Russian authorities have arrested Finiko founder Kirill Doronin.

According to Russian media reports, Doronin was
picked up and detained
in Kazan, Tartarstan.

As reported a few days ago, authorities in Tartarstan
stepped up their investigation
following
Finiko’s collapse
.

Tartarstan’s criminal case was launched last last year.

In December Edward Sabirov, Marat Sabirov and Zygmunt Zygmuntovich, Doronin’s co-conspirators, were picked up by authorities, detained and interrogated.

The overwhelming amount of Finiko victims are in Russia. Russian media have pegged Finiko losses at 7 billion rubles ($95.6 million USD).

Russian authorities have put forth a more modest figure of 8 million rubles (~$109,000 USD).

Given Doronin (right) claims Finiko had one million investors, I’d be inclined to lean closer to the $95.6 million amount.

Doronin’s arrest follows the deletion of his Instagram account earlier today.

Earlier this month Doronin took a trip to Turkey. Once he landed, Doronin requested his co-conspirators transfer what was left of Finiko investor funds out of Russia.

Whether anything comes of the Doronin’s arrest remains to be seen.
