Atir Raihan likes to flash his cash. Bald, bulky Raihan poses in personal photos with fine wine and cheese next to his grey feathered fedora. In another, he parties with semi-naked escorts in a nightclub while sipping liquor. A white powder and a crumpled note appear in a third. Rio de Janeiro, Bangkok, New York: this Pakistani born, British passport holding entrepreneur apparently enjoys his success.

Regardless, FlexiSpy has had some decent success, judging by company financial records and Raihan's lifestyle. Spreadsheets allegedly describing company expenditure mention a Mercedes-Benz and multiple BMWs, and one 2016 document suggests a sale volume of FlexiSpy products of over $400,000 per month. Another file, which appears to describe a possible sale of the company, values FlexiSpy at a perhaps unrealistic $20 million.Unsurprisingly, the company is apparently keen to hold on to as much of that cash as possible. A presentation audaciously named "offshore" shows how finances from FlexiSpy, registered in the Seychelles with Mossack Fonseca, the firm behind the Panama Papers, could be distributed."I am repulsed to think how much profit the company has made by blatantly marketing their product to abusers to facilitate criminal stalking in the past 11 years."
