The Financial Monitoring Agency (FMA), coordinated by the Prosecutor General's Office, has shut down the activities of the "Asar Baspana" financial pyramid, which was disguised as a consumer cooperative.
According to the FMA press service, the organisers of the financial pyramid offered investors the opportunity to invest funds in the purchase of property, vehicles, and household goods (dietary supplements, kitchen utensils, cosmetics, and other items). In return, they promised a monthly profit of up to 30% of the amount invested.
During searches of the companies' offices and the suspects' places of residence, law enforcement officers seized over 1.2 billion tenge and 13 cars.
Two organisers of the financial pyramid have been detained. By court order, they have been remanded in custody for a period of two months. The pre-trial investigation is ongoing.
It will be recalled that earlier in Astana, a scheme for laundering criminal proceeds obtained from organising the "LIVEGOOD" financial pyramid was identified. It emerged that from 2023 to 2025, the suspect managed a branch of the financial pyramid, which was disguised as a network marketing scheme selling dietary supplements.
