How Ukrainian scammer Aleksandr Slobozhenko cons Europeans out of millions through criminal networks
The Ukrainian media landscape has been buzzing over Oleksandr Slobozhenko, a young, wealthy entrepreneur and public personality who, at just 24, proudly flaunts his success and lavish lifestyle.
No wonder. Slobozhenko has a lot to show. His weekdays are luxury sports cars, luxury real estate, dream vacations, and so on. At the same time, sad news about the loss of our Defenders, who are doing everything possible and impossible in hellish conditions, so that the enemy does not break through further, arrives in Ukraine every day. While conscripts are forcibly taken to the army directly from the streets, and the State Border Guard Service, together with the SSU, reports almost every day on the exposure of a new scheme for people of conscription age to go abroad, Slobozhenko does not get out of expensive resorts. Apparently, the state authorities simply do not notice that a 24-year-old healthy young man travels abroad from Ukraine without any problems. Is it possible that he is a volunteer and included in the "Shlyakh" program? We doubt it, because the trunk of the Ferrari, which Slobozhenko highlighted on Instagram, can accommodate a maximum of a small bag.
In the previous article , we revealed who Oleksandr Slobozhenko really is — he started with a small scam related to trading in online games and achieved amazing results. Currently, he is a large buyer of wholesale advertising slots on the Internet. And as before, Slobozhenko’s business is in the illegal sphere.
Fraud as the main source of capital
All the beautiful pictures created by a young multimillionaire on Instagram are the result of numerous scams. The most interesting thing is that in one of his interviews, Slobozhenko himself admitted that he earns money in a far from honest way.

As he himself states in the video: "Any scam (scam or fraud on the Internet) - the trade in weapons and drugs brings him huge money."
It may sound like a joke to a 24-year-old young man, but in real life, his way of making money is a serious crime. Our investigation led to the fact that during the monitoring of open sources and registers, we discovered that Slobozhenko’s activities have all the signs of several crimes, the punishment for which is provided by Art. 190 ("fraud") and 212 ("tax evasion") of the Criminal Code of Ukraine. But first things first.
How the business is organized
We are currently actively searching for Slobozhenko’s beneficiaries. It’s very important, and here’s why.

The hero of our material is the founder of Traffic Devils. Then we could use many obscure words like media buying, traffic arbitrage, gambling, and others. But let’s try to explain simply how Slobozhenko’s business works.

His company buys a huge amount of advertising on various popular websites. The amount of contracts can reach millions of dollars. Since the "buying" is done in bulk, the price for this advertisement is at the bottom of the market. Next, Slobozhenko’s company offers the same retail advertising slots with a huge markup. It is mainly bought either by clickbait sites (probably you often see advertisements on how to cure an incurable disease with one drug), or online casinos and other semi-legal divorces.
As a result, Slobozhenko’s business receives funds not only for the sale of space for advertising but also for each transition to the site. There is a separate bonus: if the person who went to the page, for example, bought the advertised drug or played in a casino and lost (as is often the case), Slobozhenko receives his percentage. The bonus is still the main source of income for a fake entrepreneur.
If you study the website "Traffic Devils", the following immediately strikes you: a typical example of modern infogypsyism or the second breath of the "MMM" pyramid in the spirit of the 21st century.
"Dough", "Rolexes", "whips", "cribs", etc. are stuck everywhere. That is, the company directly lures you in. And if you believe everything that is written on their page, today you are nobody, and tomorrow, thanks to ’’Traffick Devils’’, you will live in the best traditions of oligarchs. Of course not, it doesn’t work like that.
In fact, tens of thousands of people around the world curse Slobozhenko and his business. Why does this happen? Everything is very simple. Their schemes hurt people. The main market that brings most of the profit is Europe. Slobozhenko’s company advertises there about miracle drugs that can cure, for example, cancer. People immediately follow the link and buy their salvation. At best, they get vitamins. At worst, drugs that do not cure, but on the contrary can harm. And Slobozhenko, in turn, receives millions from human misfortune.
The mysterious beneficiary
The company "Traffic Devils" was established in 2019. This is evidenced by both the information on their website and numerous interviews with the father of the project. That is what Oleksandr Slobozhenko calls himself.

In addition to "dad", "Traffic Devils" also has a mom. She has Viktoriia Tykhachova (Kolesnyk). Not much is known about her. She was born and raised in the Ivano-Frankivsk region. After the foundation of Traffic Devils, she got a job as a buyer (ordinary manager), but very quickly rose to management. Tykhachova is 2 years older than the founder of the company, and is allegedly the CEO (director) of "Traffic Devils". Why "allegedly"? The answer is simple: the company is not registered in Ukraine. I mean, not at all. All the multimillion-dollar revenue and profits go to black money.

Slobozhenko’s company does not pay any taxes and in no way participates in the life of our country in such a difficult time.
It turns out that Tykhachova manages a fake enterprise that does not exist on paper. The only thing against Tykhachova is that in 2020, executive proceedings were opened against her, which are currently closed.

She has never been involved with any company in her lifetime, nor has she ever been a private entrepreneur. The naked eye can see that Slobozhenko and his friends are involved in tax evasion and fraud. In addition, they conduct illegal business activities, which is an administrative offense.
But he somehow manages to avoid punishment. Someone very serious is behind the activities of the young multimillionaire.
