The court-appointed Joint Liquidators submitted a progress report in Feb 2022 providing a sense of the scale of the iPayTotal disaster while outlining how these high-risk payment processors operate. The liquidators identified 13 creditors but only seven reported claims totaling about GBP 1.1 million. These are likely to be the merchants who wanted to receive their payments through iPayTotal. iPayTotal Ltd was just one of many legal entities in the vanished group. So we can assume that the damage to the merchants is actually many times higher. Many millions have disappeared.

It seems that the former people around the collapsed high-risk payment processor iPayTotal have developted a vast network of successor companies.

Currently, Paypound and Payomatix and the crypto payment processors Cryptomatix and Kryptova are associated with Indian-British iPayTotal co-founder Ruchi Rathor. iPayTotal is active as a fintech software provider through companies in India and Portugal. Ruchi Rathor is still one of the driving forces behind these high-risk payment ventures with close African ties.

According to his LinkedIn profile, Christian van Biezen lives and works in Limassol, Cyprus, one of the European powerhouses of Forex brokers, which are part of a high-risk industry, whether regulated or unregulated. Consequently, a highly active high-risk payment processor scene has developed around these Cypriot forex brokers.
