Spread financial intelligence
In June 2022, the trials against some ringleaders of the cybercrime organization of Uwe Lenhoff, who died in prison, will start in Germany. The “old” B90 Holdings plc, which operated as Veltyco Group PLC at the time, was founded by Lenhoff and played an essential role in his scams. Since Lenhoff’s death in July 2020, some things have changed at B90 Holdings, while others have remained the same. CFO Marcel Noordeloos is still in place, and the Lenhoff partner Dirk-Jan Bakker is still one of the principal shareholders. In April 2021, Ronny Breivik was appointed as CEO; he is also one of the largest economic owners.

Ronny Breivik takes over
B90 CEO Ronny Breivik is also a shareholder of Malta-based Entercreation Ltd
Norwegian gambling veteran Ronny Ingvar Breivik has been appointed CEO of B90 Ventures Ltd, the operating subsidiary of the listed holding company. Breivik is also one of the shareholders of Entercreation Ltd in Malta, according to Offshore Leaks. From the latter, B90 Holdings acquired online gaming and sports betting venture Spinbookie at the end of 2021. The release did not mention that this was a transaction between related companies.
Until recently, Malta-based MGA-regulated Bet 90 Sports Limited was the operator of online sports betting and casino provider Bet90 (ww.bet90.com). Since the acquisition of Spinbookie, both are operated by Spintastic NV with a license in Curacao.
Over the last 18 months, a structural shift in the shareholder structure has apparently taken place due to the acquisitions of various businesses such as Spinbookie or Oddsen in the environment of CEO Ronny Breivik and the issue of shares to affiliate partners. In addition, there were also several capital increases or convertible loans to which new shareholders also subscribed. In addition, stock options were granted. The number of shares issued massively increased to almost 240 million.
Uwe Lenhoff's family is still a large shareholder in B90 Holdings
As of December 31, 2021, Dutch investor Paul Westerterp, Performance Media, and Dutch real estate investor Dirk-Jan Bakker (via Vancom Ltd and Diman BV) were the largest shareholders. If the shares of Entercreation, Performance Media, and Ronny Breivik are counted as one block, that is the largest shareholder and controls more than 16% of the company.
