A BNE Intellinews article posted March 6 alleges that Forbes-listed billionaire Oleg Tinkov used money he raised from selling his stake in Tinkoff Bank in Russia to help kick start a fintech project south of the border.

Their latest fintech company, called Different Technologies, is registered as a U.S. company.
