If you look up the actual Estonian LLC (OÜ) they use, it's owned by two guys with Russian sounding names, one living in Argentina (claims to be Byelorussian) and one living in UK (not much info on him online).
It's public info if you just look up the company name, so I'm not really doxing them.
Whether or not that's suspicious is up to you. Estonia does make it hella easy for anyone to register a company, you don't have to be a citizen, or even a real resident, you only have to be an e-resident I believe.
