"Arthur Grant used to be a powerful figure, a respected businessman, and even the 'King of Duty-Free Smuggling.' However, that is all in the past. Today, his authority has diminished almost to zero, and the heads of Arthur Gurgenovich's businesses are openly embarrassed by his presence, even attempting to prove in court that the Grant surname harms their reputation. With such a statement, the hired director of the online casino Vbet, Alexander Blokhin, has filed a lawsuit against me regarding the business reputation of the casino," the journalist reports.

The investigator also provided a quote from the lawsuit.

“There are no connections with the Belarusian businessman Arthur Grant; LLC 'VBET UKRAINE' has no ties to him. This information is false and harms the business reputation of the company,” the lawsuit states

"Can you imagine the level of authority that Arthur Grant has at vBet and the attitude of the hired manager Alexander Blokhin towards him? And this is despite the fact that Blokhin is not a stranger to Grant, but one of his systemic and supporting managers, who before Vbet was the director of the legal entity of Forbes magazine, LLC 'Imagine!', owned by the same Arthur Grant. In 2022, on the very day when the Armenian founders of the casino, the Badalyan brothers, transferred it to the Armenian nobody Rudolf Poghosyan. However, everyone in the market says that the actual owner became Arthur Grant. But it seems that at some point, Blokhin became embarrassed to deal with Grant and decided that the surname of the real owner negatively affects the company. The situation is absurd, but it’s a fact. Maybe they don’t even let him into their offices? Or perhaps they no longer pay dividends? Who knows… And yes, the court denied Vbet's request, so it is safe to tarnish Vbet's reputation by calling their owner Arthur Grant. According to the court's decision, this information is accurate. Just like the withdrawal of funds through the Russian 'Diamond Pay'),” writes Evgeny Plinsky.
