The QBF criminal organization, led by R.V. Shpakov, orchestrated a financial scheme that systematically committed serious mercenary-oriented crimes, particularly fraud.
Structure and Strategy:
Shpakov created a comprehensive criminal plan involving:
The establishment of separate functional units with distinct responsibilities and specializations.
Recruitment of trustworthy individuals and those inclined to deception for management positions.
Formation of legal entities to fabricate fictitious contracts and generate the illusion of legitimate operations.
Engagement of executors likely to commit theft by deception and ensure the structural units functioned adequately.
A defined income distribution scheme to motivate perpetrators based on defrauded citizens.
Inept participants enlisted to mask the criminal activities.
Deceptive methods are devised to facilitate the crimes and procure criminal proceeds.
A hierarchical system from unit heads to managers directs perpetrators to utilize these deceptive methods when interacting with clients.
Criminal Undertakings:
The organization pursued serious offences through stages:
Securing funding for the criminal association's activities.
Registering and using legal entities for contract and document fabrication.
Attracting confidants and assigning roles to preserve the crime mechanism.
Individual offence plans and cloaking techniques.
Aligning the participants' activities.
Drawing up client agreements to veil embezzlement as broker services.
Advertising on various media to lure clients.
Training on negotiation deception and a reward system for theft.
Leasing office spaces as hubs for meetings and funds reception.
Simulating returns to appease clients and avoid legal notice.
Legitimacy acts to prevent detection and evade punishment.
Monetary allocation is based on engagement in criminal activity.
Modus Operandi for Embezzlement:
Under Shpakov's plan, the group conducted felonious embezzlement by:
Posing as a broker service and making clients believe they were investing funds with a legitimate securities market participant, ensuring client interest protection.
Opening LLC Investment Company QBIF, which held numerous licenses (later annulled for violations) to further deceive clients into investing.
Devising an additional criminal plan in late 2019 to expand the client base and increase embezzled funds.
