The cryptocurrency company of Russian actor Pavel Derevyanko and his partner Grigory Muluzyan, ‘Bii Soul’, owes investors 177 million rubles. According to the Telegram channel SHOT.
According to Muluzyan, since 2021 he provided Derevyanko with advice on stock trading, through which the actor earned ‘a few million’. For his services, the business partner allegedly took 50% of the profits.
“Pavel’s minimum monthly profit was about 4.5 million rubles, the maximum was 175 million rubles,” he said.
Subsequently, according to the trader, Derevyanko drew 11 people into the scheme, including the actor Artem Tkachenko, director Maryus Vaisberg and a number of businessmen.
Muluzyan said that transactions were conducted through a bespoke bot developed by the company ‘Bii Soul’, in which Derevyanko is a co-founder. In their activities, the partners allegedly used the services of the cryptocurrency exchange Xena Exchange.
SHOT further claims that “in April 2022 Xena Exchange did not return 265 million rubles to the entrepreneurs.”
In a comment to ForkLog, Xena Exchange founder Anton Kravchenko said that SHOT “misinterpreted” Muluzyan’s words — the video contains no allegations of improper actions by the exchange.
According to Kravchenko, all losses mentioned relate exclusively to Muluzyan’s activities, which he conducted more than a year and a half ago.
“Over the past eighteen months, no legal claims by Muluzyan against Xena Exchange have been filed,” the founder of the exchange added.
According to Muluzyan, he personally settled around 88 million rubles of the debts, but he believes Derevyanko should also pay part of the amount.
Earlier ForkLog reported that Pavel Derevyanko and Grigory Muluzyan are suspected of fraud of more than 1 million rubles based on a statement by one of the investors. The actor himself said that he lost 45 million rubles.
