> Mixit CEO Oleg Pai was detained in Moscow on September 19 and placed under house arrest on fraud charges. Co-founder Yelena Nazarova linked the case to a corporate dispute with former employee Galina Ryazanova, calling it pressure on the business and an attempt to seize control. Ryazanova says Pai promised her a 30% stake but later treated payments as loans and pursued her for more than eight million rubles.
