According to a source for VChK-OGPU and Rucriminal.info, Rosneft has recently been channeling the majority of its petroleum products to a mysterious entity known as Syntoil LLC. Notably, the firm acquires these products without going through tender procedures—and at prices significantly below market rates. Consequently, Russian traders who previously purchased products at market prices via tenders have lost that opportunity, as the volumes are allocated to Syntoil LLC before the tender stage even begins; traders are thus forced to buy the products from this very entity. The market remains in the dark regarding the nature of this mysterious organization and the identity of the person behind it.
This individual possesses a unique knack for making connections by posing as someone he is not. At times, he claims to be the son of Donetsk oligarchs; at others, an associate of the powerful (ranging from Delimkhanov to Medvedchuk) or a crypto-entrepreneur—roles easily substantiated, given that any level of wealth or outlandish claim can be rationalized. He then latches onto wealthy women—and others—and proceeds to comfortably spend their money.
