Some web history
Do you know the first Internet Bank in history?
It predates Netscape and was called the European Union Bank
Oddly it was established in money laundering HQ of the Caribbean, Antigua in July of 1994... 
The bank was backed by a million dollar investment from Mikhail Khodorovsky's Menatep Bank and was run by Alexander Konanikhine 
Kohnankhine hired a ton of ex_KGB as bank executives for his other bank Russian Exchange Bank
The first allowed to purchase foreign currency
To be fair folks did try to kidnap him a bunch
but oopsie, Kohnankhine "surprised" they were mafia money launderers.. so head to America
See Khodorovsky was an OG Semibankirschina. Menatep owned large stakes in evrything after the privatization money grab in russia. Yukos Oil being the biggest holding.
Kohnankhine's main job in US was to open Menatep branches
But all the regulators be like, You nucking futz?"
So Menatep gave Konanikhine a million to start EUB in Antigua. At time of founding, Konanikhine was the President and sole share holder.
fun history fact... bank was in Antigua all the servers were at the Willard Hotel in DC
also Command and Control center for Trump's coup
Three years after close to a billion dollars in money laundering EUB would just straight disappear
