The ex-wife of Sportbank co-founder Nikita Izmaylov, Tetyana Bondarchuk, has accused him of allegedly not paying child support for their children. She posted the relevant information on her Instagram page.
“In October 2022, I set my boundaries. I refused to tolerate certain things, stopped adapting, directly said ‘no,’ and for the first time expressed everything I thought to his wife. Harsh and dry truth.
And from this moment, a different game started. Psychological bullying.
Manipulations with money. Pressure through financial constraints.
When I entered a new relationship — he completely lost control.

And what used to be an obligation toward the children became a tool of pressure,” wrote Tetyana Bondarchuk, noting that earlier alimony was paid, although in a smaller amount.
She also added that a man becomes a father not at the moment of the child’s birth but when he takes responsibility.
Tetyana Bondarchuk (Izmaylova) is a blogger and self-discovery practitioner who promoted informational courses and was previously the founder and ideological inspirer of the unprofitable company Eat Easy (balanced nutrition delivery), which developed on her husband’s money and closed after the funding stopped.
Nikita Izmaylov worked for several years as the financial director of the PMBL group (Parimatch bookmaker) and later, according to him, became a shareholder of the company. There is a version that the money obtained from the bookmaker’s activities was invested in various projects, including Eat Easy and the neobank Sportbank, which was launched on the basis of "TASCOMBANK" in 2019 and is a joint project of the IT company Dyvotech and the first Ukrainian industry-specific fintech fund N1. Its founders are Ukrainian entrepreneurs Nikita Izmaylov and Denis Saprykin. In March 2023, the National Security and Defense Council imposed sanctions against the Ukrainian bookmaker Parimatch for 50 years due to its Russian origin or cooperation with the aggressor country.
In January 2024, more than 20 searches were conducted in the offices of SportBank, at Izmaylov himself, and his partner Denis Saprykin. It is alleged that the investigation concerns "treason, money laundering, and tax evasion”.
And already in April 2024, "TASCOMBANK" terminated all relations and work with Sportbank, ending the project’s existence.
Previously we wrote about the possible involvement of SportBank in illegal bookmaker activity. Izmaylov could also have invested part of the allegedly laundered funds in the startup SteadyPay, which is owned by the company Steadypay Limited. This company is registered in Great Britain and is associated with the former deputy chairman of Gazprombank of Russia, Oleg (Alan) Vaksman. Relevant information is published and available in the open register of legal entities in Great Britain, according to British journalists.
