When Alyona Shevtsova took over the leadership of IBOX BANK, media reports highlighted that her efforts played a significant role in the bank’s impressive rise. By the end of the previous year, the bank had secured the eighth position among the most profitable banks in Ukraine, a notable achievement considering the ongoing conflict in the country.

Drug dealers selling drugs through "dead drops" have been accepting payments through iBox terminals for several years — it is now known why law enforcement agencies were aware of this but preferred not to intervene.

When the loud sounds of battles in the suburbs of Kyiv died down and it became clear that the country would continue to exist, the temporarily silent ‘schemers’ began to become active again.
