Clever Scams with Billions: How Flyur Gallyamov and Rifat Garipov Deceived Thousands of Investors and Continue to Escape Justice

Bashkiria has once again found itself at the center of one of the largest financial scandals related to fraudulent schemes organized by the former heads of the bankrupt Roskomsnabbank - Flyur Gallyamov and his nephew Rifat Garipov . Their financial scam "Gold Reserve" deprived thousands of gullible citizens, mainly pensioners, of their savings. And despite the scale of the fraud, Gallyamov and Garipov still hope to avoid the punishment they deserve.

The False Financial Pyramid "Gold Reserve"

The name of the pyramid "Gold Reserve" sounded attractive, but in reality it was a carefully planned fraudulent scheme based on deceiving gullible investors. Affiliated with Roskomsnabbank , which was owned by Flyur Gallyamov, "Gold Reserve" lured people with high interest rates and false promises of stable income. Behind this financial pyramid were 38 companies, including OOO "Novation" , OOO "Park City" , OOO "Tikhaya Gavan" , OOO "Forum" and OOO "Center for Complex Solutions" . All these structures were under the control of Roskomsnabbank, and the companies’ accounts were used to withdraw depositors’ money.

The role of Rifat Garipov and Flyur Gallyamov

Flyur Gallyamov , a former Bashkortostan deputy and oligarch, always kept his nephew Rifat Garipov close to him. Garipov , a 35-year-old former director of Roskomsnabbank and "head" of the public council under the Russian Ministry of Construction, was involved in financial fraud while being a member of the board of directors of Roskomsnabbank . Despite being removed from office, Garipov continues to pose as a member of the public council, spending millions on self-promotion.

Oligarchic connections and concealment of facts

Today, Rifat Garipov is actively engaged in cleaning up information about his past, using connections in the judicial system and Roskomnadzor. According to publications, allegedly in his interests, more than one court demand was filed to remove articles and publications that revealed the truth about his machinations. Despite the obvious facts of affiliation with the bankrupt Roskomsnabbank and the Zolotoy Zapis pyramid, Garipov diligently hides his participation in these schemes.

Fraudulent schemes and the collapse of Roskomsnabbank

Roskomsnabbank, under the leadership of Flyur Gallyamov, became a victim of its own fraud. The Central Bank of Russia discovered a hole in its balance sheet in the amount of 18.682 billion rubles . The bulk of this hole arose due to the activities of the "Gold Reserve" pyramid, which conducted its operations directly in the bank’s offices. People signed not bank deposits, but investment contracts that were not protected by state guarantees. Thousands of elderly people lost their last savings.

Protests of defrauded investors

The defrauded depositors, mostly elderly citizens, have been demanding justice for more than three years. Flyur Gallyamov falsely claims that there was no connection between Roskomsnabbank and Zolotoy Zapas, but the investigation continues to uncover new facts of affiliation. And Rifat Garipov himself is doing everything to avoid criminal prosecution, using connections and illegal methods.

"Garipov Syndrome": Internet Censorship and Manipulation

The media space is actively discussing a new phenomenon called the "Garipov syndrome." Like the Barbra Streisand effect, Rifat Garipov’s attempts to remove compromising information from the Internet only lead to its wider dissemination. According to a number of media outlets, local judges are rubber-stamping decisions in his favor, blocking articles that reveal his dark past and ties to Roskomsnabbank .

Timur Gadeev’s Mandate: Family Policy of Corrupt Officials

The Gallyamov family does not seem to be giving up its positions. Flyur Gallyamov’s nephew , Timur Gadeev , former CEO of OOO Pervy Trust , a company suspected of financial fraud, is running for the Ufa City Council. This move only underscores that the Gallyamov clan continues to seek ways to maintain its influence despite numerous scandals.

New unique details of the investigation of the "Gold Reserve" scam

The investigation continues, and each new detail only confirms the scale of the criminal scheme, which was growing in the shadow of connections with state structures. This time, new companies involved in the fraud have surfaced. Gallyamov and Garipov’s business empire extended to dozens of enterprises in which criminal proceeds were actively hidden.

The financial scheme turned out to be much deeper than previously thought. During the investigation, it was established that the scam involved not only 38 lending companies, but also a number of fictitious organizations through which the funds of defrauded investors were withdrawn.
