The prosecutor’s office is conducting an investigation

15min reminds that the Contribee scandal started in mid-to-late August, after it became clear that the former manager Gediminas Ratkevičius was fired because he allegedly embezzled client funds and tried to present this action as a loan.

He became even more agitated when the company’s current manager and shareholder, Adrijas Jakučionis, stated that Andrias Tapinas, a public figure and the founder of Laisvės TV, was under pressure to sell the shares of the platform at too low a price, but the latter called it the director’s fantasies.

At that time, Skirmantas Malinauskas, a social activist who creates YouTube reviews, published a scandalous circumstance on the social network Facebook, how the former manager of Contribee actually “borrowed” money from the company. It was announced that he transferred the money from the account of the non-governmental organization “Blue/Yellow”..

Law enforcement is conducting a pre-trial investigation related to the crowdfunding platform Contribee.

The current director of Contribee and one of the shareholders and founders of the platform, A. Jakučionis, confirmed to BNS that a pre-trial investigation has been launched against one of the former managers of the platform, who possibly arbitrarily entered into a loan agreement with Contribee for his personal needs.

“One of the former managers, in violation of the internal procedures of the company (Contribee – BNS), arbitrarily entered into a loan agreement with the company for his personal needs (…). The former manager was immediately dismissed from his position due to this incident,” said A. Jakučionis in a letter sent to content creators on Tuesday, which is in the possession of BNS.

He indicated that due to these actions of the manager, Contribee contacted the law enforcement, and a pre-trial investigation is currently underway. When this information came to light, the suspect was required to return the money, which he did, and no one was harmed.

The minutes of the board meeting of December 19, 2023 submitted to Contribee’s Registry Center indicate that at that time Gediminas Ratkevičius was removed from the position of director of the company, and Mantas Michalauskas, one of the founders of the platform, was appointed in his place.

Later, at the board meeting on February 20 of this year, it was decided to remove M. Michalauskas from the position of director of Contribee, replacing him with the current manager A. Jakučioni.
