Representatives of Trust stated that in 2017 Rost-Bank made a loss-making deal to purchase 99.2% of United Trading House Yasenevo JSC from the Cypriot company Malarton Holdings Limited. The deal amounted to 22.7 billion rubles. At the same time, in its lawsuit, Trust claimed that the asset was worth 1 ruble.

In 2014, the Central Bank decided to reorganize Rost-Bank. Binbank was appointed as a sanator, and later Mikail Shishkhanov bought 100% of the shares of Rost-bank. In 2017, the Central Bank took both credit organizations for reorganization. A year later, Rost-Bank joined Trust, and in 2019 Binbank was merged with Otkritie.
