The names of Sergei and Vyacheslav Mavrodi heard at leasttime not only in the CIS, but also far beyond its borders. And all thanks to the scam, which they turned, creating a financial pyramid under the notorious name "MMM."
Paradoxically, most of the victims"MMM" believe that the senior Mavrodi himself suffered from the state, which began to fear his strength, popularity and the trust that he provided citizens. Once Sergei threatened the state elite that he would easily gather a popular referendum and thus solve the necessary questions. After that power structures began to accuse him of illegal entrepreneurial activity and incriminate him with an article about tax evasion.
But for the sake of justice it is worth noting that all"Merit" should not be attributed only to Sergei. In the case of "MMM" all his close relatives were involved, because he believed that it was impossible to entrust the management of billions to a stranger, no matter how reliable he seemed. In the management of "MMM" Sergei almost all relatives were involved, including his younger brother - Mavrodi Vyacheslav.
Biography of Vyacheslav Mavrodi and his legendarybrother, no doubt, interests many. Future entrepreneurs-schemers were born in Moscow, they are native Muscovites. Judging by the brief data that can be found to date in free access, their parents were no different from the other millions of citizens of the Soviet Union at that time.
It is known that their father, Pantelei Andreevich, wasan ordinary fitter. Mother - Valentina Fedorovna - an economist. In an interview, which was once given to the prestigious publication Esquire, the younger brother of Mavrodi Vyacheslav (photo can be seen in our article), it is said that for a long time the family lived in a house located near the Novodevichy Convent. Over time, they moved to an elite house. Their new apartment was located on Komsomolsky Avenue, where the Malikov family and Oleg Yankovsky lived next door to them.
Now their parents are no longer alive. They both died of oncology. Valentina Fyodorovna died in 1986 - she was diagnosed with liver cancer. A few years earlier, his father had also left - in 1980 he died of lung cancer.
The original idea of creating the infamousthe financial structure of the "MMM" came to the mind of his older brother Sergei. Managing multimillion-dollar capitals, he was able to entrust only to the closest people. So Vyacheslav Mavrodi in the structure created by his brother, becomes vice-president and chief accountant. He actively helps to increase the capital of his blood relative. In addition to working for MMM, Vyacheslav embodies several quite successful commercial projects.
After the financial pyramid is taken seriouslythe tax inspectorate became interested and the activities of the brothers were suspended, millions of depositors were perplexed and did not quite understand that this was the end, and they would not see their money. Vyacheslav Mavrodi, photo is in our article, did not give in to panic.
All the ideological work to promote the newfinancial system Vyacheslav led almost from the underground. At this time, he was actively interrogated about the activities of the already covered "MMM", and the Russian UBEP was seriously interested in the activities of the new system of voluntary donations. In 1998, the employees of UBEP searched the office of Vyacheslav and seized from him gold bars, the legitimacy of which was questioned by law enforcement agencies. Questions arose about the source of funds, which allowed Vyacheslav to buy 21 ingots weighing 5 grams each.
Mavrodi, Jr., preferred not to answer these questions, and as a result, in 1999 a criminal case was brought against him. Vyacheslav went underground ...
He periodically changed the removable Moscowapartment, left them extremely rarely and only accompanied by protection. Specially hired people provided him with food and everything necessary. With the outside world, Vyacheslav actively communicated via the Internet, and his loneliness was brightened by a friend, because of which, in fact, Vyacheslav Mavrodi was found by law enforcement agencies.
The fact that the fugitive was discoveredthe imprudence of a certain girl who brightened up his loneliness may at first seem strange. After all, he was officially married to Marina Muravyova. Vyacheslav Mavrodi was with her in an official marriage. It is worth noting that Marina in "MMM" was an accountant, and there are rumors that she took an active part in the activity of the pyramid. But before meeting with Vyacheslav, the woman was in close relationship with the famous singer - O. Gazmanov.
In 2001, the younger Mavrodi was taken into custody. In 2003, the court issued its decision. Vyacheslav was found guilty of conducting illegal banking activities and turnover with precious metals. The sentence was as follows: confiscation of property and imprisonment for 5 years and 3 months.
Once the lawyer of Mavrodi Sr. spoke aboutthe fact that in fact, Vyacheslav was serving a full term, because the Service for the Execution of Punishments constantly refused to submit documents to him for consideration of the release of the UDO under various fictitious pretexts. It is said that someone from above did not want Mavrodi to go free before the deadline. In any case, how things really were, the broad masses are most likely never to find out.
After the conclusion of Vyacheslav's wifealmost immediately began to appear in the company of Oleg Gazmanov. Their romance began even before Marina met Mavrodi, but at that time the singer was married to another woman and did not dare leave it. After Muravyova received an offer to marry a well-known businessman, she did not think long and accepted it. There is gossip that even after the wedding, she did not stop her meetings with the singer. When the official husband was imprisoned, she began to appear, accompanied by Gazmanov, at secular events already in the open.
Vyacheslav was released in 2006. At the prison he was met by a jeep, which took Mavrodi to meet a new life at large. Under the walls of the colony, he was met by many journalists, whom he refused to communicate with.
