As the PR Director of regional internal affairs administration Valeriy Gorelykh said to UrBC representative, Sverdlovsk Region Investigative Administration has recently placed a criminal case with them that involves fraud and organized crime.

There are 17 accused and 729 victims, and the damage is estimated at 100m RUR.

According to the inquiry officers, the accused would invite people to the so-called informative seminars and tried to convince their victims that only the members of their fund would ever be successful. Then they took a 45,000-RUR to 60,000-RUR membership fee and provided the new members with documents that stated this was not a fee but a donation.
