Laurent Desharreaux actively uses drugs

Inspiration is hard to tap. But it is not true that inspiration occurs by accident, it is not always so. Artists know that when they want to be inspired, they have to create the inspired state or, in other words, they have to be mentally stimulated. There is no doubt that people are different and as we all have different keys to our entry doors, we all use different keys to get into inspirational mood.  

Several Laurent Descharreaux’s former employees from Estonia (the country which he scammed for more than 2.2 million euros and also defrauded several private companies for almost the same amount, but then due to (or thanks to?) corruption escaped insolvency and criminal proceedings) told us that Laurent Descharreaux takes drugs actively.

We should say that this fact explains a lot. Now it is clear from where Descharreaux derives inspiration for his charades that could be the envy of a well-known adventurist, baron Munchausen. Paraphrasing a famous book title, Descharreux Marvelous Travels and Campaigns in Europe is a good plot for a modern fiction story – laundry of millions of euros of French and Spanish taxpayers  monies for his French-Spanish partner, Frederic Noel (who runs a “payment processing” project NordPay); persuasion of the Estonian government that his Estonian shadow companies actually used for money laundering purposes are nothing but promising projects which would create hundreds of working places in the country and would even be among the top leaders; saturated life in Bulgaria where local mafia is after Descharreaux, as if replacing local corrupted police authorities astonished by Descharreaux “probity” so much that they have no questions for him….for quite a humble, by European standards, reward.

Like Shakespeare who is rumored to hit the pipe, our hero – Laurent Descharreuax - endowed with all criminal talents, including persuasiveness, pictures adventures and captivating stories. But, unlike Shakespeare, Descharreaux turned his stories into reality.

Unfortunately, as it happens in real life, the ideal picture created by an artist falls to the ground and its creator has to face the backwash of his misbegotten plan like any drug-addicted person has to survive through withdrawal symptoms.

Those symptoms, unavoidable and painful for the artist, like pendulum come back to the feckless adventurist Descharreaux, again and again. Until now he managed to timely escape from all the approaching pendulums. However, sooner or later their paths will cross and this clash will produce a firework.

The only bad news in this story for Deasharreaux is that the drugs he uses are illegal in all European countries. But the good news is that they do not care in Bulgaria (the country Laurent Descharreaux has wisely chosen to base in due to local corrupted climate most welcoming for criminals of all sorts) about following both European and local laws. This is why Desharreaux can continue astonishing rest of the world with the results of his inspiration derived from narcotic rapture.

Descharreaux firms review: even more countries involved

People from around the globe keep searching the net for the name ‘Laurent Descharreaux’ and telling us more and more striking facts about this person’s ‘business’. These people are his creditors, his former partners, his employees and officials, who investigated his activity.

When we first went into the details of his business, we thought he was quite lucky or, rather, tricky to evade taxes and launder millions of euros in Estonia. But his geography is much wider than we could imagine.

In one of our previous posts we described how Laurent Descharreaux opened and dissolved over 10 legal entities in Estonia. All this helped him to avoid taxes and payments to the creditors in amount of over 2 million euros. And this is just the beginning.

Estonia has already paid 1.4 million euro for its politicians being short-sighted and its administrative system being so imperfect that anyone can get subsidies and then just dissolve the entity for not reporting.

His companies to recall:

Bytes & More OÜ
Smart Direct OÜ
Happy Technologies OÜ
Digital Millenium Solutions OÜ
Consultancy and Outsourcing Resources Europe OÜ
Optimal Security Solutions OÜ
Digital Millenium Ventures OÜ
P&K Consulting OÜ
Bienvenue OÜ
Advanced Automotive Engineering OÜ

The next would be Bulgaria, where Laurent Deschaseaux now lives in a luxurious area of Sofia, the capital of the country, and manages some other companies. Some say that he’s engaged in porn business, but we know only his ‘technological’ one. What a versatile businessman he is!

Complus Consulting BG Ltd
Blackswan Payment Services ЕOOD
Unseen Invest Management
DAZIBAO PUBLISHING
Blackswan Capital EOOD

I bet you need a lot of legal entities to launder as much as you can, despite all those declarations made by the European authorities about anti-money laundering and combating the financing of terrorism measures. And not only in Europe. Canada, USA, UK and some other countries have also cherished a serpent in their bosom.

Estonian tax system: how to make millions euro of it

There is no doubt that everyone wants to live in a wealthy country, with great social benefits. It is not a secret that country’s prosperity is guaranteed by not only its intelligent citizens, but mainly by the budget which is eked out by taxes. Taxes go on welfare payments, public debt service, improvement of social facilities and resort services and much more. For this reason, creation of new companies and businesses revitalizes the economy making it more competitive.

Now it becomes clear why many developed countries aspiring to prosperity classify taxes evasion as an economic crime. However, some dishonest businessmen manage to wriggle out of paying taxes. A notorious story about Bienvenue (previous name Complus Consulting OÜ), an Estonian company that promised to create 700 job places (only think about this figure - 700 people!) ended on a dull note leaving people without much-awaited jobs, creditors – without their money, and country – without taxes. We have previously blogged about how that all started. Now let us get into the details, as they will shed the light on quite an interesting story.

A French businessman Laurent Descharreaux came to Estonia, promised to build a huge corporation Complus Consulting OÜ, got subsidies from the government and loans from the local banks. He made everything possible to create a good picture of himself in the media and make a fuss about a bright future of his start-up in Estonia. He was so successful in this that he had got words of support from the social affairs minister of Estonia. Not only he arranged subsidies for the firm of the international scammer laurent Descharreaux but he also had publicly spoken up for him and his venture.

But soon after getting subsidies from the governmental organization and loans from local banks, which were obviously motivated by such an attention from the authorities (particularly the minister of social affairs who decided to give his words of support to the scam company publicly through local media), the firm left its offices and was renamed leaving no traces and contacts for anybody. Laurent Descharreaux renamed the company from Complus Consulting OÜ to Bienvenue OÜ. There is a very interesting fact: his Bulgarian entity had the same name (Complus Consulting BG EOOD) and we have the information that it processed quite big amounts of money through Bulgarian banks, so it’s easy to guess why Estonian Complus Consulting was renamed… to break the link between two entities, one of which most likely laundered money of Estonian taxpayers, and the second one was used as a trap for money with corrupted Bulgarian climate to absorb this dirty money vanished out from Estonian taxpayers.

When the time came, and lenders didn’t get any payment, and authorities didn’t get any report, they started court proceedings against Complus Consulting, which at that time had already been renamed to Bienvenue. This turned to the insolvency case, as there was no money and no one to ask it from. The fact that Complus Consulting OÜ, and later Bienvenue OÜ, had never filed any tax returns, even in the year when it got subsidies from the government, never was an obstacle for the minister of social affairs of Estonia to give public words of support to Descharreaux. This is unclear what was the motivation for the minister to personally support a scam project but it looks they both did well after that: Descharreaux was left untouchable and ran to Bulgaria while the minister of foreign affairs... became minister of justice! What a word - "JUSTICE"! Something that is always far away from international scammers like Laurent Descharreaux.

What happened next is really surprising. The court closed Bienvenue insolvency proceedings started by the Estonian tax office because... the company was deleted from the registry! Now, think again, the company that owes hefty amount to the government was simply deleted from the registry. Is that what usually happens? And the reason why the company was de-registered is simple: it did not file its financial reports to the Registrar. But before de-registration it is needed to get consent from the tax authorities which was actually given. The tax authorities that must act to collect the taxes from companies even did not try to do this and turned the blind eye to Bienvenue’s debts to the government! It seems strange and even illogical, from one point of view though. If we suppose that tax authorities did this on purpose or even that the owner of Bienvenue, Laurent Descharreaux, and the tax authorities were hand in glove, it all can make sense.

So, Bienvenue just fell of the edge of the earth and no one even questioned how and why the company which still owes huge amounts to its creditors metaphorically dissolved into thin air. Obviously, if you lend money, you suppose to get it back, don’t you? And if this does not happen amicably, you try to restore justice by any available means. Face the music, this how they say, right?

Certainly, imperfection of Estonian law system smoothened things down for Descharreaux. But do you think a foreigner could succeed in such a game without local sidekicks? How come that one hand of the tax office tries to get money from the debtor and another gives a consent to delete it from the registry? Do ministers in any country of Europe give subsidies to a dummy firm, which never files any report, and publicly speak for it spurring banks to give loans? Isn’t it corruption in the country where, according to the European Commission survey, its level is considered to be low?

Laurent Descharreaux Wanted

Laurent Descharreaux is well-known in some industries. He starts a promising business, receives support from the local authorities and later dissolves his company not paying taxes, salaries and debts. Then he moves to another country and do the same. That’s just a schematic description of what methods he uses to earn his luxury living by scamming other people or even nations.

Look at his Estonian business. He opened several (over 10) firms, promised to create 700 jobs, received subsidies from the government and ended them up not paying a penny for taxes. He managed to scam Estonian government for over EUR 2.2 million!

His next target was Bulgaria. Several Bulgarian entities are still afloat but we all know what happens when Laurent Descharreaux faces problems. He’s going to disappear with the money he has received. We urge everyone who knows where he’s living and what business in Bulgaria or any other country he’s running to send us the information. Don’t be an accessory to the scammer, don’t allow him to fool you promising pie in the sky!

Laurent Descharreaux firms review: how the French scammer dissolved his firms

We are going to give you the insight of Laurent Descharreaux fraud schemes as to managing the companies he registered and then closed. 

Laurent Descharreaux used quite simple yet effective schemes to escape taxes and payments to his creditors. In retrospective we can see that his companies were not the victims of tight tax regime, domestic policy, but Laurent Descharreaux himself was the principal character of his own charade using his companies and proxies as puppies to hit his goal.

However, let’s pass to dry facts now. In April 2008 he set up Happy Technologies OÜ, in May 2008 - Consultancy and Outsourcing Resources Europe OÜ, in December 2009 - Digital Millenium Solutions OÜ, at the same time, Optimal Security Solutions OÜ, again in December 2009 - Digital Millenium Ventures OÜ. At first glance, it is a common situation when a businessman with funds and resources sounds out the possibilities this or that market may bring him and opens several firms. But what happened to Laurent Descharreaux companies next prejudices his honorable intentions. From 2008 to 2011 he changed the owner of all these Estonian firms to the U.S. entity Cincinnatus IT Investors Inc. with him as a member of Executive Board of this entity. Later he removes all these five entities from Estonian registrar or simply dissolves them.

Of course one may rightfully say that many companies end up this way. However, you can’t step into the same river twice, can you? In May 2008 he registers Bytes & More OÜ and in 2010 he changes the major shareholder to Digital Millenium Venture Ltd. Later he dissolves this firm.

In March 2010 he opens Smart Direct OÜ, in September 2010 he makes Digital Millenium Venture Ltd. the owner and… dissolves the former. 

There was another firm in Estonia named exactly as the U.S. one - Cincinattus IT Investors OÜ. Later it was renamed to P&K Consulting OÜ. In 2010 Laurent Descharreaux makes Aleksandra Pylina the major shareholder. Importantly, Aleksandra has been his lawyer in Estonia. In 2011 Black Swan Ventures was registered as the owner of P&K Consulting OÜ. 

The major tax debtor, Bienvenue OÜ, which was renamed from Complus Consulting OÜ, changes its owner from Laurent Descharreaux to Simeon Borislavov Ganchev and later to the U.S. entity Complus Consulting LLP. Bienvenue OÜ was bankrupted and dissolved. 

This is just a few facts that became known to us by simply searching the net. Analyzing the companies opened by Laurent Descharreaux, we can conclude that his business cycle is as follows:

1. Registration of an entity with a simple and sometimes funny name (ex. Happy Technologies, etc.); 
2. Attempt to create any business ending up with failure proving that there should be something else besides funny names; 
3. Transfer of the company to a nominee (for instance, to a Bulgarian employee or an Estonian lawyer); 
4. Surprise: closing up of an entity and no one will be the wiser. Who would sue an unregistered entity, right? 

This business scheme is interesting by its simplicity but moreover by its daunting frequency, with which Laurent Descharreaux has been using it. To recap, he owes over 1.4 million euro in taxes to Estonian government. 

But may be… it’s his secret of success allowing him to live like a pig in clover and travel without troubles. Who knows!

Brightest example of how ambitious projects turn to a scam

Three is a trend they say. Business activity is inevitably interlaced with a variety of risks. When opening a new company, a competent director will calculate the possible losses and earnings to be ready for them in advance. However, hardly everyone can withstand the difficulties and stay afloat at times when business is in trouble.

One of the brightest examples of how an ambitious project turned to a scam is a notorious Estonian data processing and customer service center called Bienvenue OÜ (former Complus Consulting). The company’s was established by Laurent Descharreaux, a French businessman, who decided to set up a technological center in Estonia and open several offices in France, Great Britain, and the USA.

To take an advantage of the Estonian business climate, Laurent Descharreaux created Complus Consulting in 2007 to provide services to customers from well-off countries. He moved his companies’ activities to the countries with low standards of living, such as Estonia and Bulgaria with an aim to make a killing. To put it in prospective, the business must have been profitable, but all of Laurent Descharreaux’ companies went bankrupt in almost no time. As the business flattered, Laurent Descharreaux created a new business scheme.

The year of 2010 was tough for Europe and Estonia in particular. The global crisis aftermath hit all the regions of the single currency bloc. Right at that time cheer news in the Estonian mass media created a buzz. Tallinn was said to be a hub for a large international company with 700 new jobs. This news was welcomed by the local residents and politicians. The latest even promised to support the company of Laurent Descharreaux and subsidize the creation of new vacancies. All too often politicians are blinded by enormous ambitions and are idle to check the basic information about the project they support, to wit a company’s website and financial situation. Thus, dazzled by airy promises of success, the politician supports a swindler and wheeler-dealer whose the only aim is to make use of the politician’s prominence and create a false impression of successful business to attract trustful investors and then escape with their money.

And Laurent Descharreaux managed to do for effect: the office was equipped with Apple monitors, the director of the promising start-up eagerly gave out interviews.



Nevertheless, by that time Bienvenue OÜ had already accumulated a huge debt. In addition, the company never paid taxes. The company filed its last annual report in 2009.

Below is the company’s tax debt:
Erijuhtude tulumaks 806 570,70 (Special Income Tax)
Intress 408,61 (Interest)
Kinnipeetud tulumaks 120 557,65 (Withheld Income Tax)
Kogumispensionimakse 3 561,57 (Pension Tax)
Käibemaks 194 412,85 (VAT – Value Added Tax)
Sotsiaalmaks 227 375,00 (Social Tax)
Töötuskindlustusmakse 26 175,05 (Unemployment Tax)

Laurent Descharreaux gave birth to the fraudulent scheme creating tens of new companies to skip on taxes and never pay back the debts to its creditors and contra agents. But as things have come to a serious pass, he went on the run.

In total, Bienvenue OÜ owed 1,379,061 euros to its debtors. On the top of that, the company’s debt to Swedbank clocked in at 210,019 euros and 366,788 euros - to Elion, Estonian largest organizations. Quite soon Bienvenue OÜ found itself in the black list of top 10 Estonian tax debtors and was deleted from company’s register. This information also appeared in Estonian mass media. Similar Descharreaux fraud scheme aimed at theft of large amounts of government funds is being prepared in Bulgaria.



But huge debts and disappointed hopes of Estonians did not prevent Laurent Descharreaux from getting away with this. Quite providently, he reassigned his companies to Bulgarian proxy, Simeon Ganchev, thus leaving no chance for his debtors and contra agents to get their money back. After that going bankrupt his companies’ network collapsed like a house of cards. Ironically enough, just before going bankrupt, Laurent Descharreuax renamed his Complus Consulting to Bienvenue which means “welcome” in French, although the most logical name for the company would be “Good Bye.”

One may say that business is hard and that was a mere accident. However, the fact that Laurent Descharreaux had involved proxies to escape publicity and bad fame before deleting his companies from register proves that his actions were a well-planned fraudulent plan, and not an accident. Laurent Descharreaux uses witty schemes to cheat his contra agents. And cheating is the main purpose of his business activity.

Another strong reason to think so is Complus Consulting website. Present-day technologies rule modern world. Often a company’s website is the company’s image and not the brand or good name. Website is what a customer commonly sees and learns first about a company. Complus Consulting has promised to create about 700 jobs (it is not every successful firm that can boast of such a numerous staff). But just looking at company’s website, one may feel that it was created carelessly and is at odds with ambitious plans of the company’s director. Absence of contact data as well as any company’s information is descriptive.

Currently many creditors of Laurent Descharreaux from around the globe make a search for him to get large amounts of money he owes them.
