Babenko Nazar Kostiantynovych

Instagram 'crypto investor' from Dnipro, beneficiary of the Danvel / Eternity Business crypto pyramids

Public image: one of the youngest "dollar millionaires" in Ukraine, up to ~10 million followers on Instagram, showcasing the Gulfstream G700 business jet (~$80 million), supercars, and luxury; he estimates his wealth in the hundreds of millions of dollars. Originally from Dnipro; in 2022, of conscription age during martial law, he left Ukraine — geolocations mostly Dubai, Istanbul, London, Zurich.

Danvel / Eternity Business

Together with Ihor Kotov — co-founder of the charitable foundation "Danvel Group" (Dnipro). Danvel and Eternity — structures registered in the UK/Estonia (Danvel Finances OÜ, Danvel Education Ltd — liquidated, Danvel Group Ltd, Eternity Business Ltd), presenting themselves as an "investment product" / "neobank"; scam monitoring platforms classified them as suspicious.

Danvel/Eternity are Ponzi schemes, Babenko and Kotov are the real beneficiaries, and Mykhailo Romanenko from Chernivtsi is the "figurehead", who was reportedly detained by the Security Service of Ukraine (SBU) and gave testimony; former Deputy Head of the Presidential Office Andriy Smyrnov is also mentioned. In the court register, there is a lawsuit from PrivatBank against Babenko for ~314,700 UAH over a 2019 loan despite him positioning himself as a dollar millionaire.
