The Lithuanian Liudvikas Kulikauskas is the co-founder, CEO, and shareholder of GlobalNetInt (GNI), an e-Money Institution regulated by the Bank of Lithuania. Additionally, he and his wife Egle Kulikauskiene launched the payment processor Ifind MB d/b/a Findiban, which was apparently positioned as a high-risk payment processor, offering businesses a range of financial services, including SEPA IBAN account, white-label FinTech services, or credit card processing. Currently, the Findiban website is in maintenance mode and hence down.

Liudvikas Kulikauskas, founder, CEO, and shareholder of GlobalNetInt UAB (GNI), an e-Money Institution (EMI) regulated by the Bank of Lithuania with authorization code LB000434, has founded a payment processor Ifind MB d/b/a Findiban (www.findiban.com), together with his wife, Egle Kulikauskiene. The company is apparently positioned as a high-risk payment processor, offering businesses a range of financial services, including SEPA IBAN account, white-label FinTech services, or credit card processing.

In September 2020, the German regulator BaFin issued a cease and desist order against the broker scams TheCapitalStocks (www.thecapitalstocks.com) and RoyaltyFinance (www.royaltyfinance.io), operated by Estonian Kleinman Group via its company in St. Vincent & the Grenadines. Already in August 2020, the Italian CONSOB warned against these scams. Recently FinTelegram published a report on the Estonian Kleinman Group (read here). Unfortunately, the TheCapitalStocks scam is still online.

A few weeks ago, we reported on the BaFin warning against the scam broker TheCapitalStocks (www.thecapitalsrocks.com). This was operated through the Estonian Kleinman Services OÜ and its parent company Kleinman Enterprise Ltd, St. Vincent and the Grenadines. The sole director of Kleinman Services in Estonia is Swede Luis Christofer Lundberg, born in September 1990, so he is responsible for its scams TheCapitalStocks, WiseFunds, CreditWise, or RoyaltyFinance.

In the last few weeks, we have noticed an increasing number of Lithuanian companies acting as illegal payment processors for scams and handling bank payments for their client-victims. The payments are made on the basis of fake invoices for alleged consulting services issued by these illegal payment processors. Recently we have uncovered Skylas UAB, Fuselma UAB, or Merelita UAB as such scam facilitators and money launderers. We urgently ask investors to be super-cautious before paying an unrelated Lithuanian company for fake services.
