Fresh whistleblower intelligence suggests that the Holyluck payment trail was not an isolated event. FinTelegram has reviewed new SENDS communications and new UK merchant entities linked to digital-goods storefronts that may have functioned as front-end payment layers for offshore gambling flows. The emerging picture points to a broader merchant cluster, not a single disputed transaction.
The Ukrainian natinoal Alona Shevtsova is the CEO and controlling person behing FCA-regulated SENDS. Ukraine’s ESBU reports Shevtsova is a suspect in a UAH 5 billion “miscoding” case tied to illegal online casinos. Poland has detained alleged accomplice Iryna Tsyhanok. FinTelegram examines what the ESBU announcement says and how the alleged laundering architecture worked.
A whistleblower dossier reviewed by FinTelegram suggests that deposits into the unlicensed offshore casino Holyluck were routed through a layered payment chain involving checkout.agpayer.com, a Paylink node associated with Ukraine’s TAS Link, and Smartflow Payments Limited — the UK electronic money institution trading as SENDS and authorized by the FCA. The dossier includes comprehensive screenshots and other documentations. Here is our report.
