Allegations from Fired OctaPay Director Against Payment Processors

In recent developments, high-risk payment processor OctaPay has come under scrutiny. According to industry insiders, OctaPay may be linked to fraudulent operations, with allegations that the same beneficial owners are behind both OctaPay and iPayTotal.

Following a Request for Information submitted on December 8, 2020, OctaPay Europe’s CEO, Christian van Biezen (LinkedIn), was dismissed from his position. The company cited numerous instances of alleged misconduct, including serious accusations such as sexual harassment of colleagues and employees. Van Biezen, however, denies all charges and instead accuses OctaPay and iPayTotal of being fraudulent enterprises.

Christian van Biezen’s Statement

Van Biezen, who was based in Cyprus during his tenure at OctaPay Europe, issued the following statement regarding the situation:

“They definitely are [scams]. That’s why they pushed me out and offered me a position at the CY entity. Rebecca Baker is actually Rutchi Rathor, a false identity she uses across all communication channels—Skype, email, and contract signatures. The ‘investors’ behind iPayTotal are the same individuals funding OctaPay UK.
Everything is owned 100% by Mita, which is also a pseudonym. She even has multiple LinkedIn profiles under different aliases. They intended to use me, maybe even set me up to take the blame when they eventually fled with the funds. I figured it out too soon, and now they’re stalling by spreading lies because they fear exposure.
Several of my contacts have already alerted me, and the case is now being escalated to Visa and MasterCard. There’s a strong chance that Ruchi—who resides in Surrey—and other individuals will soon face official investigations.”

Key Accusations Raised

According to Van Biezen’s claims:

Ownership Overlap: Both OctaPay and iPayTotal are allegedly controlled by the same group.
False Identities: Individuals like “Rebecca Baker” and “Mita” are accused of operating under fake names.
Exit Strategy: Van Biezen believes he was positioned as a scapegoat for an eventual fraud exit.
Whistleblower Coordination: He claims to have forwarded evidence to Visa and MasterCard, expecting formal investigations.

Implications for Payment Industry

Van Biezen’s testimony echoes prior reports provided to Scam-Or Project by whistleblowers. He specifically names Rebecca Baker (believed to be Rutchi Rathor) and Mita (possibly Madmuhita Singh) as key figures behind the scenes. These individuals are allegedly involved in both OctaPay UK and iPayTotal, further fueling concerns over shared operations and coordinated misconduct.
