Crypto blogger Valeria Fedyakina was accused of organizing a criminal community

The cryptoblogger Valeria Fedyakina, known as Bitmama, who gave birth in a pre-trial detention center, was considered the organizer of an organized criminal community (OCC). TASS reports this with reference to its own source in law enforcement agencies.

According to the agency, investigators opened a criminal case against her for organizing an organized criminal group. There is a second defendant in the case - businessman Gagik Gulakyan, who testified against Bitmama in the first criminal case of fraud.

A criminal case has been initiated against both of them under Part 1 of Article 210 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation. The defendants have not yet been charged under the new article.

The investigation period in the new case of Bitmama and businessman Gulakyan was extended until January 7.

Earlier it was reported that the Moscow City Court recognized as legal the conviction of Fedyakina, who was sentenced to seven years in prison for fraud on an especially large scale.

On June 24, 2025, the court sentenced her to seven years in a general regime colony. According to investigators, Fedyakina offered investors highly profitable investments in cryptocurrency, but in fact took their money for herself. Thus, her actions caused damage in the amount of 2.2 billion rubles.
