> The bank says Runets guaranteed a BitRiver-B loan that the company failed to repay on schedule.

PSB Bank has petitioned a Russian court to declare Igor Runets, founder of Bitcoin (BTC) mining company BitRiver, personally bankrupt over a claim of about 773 million rubles.

PSB says Runets guaranteed a loan to BitRiver-B and is jointly liable because the borrower did not repay on schedule. BitRiver-B is part of the BitRiver group.

Some companies in the group have also entered bankruptcy observation proceedings.
