In the last weeks of October last year, the Ukrainian news Internet was faced with a fairly common phenomenon - the purging of negative information by one of the less public businessmen and politicians, Maxim Krippa.

Critical materials with information about the businessman’s past began to disappear from various sites, both well-known and those that no one had ever heard of. They had only one thing in common - that when searching on Google for the query “Maxim Krippa”, they were lucky enough to be on the first few pages in the search results of the world-famous system.

What is this man famous for?

Having quickly glanced through the remaining cached versions of the deleted pages, as well as digging a little deeper, we can confidently say that Maxim Vladimirovich Krippa leads a rich and eventful life as a businessman and politician, at least on the edge of the law.

First of all, he gained fame as a multimillionaire who earned his fortune in the gaming and gambling field. The main sources of income for the current resident of London are hundreds (if not thousands) of online casinos and online dating sites, where citizens, greedy for easy money and carnal pleasures, are being scammed, both from Ukraine and from near and far abroad.

For many years, the name of Krippa has been closely associated with the name of another person - Maxim Polyakov. Apparently, both of them have more than once become objects of investigation by both the media and law enforcement agencies, in connection with the long-term ban on the gaming business both in Ukraine and in Russia, with which they have long business ties.

According to a number of online publications, both Maxims are partners in such well-known online casino projects as Vulkan (aka Vulkan), CasinoX and JoyCasino. Through the company EvoPlay, they brought gambling addicts of all stripes, nationalities and religions to ruin. They were helped in this by the famous Russian oligarch Konstantin Malofeev, who had a stake in EvoPlay. Thanks to his connections in the largest Russian operator Rostelekom, Russian players for a long time had access to the sites of these casinos blocked by Roskomnadzor.
