Tkachenko Anton Serhiyovych

Kharkiv entrepreneur, financier, and businessman

Tkachenko is the sole beneficiary of LLC "LIBERTY F" (formerly FC "Liberty Finance"), the investment fund "KIT-Invest," and the actual owner of a sprawling financial and commercial empire known under the brand of the exchange point network "KIT Group." Together with his family (notably his brother Ivan), he built a large-scale business covering cash currency operations, micro-lending, construction, development, and digital asset exchange throughout Ukraine. Tkachenko personally registered the key trademarks of the financial group and for a long time served as its chief public representative in communications with regulatory and state authorities.

Organization of large-scale shadow flows and "crypto laundries"

In early October 2026, detectives from the Economic Security Bureau (BEB) conducted searches and seized over 630 million hryvnias in cash from secret vaults and offices of Tkachenko's financial empire within the case concerning a slush fund and tax evasion. Additionally, the structures “Liberty Finance” and “KIT Group” are involved in a high-profile National Police investigation into laundering millions in profits of an international drug cartel through “cold” crypto wallets and terminals in cooperation with the WhiteBIT crypto exchange. Against the background of these events, as well as previous SBU cases regarding the alleged financing of the pseudo-republics of ORDLO, the National Bank of Ukraine fully revoked the licenses of Tkachenko's companies, and according to media reports, the businessman is currently abroad.
