Alex Weinstein and his «pseudo-intellectual clubs»: Secret ties and business interests

Active in Latvia through his Maltese company, Dyninno Group Limited, is Alex Weinstein, also known as Alex Weinstein. In Russia, he owns a microfinance company (MFO) called «Ecofinance» and enjoys the reputation of a socialite.

Let’s start with the serious side. In April 2021, the Bank of Russia issued a directive to «Ecofinance», operating under the brand CreditPlus.

«A directive has been sent to DYNINNO FINTECH HOLDING LIMITED (NE 347548), which holds the right to dispose of over 10% of LLC MFO “Ecofinance” shares, in accordance with part 3 of article 4.3 of Law No.151-FZ “On Microfinance Activities and Microfinance Organizations”, — reads the announcement.

The mentioned article sets requirements for founders (members) of microfinance organizations. It prohibits owning more than 10% of MFO shares to individuals who do not meet business reputation requirements.

According to information published by MFO «Ecofinance» on January 26, 2021, the owners of a 78% share in DYNINNO FINTECH HOLDING LIMITED are U.S. citizen Alex Weinstein, giving him indirect ownership of 70.5% in LLC MFO «Ecofinance», and Latvian citizen Dmitrijs Cimbars (or Dmitry Tsymbers, owning 21.8% offshore, resulting in indirect ownership of 19.6% in LLC).

In December 2020, the Central Bank of the Russian Federation banned «Ecofinance» from attracting investments from individuals.

The Maltese company DYNAMIC INNOVATIONS LIMITED was highlighted on the International Consortium of Investigative Journalists’ Offshoreleaks.icij.org portal. In Latvia, it owns a range of firms such as DYNATECH, JTECH FOUNDATION, TRAVELTECH, JERUZALEMES BC, and others. The sole beneficiary is Alex Weinstein, who besides Moldovan holds American and Israeli citizenship. He is also a trustee board member of the Jewish community in Moldova and an advisor to the board of the Jewish community in Latvia.

Alex Weinstein is married, not divorced. He has young children.

Moscow bohemians report:

«The wife is someone named Georgiadis Kristina Dmitrievna. An attractive woman, a nominal figure in all of her husband’s Russian businesses, works as a psychologist at a Jewish clinic in Skolkovo. Her father is a major businessman, also using surnames Kyurdzhiev and Gyurdzhev (he ordered a film about his clan for a family celebration)».

Recently, Alex Weinstein became a subject of Russian tabloid chronicles. His entry into this kind of publicity was thanks to Kseniya Sobchak, who wrote that socialite Nadezhda Obolentseva is in a relationship with an Israeli of American origin who lives between Russia and America. «It was on his jet that they were not allowed to fly from Tulum to the USA — the borders are closed,» noted Kseniya Sobchak.

In March 2019, Nadezhda Obolentseva appeared in a cameo role in Konstantin Bogomolov’s erotic thriller «Kept Women». The lady played the role of a hostess at a celebratory reception.

However, according to Moscow chroniclers, things are not so simple. Nadezhda Obolentseva is a Moscovite in the fourth generation. For a long time, the Obolentsevs lived in Central America, where the head of the family, Stanislav, worked at the Russian embassy. After finishing school, Nadezhda enrolled at Moscow State University and completed two faculties: journalism and art history. Nadezhda Obolentseva was the first editor of the social chronicle of the Russian edition of Tatler. Together with the wife of notable Russian politician Alexei Kudrin, Irina Kudrina, she founded the intellectual community of like-minded people «Club 418» in Moscow. Later, a branch of the club appeared in St. Petersburg. Membership in the closed «Club 418» is only possible through recommendations from its participants.

«Nadin’s intellectual club is needed by «Alex» to strengthen connections with the Russian-speaking Jewish establishment. Thanks to his wife’s father, Alex became what he became. And now he repays his wife’s family in such a specific way,» write the critics online.

But let’s return to Latvia. Here, Alex is noticed in the company of the founder of the «Pardaugava» group Alexander Lavent.

In April 2009, after more than a decade-long trial, a verdict was enforced in the Banka Baltija case, which found the chairman of the bank’s supervisory board, Alexander Lavent, guilty of sabotage, embezzlement of depositors’ funds, concealing accounting data, and intentionally driving the bank to bankruptcy.

Alexander Lavent was sentenced to 7 years and 7 months in prison. By the time the verdict came into force, he had served this term.

Incidentally, the Latvian National Archive, as written by the portal Kompromat.lv, published the agent card of Alexander Lavent. The KGB gave the operative the pseudonym «RICHTER».

Alex Weinstein and His Women

The man’s name is Alex Weinstein. He is an Israeli-Moldovan-Latvian Moscovite with a U.S. passport. In short, a dream. Mr. Weinstein sponsors synagogues in Moldova and Latvia, supports Jews “with the help of technology with innovations”.

He is married to his sponsor Kristina Weinstein-Georgiadis. She is from a family of wealthy Russian Greeks, the Kyurdzhiev-Georgiadis, who own construction businesses in Moscow.

Alex Weinstein used Greek money to launch the shady fintech "Ecofinance". It is also known as CreditPlus and Ecofinance. The fintech provided Russians with microloans. But the Central Bank discovered it was a Ponzi scheme and shut it down.

This worn-out Maybach S500 was gifted to Moscow Metro official Leila Latina. She is considered an escort from Cafemania. Along with Leila, Konstantin Maznyuk owned the Maybach. He was a poor man who used to scam Muscovites for Nikon cameras in "Live Journal". He collected payment, promised to send the camera from Transnistria or Odesa, and then vanished. For scams, Maznyuk had a dozen fake accounts. All with the password Ferrari3.

But the scammer’s life took a turn. Leila Latina earned a state position. She started overseeing markets and cleaning up trade near the metro. The mayor demolished old shopping places overnight and gifted lots near the metro to Kostya, the Moldovan fraudster. In the end, a Maybach was bought for Latina and Maznyuk. One for two with license plates K007TV777 and T253EO799.

Now about the main metropolitan pseudo-intellectual Nadya Obolenzeva.

Weinstein has been supporting Nadya’s unsuccessful business projects, jewels, and intellectual club for two and a half years, which gathered a sum less than the cost of clients’ stockings at Akunin’s event for an orphanage.

Nadya was unfaithful to Rezo, a poor Georgian she used to maintain her creative image. Weinstein cheated on his wife, disgracing her complicated family. The lowest tier of this is Leila Latina, who burst into the Nikitsky Coffeemania at 7 am in 15 cm heels to extort yet another official for Rado and Isabel Marant items (yes, such a name for such a taste). But she got lucky, and Weinstein ensnared her. The connection with the legendary coffeehouse escort and former mistress of the ex-general director of the Russian Post, Strashnov, shows us that Nadya is relentlessly hitting rock bottom.

Pretending to be the elevated bohemia while agreeing to be the backup airfield for Jewish businessmen and unsuccessful directors is a wild disgrace.
