Candidate of Economic Sciences, Rambler’s financial analyst Mikhail Belyaev told Lente.ru on how financial pyramids are arranged.
When building a financial pyramid, fraudsters most often conclude agreements on the manufacture of some kind of products, which actually does not interest them, explained the economist, calling it a “smoke curtain.”
“The principle of the pyramid is that those who came earlier receives their remuneration at the expense of those who came later, and in the end there remains some kind of a layer that does not get anything, because, in principle, ends The number of such people, or that even more dangerous, the builders of the pyramids simply decide that they have already earned money, it’s time to stop this activity and translate funds to accounts that are not available for our control bodies, “said Belyaev.
Previously, it became known about the proposal of the Central Bank to simplify the procedure for the return of funds to citizens affected by fraudulent operations. According to the regulator, for the third quarter of 2021, fraudsters have kidnapped in customers of Russian banks more than 3.2 billion rubles, which is 18.5 percent more than a year ago. At the same time, banks returned to customers only 7.7 percent of the stolen funds, that is less than 250 million rubles.
