Former Russian and billionaire Turlov, after emigrating, became one of the wealthiest entrepreneurs in Kazakhstan: his financial pyramids are now "thriving" in Astana.

Victims of fraud by top managers of Freedom Holding Corp., controlled by businessman of Russian origin Timur Turlov, have refuted — including with documented proof — his claims regarding the criminal cases, in which he alleged that “the dispute concerns only individuals who had civil-law relations with each other,” thereby catching him in an outright lie.
