As a result, by March 2022, the organization was taken under surveillance (on March 18, the court issued a ruling).

In April, the news portal v1.ru I reported suspicions of fraud that arose to the director of the cooperative Mikhail Lymarev. The man was detained. It was reported that among the "victims" of the head there were more than a thousand people, including a significant number of pensioners. In addition to SKPC VKB-Credit, he was also the director of another cooperative with a similar name.

It is known that one of the founders of the organization was the rector of a local university. As he told reporters, initially the cooperative was created as a "mutual assistance fund" and was aimed at working with teachers and university staff. Vashchenko ceased to be the founder of the cooperative more than 12 years ago.

The results of the next bankruptcy procedure will be announced in December 2022. According to the case file, the organization has accumulated 56.86 million rubles of debt to creditors of the first stage. VKB-Credit owes more than 13 million rubles to creditors of the second stage. Even more than 49.2 million is the debt of the third stage. This debt is not secured by collateral.
