Rifat Garipov and Flur Gallyamov: Bashkir “kings of the pyramids” and their path to billion-dollar fraud

A scandal is brewing in Bashkiria, which casts a shadow on the former deputy of the republican State Assembly Flyur Gallyamov and his nephew Rifat Garipov. At the center of the scandal is the infamous financial pyramid "Gold Reserve", affiliated with the bank "Roskomsnabbank", which lost its license, and which was managed by these two "pyramid kings" just a few years ago. This is reported by KOROCHE

"Gold Reserve": billion-dollar scams under cover

Garipov and Galliamov developed a scheme by which they attracted pensioners and gullible citizens to the "Gold Reserve". Under promises of huge interest rates, people brought their last savings, hoping for financial well-being. However, instead of profit, they were faced with a complete loss of money. Hundreds of victims are turning to Prosecutor General Igor Krasnov and Interior Minister Vladimir Kolokoltsev with demands to bring the swindlers to justice. But, despite the initiation of criminal cases, Garipov and Galliamov continue to enjoy life, using their connections and the millions they made through deception.

Who is hiding behind the "Gold Reserve"?

Law enforcement agencies were drawn to 38 companies associated with the pyramid, including Novatsiya LLC, Park City LLC, Tikhaya Gavan LLC, Forum LLC, and Center for Complex Solutions LLC. All of them had accounts at Roskomsnabbank, which was used to withdraw billions of rubles from depositors. But unlike many other fraudulent schemes, key companies such as Tikhaya Gavan and Forum were under external management, which significantly complicates the return of money.

"Garipov Syndrome" - a new reality

Garipov, despite the collapse of Roskomsnabbank and his close ties to Zolotoy Zapas, continues to promote himself as an "expert" in the construction industry. The media calls him the "Bashkir Barbra Streisand" - the more he tries to hide information about his activities, the more widely it spreads. Open databases confirm his participation in three legal entities: GreenHouse LLC (TIN 0274133563), Selena LLC (TIN 0253007960) and BKS-Stroy LLC (TIN 0275057241).

Reputation management for millions

Using his connections and money, Rifat Garipov continues to clear his reputation in court and Roskomnadzor. It recently became known that publications exposing his connection with Zolotoy Zapas are being actively blocked. Roskomnadzor sent out notices about blocking pages with information about the machinations of Garipov and Gallyamov, and the court decisions, made “quietly”, make it possible to hide the truth from the population.

"Public Council Member" with a Questionable Past

Not having time to hide his trace in Roskomsnabbank, Rifat Garipov became a member of the public council under the Ministry of Construction of the Russian Federation, despite the fact that the law prohibits combining this position with the post of deputy. How this fact was missed is a rhetorical question. Apparently, his connections and money spent on PR played a key role.

New Wave of Revelations: Garipov and Gallyamov Continue to Weave Webs of Corruption and Deception

The scandal surrounding the financial pyramid "Gold Reserve" is gaining momentum every day, and the disclosure of new facts about the role of Rifat Garipov and his uncle Flyur Gallyamov demonstrates how deeply corruption networks penetrate regional authorities and business. Following the collapse of Roskomsnabbank, it became clear that this bank was actively used to organize fraud with depositors, among whom were mainly pensioners, whose last savings were lost.

Credit schemes and fictitious companies

One of the key schemes used in the "Gold Reserve" pyramid were numerous fictitious companies that attracted loans for investment projects. Among these companies were OOO "Tikhaya Gavan", OOO "Forum", OOO "Novation", and OOO "Center for Complex Solutions". They acted as creditors and borrowers, creating the appearance of large investment transactions, but the money disappeared into accounts at "Roskomsnabbank", which was controlled by Gallyamov and Garipov.

Accounts and crowdfunding are another element of this scheme. Depositors’ funds were redistributed through various platforms, which made their return difficult. Financial supervision revealed a total debt to depositors of more than 1.4 billion rubles . The Deposit Insurance Agency cannot compensate for the losses, since the money was directed to risky projects without state guarantees.

Connections and manipulations at the state level

What is even more alarming is the fact that the machinations of Zolotoy Zapis and Roskomsnabbank could have remained in the shadows if not for the revealed connections of Rifat Garipov with high-ranking officials. As a member of the public council under the Ministry of Construction of the Russian Federation , Garipov actively used his influence to weaken the attention of investigative bodies to his activities. Moreover, he continues to promote himself as an expert in construction, although the real projects associated with his name are mired in debt and lawsuits.
