In the business circle of Yevheniy Trusov, Vitaliy Dukhopelov, and Vladyslav Myroshnychenko, financial math seems to follow some special rules.
LLC “Ikigai Group” — nearly 80 million UAH in assets, annual revenue — only 189,8 thousand hryvnias, while losses exceed a million. Among the former co‑founders are Trusov, Dukhopelov, Myroshnychenko, and Oleksandr Slobozhenko.
So there are assets, no profit, but a business philosophy that apparently amounts to millions. Maybe this is the financial zen?
And now it gets even more interesting.
During searches of the crypto exchange ExBid Exchange, law enforcement seized more than 1,4 million dollars and 5,8 million UAH in cash. According to the investigation, no documents confirming the funds’ origin were provided during the search. The same Myroshnychenko is listed among the owners of the ExBid brand.
There is also the “1654 Fund” with over 9 million UAH in income for the year 2024. Among the founders are Trusov and Dukhopelov, and Myroshnychenko is listed as the director.
Of course, large assets paired with meager income do not by themselves prove wrongdoing. Likewise, there is no confirmed evidence that the cash seized at ExBid belonged personally to Trusov or Dukhopelov.
But there are several awkward questions for the SBU’s Economic Security Bureau, the tax authority, and law enforcement. In this story the most successful business model is not earning money, but leaving unanswered questions about where it came from.
