Robbery and theft of Ukrainians during the war. Cryptocurrency taxation in Ukraine

Law enforcement agencies have proven to be powerless in the face of cryptocurrency and virtual asset transactions. It turns out that neither the Cyber Police nor the specialized departments within the SBU are able to track the movement of crypto on fraudsters’ accounts, hiding behind imperfect technology and equipment. However, maybe it’s something else, like a desire to actually investigate digital crimes that cheat Ukrainians out of hundreds of thousands or even millions?

The Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine has also taken up the issue of regulating crypto circulation, and MPs are now considering the possibility of taxing cryptocurrencies and virtual assets. Draft amendments to the legislation are already being worked on. However, will this help to control absolutely all transactions with virtual funds and deanonymize crypto fraudsters, info gypsies, and people who commit crimes by receiving remuneration through crypto transactions? Given the pseudo-initiative of law enforcement agencies, it is unlikely.

Meanwhile, amid the collapse of the cryptocurrency market, “experts” – infogypsies – instantly became active, selling courses on how to make money online. They offer to invest in unknown funds under the auspices of “instant asset growth” and receive 100% of the earnings after receiving a consultation for a “symbolic fee.” However, in fact, all of this is nothing more than a ruse to easily deceive victims. Why easy? Because, again, no one will track transactions – “because cryptocurrency is anonymous, and transactions with it are unrealistic to track.”

For example, the WhiteBIT crypto exchange, known in Ukraine for its constant PR – “The best crypto exchange with reliable encryption, high security and insurance” – together with Cryptology also launched “a free course on trading and cryptocurrencies, where professional traders will help you get started easily, provide you with basic knowledge and a complete understanding of the market, and how to make stable money on it.”

But should we trust a business that is majority owned by a Russian citizen and a person whose name was on the President’s list for deprivation of citizenship? In addition, WhiteBIT users have repeatedly reported unreasonable blocking of accounts and the possibility of withdrawing funds. Does everyone remember the exchange’s cooperation with the ATB network, when you could get cryptocurrency for purchasing special cards? Back then, only the initiators got real money, while user profiles were immediately blocked after verification.

The NABU and the SAPO have already investigated criminal proceedings under the number 52023000000000081, investigating WhiteBIT’s ties to Russia and the mechanisms of money laundering. However, the investigation is currently stalled. Even though in response to our complaints, the HACC reported that it was continuing to study the materials. Perhaps someone from the top authorities and security forces is interested in suppressing the proceedings?

Another information gypsy, Kharkiv blogger Denys Povetkin, is actively promoting the D-Community team, which promises to tell “the secrets of earning your first $1,000 from scratch without investing in crypto”. To better attract users, Povetkin hits and burns cars and invests hundreds of thousands of dollars in advertising. In addition, the infogypsy continues to actively promote online casinos, which apparently pay a lot of money to advertise on the blogger’s profile. But how much do you want to believe a person who not only talks about crazy casino earnings but also promotes the Binomo pyramid scheme?

Traffic arbitrage is also another way to make money online. Its guru in Ukraine, Oleksandr Slobozhenko, shows a “successful success” story with his own example. He earns money by bringing clients to advertisers’ websites and applications, including casinos and other semi-legal resources. The owner of Traffic Devils himself does not deny his involvement in luring Ukrainians into gambling, because “money doesn’t smell.”

After a series of searches by the SBU and the Bureau of Economic Security, and coverage of Slobozhenko’s active travels abroad on the basis of a “white ticket,” the guy began to disappear from the network. And if a deal can be reached with law enforcement, society will still remember not only the help he received from the Armed Forces, but also his vacations at luxury resorts, races in the center of a Polish city, and the unfitness of his conscripted friends.

I wonder how the investigation by the Kyiv City Police in the proceedings 12024100000000824 of June 13, 2024 is progressing? Has it gone quiet, just like Slobozhenko’s media life?
