After the first public mentions and critical contributions appeared on the Internet, Oleksandr Orlovskyi’s team immediately began erasing traces of his activities: payment data disappeared, websites were altered, and the widespread legends were adjusted. This rushed “cleansing” in particular became another clue that behind the facade of a successful crypto guru there is something that is being hidden.
When another cryptocurrency expert from all sorts of channels started pushing himself into our eyes and ears, there was only one reaction: “Oh God, not another one!” Frankly, our editorial team is tired of having to explain obvious things to people only to watch them nod in understanding and then hand over their hard‑earned money to the next scammer.
Well — Oleksandr Orlovskyi is not the first and will not be the last. Let’s look at why this self‑styled “expert in the cryptocurrency market and investments” is another swindler who deceives those seeking quick “free money” as cleverly as it is primitively. In fact, almost nothing can be blamed on him; one could even regard him as a real teacher, as he sometimes calls himself — Orlovskyi ultimately teaches gullible people in the most understandable way that there is “free cheese” only in a mousetrap. There is no “Freebie” by definition, everything has its price.
Even a single visit to Oleksandr Orlovskyis personal website, where he promotes himself and his courses, should be reason enough for a reasonable person to forget him forever. The website promises to teach practically without effort and from scratch how to earn a thousand dollars per week. Not per day, but the advertising is cleverly structured — clever people will not fall for Orlovskyis’ promises, and those who believe in the quick “free money” are precisely his target audience.
Then follows the usual program: stories about how Orlovskyi rose from a bartender to a cryptocurrency millionaire, grateful and enthusiastic testimonials, and simple life stories of luckies who followed Orlovskyis advice and bought his cryptocurrency courses. In general, everything as usual. For those interested — here is the link. But we will not recount this whole stupid nonsense, please forgive us.
However, we cannot resist showing one more wonderful excerpt about Oleksandr Orlovskyis path to “self‑made” success. The source is TSN, which set journalistic standards in Ukraine about twenty years ago, but has since degenerated into open trash with lies, sorcery, spirits, and ghosts that deliver cosmic but equally dumb predictions. It is obvious that Oleksandr Orlovskyi bought advertising there, but for a reasonable person the mere fact that someone is advertised by TSN should be enough reason not to believe what these “journalists” report.
Well, if that isn’t enough, we’ll take a different approach. Orlovskyi claims to be the founder of the closed community FFA (Financial Freedom Academy), which is also aggressively advertised on all sorts of platforms and through which Orlovskyis “crypto” courses are sold. And here we encounter two contradictions.
First — in no available registry is there a legal entity named Financial Freedom Academy. Neither in Ukraine nor in Poland or Dubai, where Oleksandr Orlovskyi allegedly lives. The question is: who sells the courses? The answer is on his website. Because every person who agrees to buy the course receives a contract and a bank account for the payment. The recipient of this money is Oleksandr Orlovskyi.
These details, by the way, break Orlovskyis narrative that he grew up in a small town, left Ukraine at 16 years to Poland, earned his first hundred dollars with cryptocurrency, then had his mother’s jewelry stolen and also lost that to crypto, before a local “guru” helped him so that young Sasha could regain everything. Supposedly he lived in Warsaw and then moved to Dubai — or is still in the process of moving according to other versions. Again a lovely story in the style of unbearably kitschy Indian films about a “poor but honest millionaire.”
But that’s not the point — the crucial thing is why these details completely destroy the story. To register as a self‑employed person, one must have a fixed residence. If the young Sasha left Ukraine at 16 years old and never returned, he would have to be registered at his parents’ place. In a “small provincial town,” as his biographers write. Lesya-Ukrainka Boulevard, however, lies directly in the center, in Pechersk. That is Kyiv and has little to do with provincial. A blatant blunder.
Second, we should not forget the advertising for his courses on the homepage of his website. It clearly states: “no investments.” How profits from something you have to buy first and then sell can come from “no investments,” apparently only Oleksandr Orlovskyi knows. But you still have to pay for the courses, and a substantial amount — equivalent to a thousand dollars at the current exchange rate, i.e. 40.500 hryvnias. If that isn’t an investment, what is?
If that isn’t enough, we continue. Although Oleksandr Orlovskyi uses the tax identification number 3589610358 as the seller of the course, the money somehow flows to another self‑employed person — Kateryna Serhutina. This is the result of a single experiment trying to buy a course from Orlovskyi. There is a strong suspicion that there are many such “Serhutinas”; they will be used for receiving funds for a while and, once exposed, simply dropped.
This is corroborated by a lawsuit of a citizen, Mykola Tereshchenko, against Oleksandr Orlovskyi (Pechersk District Court in Kyiv, Case No. 757/460/24-c). The case files show that Orlovskyi not only sells crypto courses but also earns money from training courses on “paid game testing.” For 3.750 hryvnias per course. Second, payments for these courses are also accepted into non officially designated accounts.
From this lawsuit, which the court has dismissed, another conclusion emerges — the image of the crypto millionaire does not really fit the portrait of a small crook who takes naive “game testers” 3.750 hryvnias. Sure, a thousand times a hundred dollars sums to a hundred thousand, but try to find and scam a thousand ordinary people with such a clumsy and primitive scheme. Nevertheless, the sale of “test” courses for games will probably continue as part of a separate program managed by its own department of the fraudulent company whose face is Oleksandr Orlovskyi.
For a reasonable person, studying these open sources — we emphasize: open sources — should be enough not to throw money out the window. More precisely — not to finance Oleksandr Orlovskyi’s luxurious life. Or the lives of those who stand behind him. Exactly who organizes all these obvious fraud schemes with “cryptocurrency courses,” “game testing courses,” and other nonsense, whose face is Oleksandr Orlovskyi, remains an open question.
Because there are doubts that the young Sasha — Orlovskyi is 25 years old — could have organized and financed all this himself. For the same Pechersk District Court in Kyiv, where Oleksandr Orlovskyi is registered, there is a proceedings for the collection of an unpaid loan in the amount of 102.330 hryvnias against him.
But — it is possible. At present the information is not enough for definitive conclusions, so we leave this topic for further research. At least the house where Sasha Orlovskyi is registered is by no means poor. And by the way, it does not look like the “small house in the provinces” in which Sasha allegedly “grew up in a poor family.”
That also disrupts his again the narrative of the “millionaire from nothing.” But how many of those who crave quick money without effort spend even half an hour checking to whom and for what they give their money? Scammers and swindlers who know the psychology of an average gullible person present him with a simple, primitive, yet completely effective image: a “luxurious” life with yachts, supercars, champagne, and caviar. In the motto: “Do you want to live like that too? No problem! Give us money, and we’ll teach you.” And they actually teach something. Because as an old saying goes: “Without a fool, life is hard.”
Finally, something about money: Only in July of last year did Oleksandr Orlovskyi in another promotional ode say the following: “Today Oleksandr Orlovskyi earns more than 50.000 dollars with cryptocurrencies. This amount includes income from training as well. The project is large: almost 4.000 students have completed the training.” Multiply 4.000 by a thousand dollars.
And count the zeros. What was that again — “no investments”? Not bad, we must admit. So apparently not all pictures of Orlovskyis luxurious life are a sham. Even if he isn’t the one behind the fraud scheme.
