Marlerino Group disappears from the market after deleting its website and social accounts

Marlerino Group, the media buying holding founded in 2015 by Vlad (Marlon) Garmash, has removed its website and wiped all posts from its Instagram, LinkedIn, and Telegram accounts. For high-risk operators and PSPs, the point is simple: when a traffic or acquisition partner goes dark without a statement, the operational and reputational questions arrive immediately.

  1. The company was founded in 2015 by Vlad (Marlon) Garmash and described as an international business. Its public footprint has now been stripped down to nothing: the website is gone, and the company’s Instagram, LinkedIn, and Telegram posts have been deleted.
  2. Before the disappearance, Marlerino Group made no official statement. Garmash’s own accounts also contain no explanation for the company’s removal from public view, so there is no published position on what triggered the move.
  3. In 2023, the Prosecutor General’s Office received a request to check Garmash’s income declarations and tax payments. That is not a trivial background detail when a business sits in media buying and has exposure to regulated verticals.
  4. In June 2025, searches were carried out at Marlerino Group, The One, and ZM offices in Moscow, St. Petersburg, and Yekaterinburg. Authorities suspected the companies and their founders of working with Ukrainian online casinos.
  5. After those searches, some employees on arbitration teams deleted their Telegram avatars and Telegram channels in an attempt to erase their digital trail. Public videos and podcasts featuring Marlerino Group representatives were also removed from public access.

For PSPs and acquirers, this is the kind of event that matters less as gossip and more as counterparty hygiene: if a partner’s public presence can vanish overnight, the first question is what else changed that nobody has yet explained.
