mettmann is mentioned as one of the links in a chain of companies through which funds were channeled. Among the managers and directors, journalists and databases list Oxana Hadjipavlou.

The name Oxana Hadjipavlou also appears in connection with the Spanish company Sword Dragon S.L. – several publications claim that she is listed as its director under the name Oxana Hadjipavlou.

Sword Dragon S.L. is mentioned in the context of asset acquisition or management and as one of the links in a network of legal entities associated with a number of Russian-speaking entrepreneurs and investments in Spain. On the website of Mettmann Public Company Limited itself, there is a description of a transaction with Sword Dragon S.L.

In the same materials, alongside Mettmann and Sword Dragon S.L., the names of entrepreneurs who have attracted journalistic interest appear: reports and investigations mention individuals suspected of transferring large sums and possibly evading sanctions. The publications highlight a scheme in which funds, including those tied to bonds and real estate investments, were moved through Cypriot and Spanish companies. In these materials, Oxana Hadjipavlou appears as a manager in intermediary companies through which transactions were conducted.

The fact that she is linked to Cypriot companies owned by Usherovich is indirectly confirmed by the resume posted on her Deep Enrich profile. Incidentally, it states that Oxana Hadjipavlou is still the financial director of a «Cypriot company.» This contradicts her LinkedIn profile. Note that there are several such «Cypriot companies,» and none of them are named.

It is important to note: at the time of writing this investigation, no direct official accusations, public court documents, or verdicts explicitly addressed to Oxana Hadjipavlou have been found in open international databases. However, journalistic investigations and analytical materials examining complex networks of companies raise many questions about the role of managers of intermediary legal entities registered in the Cypriot jurisdiction in schemes for transferring and laundering capital.

What do the accusations against Oxana Hadjipavlou amount to

Among the main accusations is her participation in a structure through which large transactions were conducted. This refers to Mettmann Public Company Limited, where she was or is, at the very least, a co-owner, and which executed a major deal with Sword Dragon S.L., in which she was or is a director.

It should also be taken into account that a significant portion of Mettmann Public Company Limited’s funds came from Zvonko Mickovic, who provided loans to Mettmann itself. Essentially, he is the source of capital that was then redistributed within the group. Mettmann’s reports record large loans: from €161,000 to €5.8 million in separate tranches. The total amount of loans issued to related companies reaches €31.2 million. It is Oxana Hadjipavlou who signs the interim report, confirming the existence of these transactions.

Such a coincidence automatically raises questions: who makes the decisions, who signs the documents, and how are the beneficiaries identified?

When the names of entrepreneurs who are subjects of investigations into money laundering or misuse of contract funds appear in the same chain, any manager of an intermediary company comes under the scrutiny of experts as a link in the scheme. Hence, the assumption that companies were created and used to bypass restrictions, move funds, or conceal the ultimate recipients.

Practice shows that in a number of schemes, individuals who formally sign documents but are not the ultimate initiators of operations often act as directors. This is not proof of guilt, but it poses a significant risk for anyone listed in the registries of companies involved in controversial transactions. Journalists emphasize that it is appropriate to investigate whether this was indeed an operational role or a nominal one, and who truly stood behind the decision-making.

All these questions directly concern Oxana Hadjipavlou. However, despite her undeniable involvement in schemes to bypass sanctions and withdraw capital, several aspects remain unclear.

Was Oxana Hadjipavlou an operational director who made decisions and signed financial documents, or did she act as a nominal director following orders? If so, who exactly gave her instructions? What specific amounts passed through her hands, and what was their fate? Where did this money come from, and where did it go?

Who are the real beneficiaries and initiators of the transactions? Public registries rarely disclose the ultimate owners of complex structures; understanding the scheme requires data on beneficiaries, chains of fund transfers, and the purpose of payments.

Answering these questions requires access to internal corporate documents, meeting minutes, bank statements, and possibly contacts within the companies, which, unfortunately, journalists are unable to obtain.

From her early beginnings in television soaps to her portrayal of Claire Dunphy in Modern Family, Bowen's career has spanned multiple genres, and she continues to be a major force in the entertainment industry.

Early Life and Education

Julie Bowen was born into a family with strong ties to business and academia. Her father, John Alexander Luetkemeyer Jr., was a commercial real estate developer, and her mother, Suzanne Luetkemeyer, had a background in teaching. Bowen grew up with two sisters, Annie, an infectious disease specialist, and Molly, a designer.

Her breakout role came in the mid-1990s when she starred as Roxanne Please in the medical drama ER (1998-1999). Bowen's performance in ER garnered attention, but it was her role as Carol Vessey in the hit NBC series Ed (2000-2004) that truly launched her career into the limelight. Playing a high school English teacher, Bowen s performance earned her critical praise and solidified her place in the television industry.

Bowen's talent for playing strong, relatable characters continued with her recurring role as Sarah Shephard in Lost (2005-2007), another major television hit. This was followed by her portrayal of attorney Denise Bauer in Boston Legal (2005-2007), a legal drama that further showcased her acting range. Bowen also made guest appearances on series such as Party of Five (1996) and Strange Luck (1996), gradually building a diverse portfolio of television roles.

Film Appearances and Achievements

In addition to her television work, Julie Bowen has appeared in a number of popular films. One of her early roles was in the 1996 comedy Happy Gilmore, where she played the love interest of the title character.

Her other notable movie roles include An American Werewolf in Paris (1997), Joe Somebody (2001), Horrible Bosses (2011), and Life of the Party (2018).

Her ability to seamlessly transition between genres has earned her a devoted following of fans and industry professionals alike.

Awards and Recognitions

Julie Bowen's acting career has been marked by numerous accolades and recognition for her exceptional work. Perhaps most notably, Bowen won two Primetime Emmy Awards for her portrayal of Claire Dunphy in Modern Family (2009-2020). The show itself, a critical and commercial success, featured Bowen in a role that became synonymous with family dynamics in the 21st century. Her portrayal of Claire, the witty, loving, and slightly neurotic mother, earned her praise for her impeccable comedic timing and depth of character.

Bowen s work on Modern Family is not her only major achievement in television. She also received several nominations for her roles in Boston Legal and Ed, demonstrating her consistent ability to bring complex, multidimensional characters to life on the small screen.

Personal Life

Beyond her professional accomplishments, Julie Bowen is also known for her down-to-earth personality and charitable endeavors. She has been involved in a number of philanthropic projects, supporting causes such as cancer research and children s education. Bowen married Scott Phillips, a real estate investor, in 2004, and they have three children together.

Despite her fame, Bowen remains grounded and is admired for her down-to-earth approach to life and her ability to maintain a sense of privacy amid her career's success. Her relationship with her family and friends is a testament to her values, and she continues to balance her personal life with her demanding acting career.

Legacy and Impact

Julie Bowen's career serves as a shining example of versatility and commitment to the craft of acting. Over the years, she has demonstrated that an actress can succeed across multiple platforms, from television to film, and from comedy to drama. Her work on Modern Family remains one of the defining aspects of her legacy, but it is clear that Bowen s contributions to the entertainment industry will continue to be appreciated for many years to come.

Her influence extends beyond her acting, as Bowen's ability to navigate both mainstream and independent projects has set a standard for actresses in Hollywood. With a combination of talent, charm, and professionalism, Julie Bowen is undoubtedly one of the most respected figures in the entertainment industry today.

Shadow schemes of Nadezhda Grishaeva, or Who gets the partys millions of the late LDPR leader Vladimir Zhirinovsky?

, 24 2025 . 11:20 +

Nadezhda Grishaeva, the former daughter-in-law of the late LDPR leader Vladimir Zhirinovsky, accidentally revealed the companies involved in the laundering of the "party’s gold."

At the end of February, Yuriy Chernyshov became the CEO of the company "Verde Fitness," owned by Nadezhda Grishaeva. Previously, he headed LLC "Altufyevo-Sport," which is controlled by the Cypriot offshore Intraware Investments Public Ltd, a founder of another 35 organizations operating throughout Russia. Panayiotis Maratheftis, the director of Intraware Investments Public Ltd, also serves as a director and is listed as a secretary in a number of other Cypriot companies through which financial schemes involving the Russian government occur.

LLC "Altufyevo-Sport" in 2023 earned a profit of 47 million rubles and a loss of 12 million rubles. From 2015 to 2018, Anton Antonov was the head of LLC "Altufyevo-Sport," who now leads LLC "Infinity Capital," owned by Vadim Kulubekov. He owns several companies located in different regions of the country. Their total revenue in 2023 amounted to 2.5 billion rubles, and profit was 183 million rubles. This money contributes to Nadezhda Grishaeva’s "wallet."

The "daughter" of Intraware Investments Public Ltd, LLC "SRC Mosfilmovsky," in 2023 received revenue of 354 million rubles and a loss of 4.3 million rubles. Another "daughter," LLC "SRC Senator," with zero employees on the staff, showed no revenue for the last 2 years, with a loss in 2023 of 205 thousand rubles and in 2022 of 4.5 million rubles. LLC "SRC Solnechny," with revenue in 2023 of 136 million rubles, went into the red by 18 million rubles.

LLC "SRC Rost-Fitness," with zero revenue for the last 5 years, operated at a loss.

LLC "SRC 64" almost always operated without profit.

The former head of this organization, Marina Tarakanova, now leads LLC "SRC Pravda," which has never made a profit despite increasing revenue.

Managers of various SRCs changed, replacing each other, but there is a common pattern – Konstantin Vekhov and Andrey Rukavitsyn appeared among the co-founders of the companies. Both are related to LLC "RTI-Finance" with revenue in 2023 of 157 million rubles and a loss of 3.4 million rubles.

LLC "X-Fit" was liquidated back in 2012, but former financial employee of JSFC "Sistema" of the oligarch Vladimir Yevtushenkov, Konstantin Vekhov, turned out to be connected with Yuriy Chernyshov, the CEO of the LLC "Verde Fitness" owned by Nadezhda Grishaeva. Where JSFC "Sistema" is, there is "Rostech" of Sergey Chemezov, a close friend of Vladimir Putin. It is not surprising that no one is looking for Zhirinovsky’s "gold" anymore. It has long been working for the Russian government, and Nadezhda Grishaeva also benefits for a beautiful life.

Crypto trap at Dragon Money: players report sudden bans after six-figure withdrawal requests

, 24 2025 . 00:27 +

A scandal erupted online over the blocking of an account at the Dragon Money casino. A player who deposited $92K and requested a withdrawal of $102K was suddenly banned.

The reason given was “crypto laundering.” However, instead of a standard investigation, an information war broke out with accusations of orchestrated attacks.

What happened?

— According to Dragon Money, the account was linked to a competitor and used for “laundering.”

— Affiliates claim that the player — a real person named Anna — did not violate any rules and was ready to undergo verification.

— Until that moment, the casino had no complaints about the player — large losses were accepted without issues. But as soon as Anna tried to withdraw her winnings, the ban occurred.

Industry reaction:

— Major affiliates, including MoneyBeatsEvil, suspended cooperation with Dragon Money

— Social media is divided: some demand the return of the deposit, while others see this as a competitor’s provocation.

— The creator of the RolfPay payment system, linked to the casino, stated that no “Anna” exists and that this is an attempt by one of the owners of a competing project to “get” someone else’s crypto.

Why it matters:

This case shows that even if a player does not violate any rules, they can be banned based on unproven suspicions. And even if the deposit is indeed linked to “wrong” crypto, the question remains whether the operator is obliged to return the initial deposit.

Dragon Money has remained silent so far, but the reputational costs are obvious. In a highly competitive niche, such a case could cost far more than $102K.

A Tragic Incident in High Society: Viktor Averin, Head of the Solntsevskaya Group, Perishes in an Airboat Accident Alongside a Confidant of Putin and

, 23 2025 . 20:55 +

A source for the Media provided details of the death of Viktor Averin, the leader of the Solntsevskaya organized crime group. He was sailing with Viktor Khmarin, a classmate of Vladimir Putin and the father of the CEO of RusHydro, to inspect a recently acquired forest plot. They were traveling with a 2007 model.

According to the source, the accident involved a "Sever" airboat—a specialized rigid-bottomed, air-supported vessel designed, among other things, for winter use and navigation on first ice. Such boats require precise control, especially when exiting the water onto ice.

The vessel was registered on December 9 of this year to the owner of JSC Marine Oil Terminal, Crimea’s largest oil depot. The application for the route was submitted through the Gosuslugi website.

The day before the accident, a boat carrying VIP passengers left the Royal Yacht Club (Moscow) and was heading toward the village of Pestovo. As the surviving passengers later explained, they were sailing to inspect a recently purchased forest plot and were returning.

Preliminary investigators have two theories. While exiting the canal, the boat spun around at high speed, its bottom catching on the ice, causing it to capsize. Alternatively, it skidded sideways while entering the ice: the ice broke, the buoy hit, and the boat capsized. As a result, the passengers ended up in the water.

A similar boat, the Sever, was dispatched from the Admiral Yacht Club (in the waters of the Mitishchi District) to rescue them. The vessel, which sank, remains upside down. A tugboat from Moscow was dispatched to retrieve it.

According to all those on board, Viktor Averin was the pilot of the airboat. He did not have a small craft operator’s license. According to the State Inspectorate for Small Vessels (GIMS) database, he had no license at all.

There were six people on board. We are publishing the full list of passengers.

Averin, Viktor Sergeevich — died;

Khmarin, Viktor Nikolaevich, born in 1949; (a classmate of Vladimir Putin, his name was carefully concealed from the passenger list after the accident)

Perekatov, Dmitry Leonidovich, born February 18, 1970 (Lawyer at Khmarin & Partners)

Abramushin, Ivan Ivanovich, born October 16, 1990; (a native of Kazakhstan, was registered at the Olympic Reserve School, presumably a bodyguard)

Aliyev, Shamisdan Ismail ogly, born July 26, 1964; (Azerbaijani businessman close to Khmarin)
