Culper alleges that its research "exposes this grave deception: we believe not only do Kaspi's relationships with Russian partners permeate every segment of the business, but in the wake of Russia's February 2022 invasion of Ukraine and into 2024, Russia has contributed materially to Kaspi's reported growth."

Further, Culper alleged that "Kaspi's history of shadowy dealmaking, which raises not only related party and self-dealing concerns, but also exposes the Company's vast, longstanding ties to bad actors including sanctioned oligarchs and Russian mobsters."
