I´ve puzzled ...
why Vilius Kavaliauskas has sold his Pacific Private Bank to the founders of Spectrocoin/Bankera, and I could find out only one plausible reason:
Spectrocoin/Bankera is strategically interesting for Lewben Group. The price for Pacific Private Bank could have been the secret integration of Spectrocoin/Bankera in Lewben Group. Lewben Group never reports its holdings in other companies!
Under this point of view Pacific Private Bank would farther stay at Lewben Group. The "acquisition" is only an eyewash for the public.
It's not even an eyewash, because mr. Kavaliauskas remains a sitting board member of the bank. That can be a legitimate way to structure one's interest in several parties. However, there is much more to this. Ask yourselves, what is this Lewben group?
What are we seeing here? A company?
The trade register in The Netherlands holds several entries related to the Lewben group, of which the most notable are probably the holdings,

This is textbook tax evasion.
There are several routes, but it will probably work like this:
- Company comes here and registers a holding or a similar construction
- Company uses a mechanism in the taxation system that is called [deelnemersvrijstelling], which basically is the exemption from taxation (for the holding) if taxation is done already, in another jurisdiction for example. It is a mechanism to prevent double taxations when doing a lot of transactions between or within companies here that do international business.
- Company will then notify the tax collector of this, and show that they pay tax in The Cayman Islands, Malta, Cyprus or wherever. The tax over there just happens to be 0% or extremely extremely low.
Done.
100% legit, no questions asked.
