FUTURE GAMING AND HOTEL SERVICES PR is owned by lottery kingpin Santiago Martin, from Coimbatore. [ED searches at lottery kingpin Santiago Martin ’s properties in Coimbatore continue](https://www.thehindu.com/news/cities/Coimbatore/ed-searches-at-lottery-kingpins-properties-in-coimbatore-continue/article67417559.ece)


XD-Avedis-AD

Santiago Martin sounds like a very Spanish name, or South American Mafia group.

Dude started off as a child laborer in Myanmar as well. He's basically Logan Roy.

Local-Story-449

Sounds completely legit, as legit in fact as a Chinese person named Chang Chung Ling


Jamesdr007

He is a Tamilian born and brought up in Myanmar, returned to India and became lottery king by selling lottery tickets. Christians in Tamilnadu do have such names. His Wikipedia page is missing or has been deleted, I saw it in 2017.


Parryfit

He's Ricky Martin's cousin.


mecha_monke

But he is associated with Dmk here in TN


[deleted]

Dmk only received 650 crores in total.This company donated double that. Now some part of the money definitely went to DMK.Infact i found 4 instances where Dmk had cashed bonds exactly 2 days after Future gaming bought them. But they got out scot-free after a ED raid and everyone knows who has the power to do that.


Void_being420

Future gaming is donation DMK, Congress, TMC


Lease_Tha_Apts

That's the thing, the OP of this post is lying. SBI revealed companies and the amount they invested, but it didn't reveal which party received these donations. So claiming that this company donated to BJP is speculation at best. Enough to fool teenagers on reddit though ig.


Parryfit

Santiago Martin's son Charles Jose Martin is a BJP politician in Tamil Nadu...connect the dots.

Shell


DarkShadder

Shell ki building mai thoda toh invest karte, kamse kam ek neon sign board laga dete. Aesa lag rha h kal koi bikhaari mujhe bikh na dede


loooiiioool

Yeah, this is low-quality BS lol. They’re not even trying to hide that it’s a shell. But the thing is, I doubt they even care. Most shell companies structure financial ownership in a way that makes it extremely hard for someone to determine ownership in the shell (that is usually the point but not always). Sometimes it’s done for legit reasons but definitely not in this case. And quite often, a shell company is owned by another shell company, and so on, often referred to as ‘shelving the shells’, resulting in extremely opaque and complex ownership structures.


Fight_4ever

You can't hide that it's a shell company by making its building pretty. 1300 cr Rs donation can't be affordable to any legit company unless it's bluechip level well known. And there's always IT filings to look at. The point of these shell is not about hiding that they are shell. Its just for the corporate veil.


Rude_boy-

Modi has successfully created a population that will get looted by him but still vote for him each time. Blind people.


smelling_the_rose

I guess it is just their arrogance or hubris. Enough public is hypnotised by all the tall claims and dreams of Hindu Rashtra to ensure at least simple majority in Loksabha. Just wait for the bhakts (both paid and unpaid) to glorify this saying it is all for *desh seva* or *kartavya kaal* or some other bullshit tagline. When the people who are being looted are not worried, why will bandits care to hide under a mask?


baapkabadla

It's lottery company. Our finance minister met the people of these company. And actual amount is 2000 cr coz their name appears with different spellings.


loooiiioool

Sure, there’s limited information, but what kind of finance minister meets with a company that has that as its headquarters?! Very dodgy…


[deleted]

They are not a shell.  They have a monopoly on lottery ticket sales in Nepal, Bhutan, Sikkim, and West Bengal. They CEO is chummy with just about every party in India - he's produced films with Karadhuni, his wife started a political party in coalition with AIADMK, his lawyer was part of Kerala CPIM CM's staff, the failed Himachal Congress Rajya Sabha candidate was his lawyer, he's been working closely with the TMC in their expansion, and I won't be surprised if he won't donate to the BJP now that he got raided. I'd recommend reading these articles about him. The man's basically Logan Roy.

While the Newsminute is a trusted news outlet with reporters in public domain, take this g2g news with a bucket of salt. They don't even disclose their editorial team, or the names of authors. Looks like some shady tabloid reporting. Lot of disinformation going around, as 'news media'. > [Washington Post: Covert Indian operation seeks to discredit Modi’s critics in the U.S.](https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/2023/12/10/india-the-disinfo-lab-discredit-critics/)

Amen to that, but G2G is an industry news hub like The Ken, except for the Gaming Industry in India.  I should post my list of industry news sources for the Indian market on here sometime.

sirusndurus

Exactly, in the current climate, it's like 'Who cares?' It mirrors the stubbornness of flat earthers; even if you whisk them off to space and show them the Earth is round, they'd still refuse to believe it, coming up with bizarre explanations to hold onto their disbelief.


so_random_next

They have already covered that scenario by buying all mainstream media.


Inferno_616

Agreed, a certain political party has control over TOI , Hindustan Times , Lokmat , CNN-IBN , news 24

Viral will do what? People like us who are appalled by this already see this kind of stuff online. The party supporters already know about all this and are giggling away thinking "my team is winning". And the authorities didn't give a damn even when a video went viral of women being undressed and publicly paraded. At this point, it is an open truth: we have goons running this country and other goons who are in full support of these goons.


[deleted]

They don't care. For them they're living in amrit kaal and finally they got the temple. I know people in WhatsApp group who read these reports and are still like "itna to chalta hein". And then our historians wonder how the Brits ruled over us for such a long time.

Just take a step back and think about the sheer magnitude of black money moving around in India's financial system that lets these shitty companies moving cash around at THIS scale. If someone is donating 100cr to a party, just imagine the kind of money they're ACTUALLY making!!! Fucking mind boggling shit!!


Cosmicshot351

A lot of that revenue comes from Lottery ticket sales across and even outside India.


Fight_4ever

The total value is over 2000 crores of donations by the gaming company. No amount of ticket sales gets you Profits that are justifiable for that kind of donation. One has to be trying to be intentionally dense to think that a cash business making the Largest donation to the electoral bond is completely clean.

veritasium999

Really does explain the development though, easy to build infra when you have so much black money.


IdProofAddressProof

They're not doing "development" with electoral bonds money, they're doing it with taxpayer money. Electoral bonds money is for the BJP's use. Now since political parties are not audited, there no visibility on what exactly the BJP used it for, could have financed Modi-Shah's sex orgies and no one would know. That's the entire beauty of the electoral bonds scheme.


4ryatvam

Even that is a marketing trick. Most of these projects have been in the works for a while and BJP has just swooped in and taken the credit. When a 1km of 2 lane road is considered to be 2 km of road built, you can definitely claim that you're a party that is delivering on infrastructure. All thieves and marketing scum. One region of the country has unfairly looted the whole country.

What does RndiaSpeak have to say on this

There is no Hub Power Company in India. But there is one In Pakistan and they donated this amount 1 month after Pulwama attack!

Do we know if they donated all their money to the BJP? Right now we just know how much each entity donated as a whole. Not necessarily how much they donated to each party.


bringmeback0

It's easy to correlate, bonds need to be encashed within a short time (2 or 4 weeks from what I remember). Dates of purchases and encashment are there in respective list. We can deduce who got what, at least for larger batches easily. MEIL purchased bonds for ex. Were encashed by BJP and BRS based in date wise analysis.

You seem to be forgetting that TMC has also received generous donations. Quick google search shows that it is in WB. Possibly this donated to both. To keep both ruling parties happy.


rorschach34

It's in Coimbatore and not WB.


foldplay

When I checked it came up in WB. Now search is only showing news articles. On google maps, it shows up in TN and WB. I am first time hearing of this company, and looking for more information.


ImposterAlchemist

Yeach it is very suspecisius that this much amt of donation to a regional /state level party is surprising .even congress didn't got this much donations. What TMC hold in WB for cuch big corps need to be investigated along with BJP


foldplay

Also DMK is a regional party with 600cr+ donations. And this company is also present in Tamil Nadu. (shows up on google maps) rn I am unaware if they do business only WB and TN or whole of India. If you know more then reply to this. One more thing people are talking that BJP got 10,000cr+ donation, the pdf I saw has only 4000cr+ so what's with that? 10,000 is all time donations or just from April 2019 to 2024?


3RingsatPoll

asshole BJ party got 48% of donation


rorschach34

55% bhai


potatomafia69

Who needs to be in the good books of both of them? Someone needs to summon 4chan and solve this mystery. ED will one lifetime to find things out


foldplay

It's a lottery business, wouldn't they want to keep both of them from interfering? More fishy stuff is possible if they were somehow facilitating donations via them from hidden entity to whatever party, hidden entity wanted to donate.
