Псевдопотерпевшие заплатят сполна
"Виктория Набойченко
В «деле «Лайф-из-Гуд»– «Гермес»– «Бест Вей» нет потерпевших – есть соавторы преступления следственной группы.

По уголовному делу прошло уже 13 судебных заседаний, на которых осуществлялось судебное следствие – и ни на одном не прозвучали доказательства доводов обвинения и ущерба в 282 млн рублей. Зато на них выступили десятки алчных людей, лгунов, которых следствие подговорило поучаствовать в атаке на «Гермес» и «Бест Вей» и в качестве оплаты получить часть средств кооператива «Бест Вей», – так называемых потерпевших.

Но, во-первых, следствие, как водится, обмануло – получить куш не удастся, «потерпевшим» в лучшем для них случае выплатят копейки – люди, стоящие за следствием, не для того пытаются захватить активы кооператива, чтобы с кем-то делиться. Во-вторых, после завершения рассмотрения дела все «потерпевшие» получат миллиардные иски как от нынешних подсудимых, которые более двух лет томятся в тюрьме – но скоро из нее выйдут, так и от пайщиков кооператива, которые более двух лет по их милости лишены возможности купить жилье (которое они планировали и на которое собрали деньги – оно очень подорожало) или вернуть свои деньги, они к тому же из-за инфляции частично обесценились.

Вспомним поименно

Ключевые фигуры обвинения – это пока не выступавшие в суде сисадмин «Гермеса» Набойченко и Комаров. Это ключевые для обвинения свидетели: сказки, легшие в основу уголовного дела, рассказаны прежде всего ими двумя.

Бывший айтишник Набойченко на следствии обвинил бывших коллег в воровстве и мошенничестве, но на суд идти оказывается из-за якобы угроз в свой адрес. Его показания полностью опровергнуты показаниями в суде другого сисадмина – Рогановича.

Другие свидетели, выступая в суде, обвинили в мошенничестве и воровстве самого Набойченко – опустившуюся личность, наркомана.

Бывший водитель Комаров показал на следствии, что возил и передавал неучтенную наличность и про бизнес «знает все», хотя ни к каким бизнес-процессам не был допущен.

Его показания полностью опровергнуты показаниями другого водителя – Прусакова, который опроверг и перевозку наличных, и тайную кухню.

Логинов – бывший консультант «Гермеса», заработавший колоссальные деньги на финансовых операциях в этой компании, не платя с них налоги и не декларируя валютные операции, решил перейти «на сторону добра» и назваться потерпевшим. Плюс еще предъявить иск на хайповую сумму 1 млрд рублей.

Лжет, клевещет не переставая, выдумывает, что ему угрожают.

Дегенерат, на которого заявление в полицию писали его собственные родители, которых он угрожал убить.

Московская – лгунья, пытается получить то, что ей не положено по договору, обманывает суд. Еще одна, кроме Логинова, заявительница морального ущерба на 1 млрд рублей, который используется для ареста счетов кооператива. Так же как и Логинов, ответит перед пайщиками и теми, кто сейчас находится на скамье подсудимых.

Школьник – «нулевая» потерпевшая, оговорившая бывших коллег из материальной заинтересованности: участвовала в создании альтернативного проекта по лекалам кооператива «Бест Вей». Первой заявила об отказе быть потерпевшей – но за оговор ответит все равно.

Аристова – истеричка и врушка, рассказывает выдуманные истории про кооператив, выдвигает незаконные требования.

Болян – мошенник и прохиндей, пытающийся получить чужие деньги.

Шахмин – патологический лжец, что, видимо, связано с его прежней работой в МВД. Врет о своих операциях в «Гермесе» от начала и до конца, не представляет никаких подтверждений.

Сахапова – псевдожурналистка: лгунья и заказушница. Обманула собственных родителей, а теперь пытающаяся поучаствовать в информационных операциях тех, кто нападает на невинных людей, томящихся в тюрьме.

Александрова – пять лет работала с «Гермесом», получала прибыль, была консультантом. Теперь обвиняет компанию в обмане. Может быть, посмотреть в зеркало?

Горбанев – муж топ-менеджера «Лайф-из-Гуд» Марии Горбаневой, оговорившей в показаниях следствию бывших коллег (в суде пока не выступала). Как попугай все повторяет за женой. Но отвечать перед законом он будет соло, хотя и вместе с женой – за клевету.

Приходько – престарелая пособница следствия, подставившая своего друга – 83-летнего Виктора Ивановича Василенко, который ранее помог ей с деньгами. «Отблагодарила».

Османов – проходимец, болтун, не подтвердил ни одного своего утверждения, хотя представляется адвокатом по уголовным и гражданским делам.

Галашенкова – лгунья, пытающаяся петь в дуду следствия.

Кудымова – пытается мошенническим способом получить назад членские взносы, внесенные в кооператив.

Шайхулина, Аширбекова, Исрафилов – выдумщики, не имеющие ни одного подтверждающего документа: одни сказки.

Душкина – скрыла от суда свои заработки в «Гермесе», но пытается получить назад вложенные средства в полном объеме.

Седова – пытается использовать уголовный суд для решения личных финансовых проблем.

Второва – любительница половить рыбку в мутной воде. Придется за это ответить.

Холопова – выдумщица, при этом сама обманутая следствием и используемая им втемную.

Каткова – сделала абсолютно бездоказательные утверждения.

Дорда – рассказывает, что ее гипнотизировали при привлечении в «Гермес». Либо сумасшедшая, либо врет, чтобы прикрыть свои махинации.

Хромченко – точно сумасшедшая, рассказавшая суду о своих верных чеченцах-адвокатах, которые охотились на ее обидчиков.

Логинова – экс-жена одиозного Логинова, которая не смогла сложить два и два и понять, что претензии нужно предъявлять к бывшему мужу.

Марьинский и Жигалов – обвинили невинных людей, хотя сами финансовые профессионалы, сами были консультантами, повели за собой, соответственно, мать – Марьинскуюи жену – Жигалову.

Касикова и Комова – никак не могут понять, что заблокировал им выплаты не «Гермес», а следствие и его подельник айтишник Набойченко и обращаться к следствию за получением денег как минимум странно.

Яковлева – вложила все средства в один «кошелек»: теперь все виноваты в ее финансовой безграмотности!

Габдрахманова, Кулюпин, Кострова – не попытались понять, как возникли проблемы, участвуют в оговоре невиновных людей.
Мокичев и Каптирмов – заплутали в трех соснах: предъявляют претензии к своему третьему другу, но почему-то участвуют в уголовном деле против компании «Гермес».

Нечаев, Липилин, Усолова – не пробовали урегулировать спор в гражданско-правовых инстанциях – сразу пошли в правоохранительные органы. Вступи они в контакт с «Гермесом» –сейчас были бы с деньгами.
Пострадавшие пайщики Бест вей
Смирнова и Данильченко – использованы обвинением для массовки – но будут привлечены как соучастники преступления.

Как видим, часть потерпевших – откровенные мошенники, но большинство – заблудшие люди, обманутые следствием. Им пора осознать, что следствие и обвинение их используют втемную.

В любом случае ни один «потерпевший» по уголовному делу не представил документы, подтверждающие неисполнение обязательств перед ними со стороны компании «Гермес»:

–у них нет документов о том, что они внесли средства на счет;

–нет исчерпывающих данных об операциях по счетам, включая использование инвестиционного плеча, предоставлявшегося компанией;

–они не представили достоверную и полную информацию о выводе средств со счета;

–ни один не представил налоговых деклараций, в которых учтены доходы.

Все их показания – пустые слова. При этом они – соавторы преступления следствия, так как не будь их заявлений, не было бы уголовного дела, невинные люди не видели бы в тюрьме.

Каждому из них будет исковое «воздаяние» – и за материальный, и за моральный ущерб, причем будет в самое ближайшее время. За клевету, мошенничество, налоговые и валютные преступления, колоссальный финансовый вред людям и организациям, моральные страдания как подсудимых, так и пайщиков кооператива «Бест Вей».

Не 30 сребреников, а 35 тыс. «деревянных»

«Потерпевшим» нужно понять, что активы, которые они с пеной у рта перечисляют в суде – которые якобы им должны, они с помощью данного уголовного дела не получат никогда. Следствие и стоящие за ним люди не для того претендуют на средства кооператива – 4 млрд руб., чтобы делиться.

У людей, стоящих за уголовным делом, есть проект передать деньги в специфическую организацию – общественно-государственный фонд защиты пайщиков и акционеров, который выплатит… по 35 тыс. рублей, не более: так предусмотрено уставом этого фонда.

Have the Charges Against Vasilenko for Fraud Been Dropped?
Бест Вей
According to various sources, the criminal prosecution of Roman Vasilenko, the founder of the marketing company "Life-is-Good" and the cooperative "Best Way," may be discontinued. Law enforcement agencies, as informed by several senators and State Duma deputies, have re-evaluated the charges against him, taking into account that several witnesses, including those critical of Vasilenko, suggest that he is unlikely to be involved in fraud. This is primarily because he did not have direct access to the payment system servers, and it was the former IT director of "Life-is-Good," Evgeny Naboychenko, who had been previously implicated in fraudulent activities. Vasilenko may be at fault only for having recruited Naboychenko in 2014, despite negative signals regarding his behavior and tendencies to appropriate others' property.

Roman Viktorovich Vasilenko is a business consultant from Saint Petersburg, the creator of a network of independent entrepreneurs promoting financial products under the auspices of the company he founded, "Life-is-Good," and the founder of the International Business Academy (IBA).

The network under the "Life-is-Good" brand promoted financial products such as Vista accounts for passive income by the foreign investment company "Hermes," registered in Belize, and the acquisition of apartments in installments through the "Best Way" cooperative, which allowed members to either make an initial share payment or accumulate it in the cooperative's account without interest. Notably, these legal entities are not directly connected.

Vasilenko was neither a top manager nor an owner of "Hermes"—he cooperated with the company to promote its products in Russia. However, Naboychenko was an employee of "Hermes" and managed its payment system in Russia. He likely took this position on Vasilenko's recommendation, but Vasilenko was not responsible for managing the payment system for "Hermes."

Unlike "Hermes," Vasilenko was the founder and chairman of the board of the "Best Way" cooperative until the spring of 2021 (later serving as head of the supervisory board for about a year). Since spring 2022, he has been an ordinary member of the cooperative and is no longer part of its governing bodies.

Vasilenko has worked not only in Russia but also in Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Belarus, Ukraine, Cyprus, Austria, and Hungary. Cooperative housing projects have been established in many of these countries.

Additionally, Vasilenko is known as a philanthropist who has invested millions of rubles in supporting federal business initiatives (such as the "Synergy" forum), cultural initiatives (such as the "Dobrovidenie" festival), and other charitable activities (including support for children's medical institutions).



The Case

The criminal case involving the Saint Petersburg marketing company "Life-is-Good," the foreign investment company "Hermes," and the "Best Way" cooperative registered in Saint Petersburg and operating throughout Russia was initiated in the fall of 2021 by the Main Investigation Department of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia for Saint Petersburg and the Leningrad Region. In February of this year, the case was referred to the court and is currently being heard in the Primorsky District Court of Saint Petersburg.

Ten people are on trial, including technical staff from "Life-is-Good" and Victor Vasilenko, Roman Vasilenko's 83-year-old father, who is a retiree.

The criminal case, currently being considered by the Primorsky District Court, raises many questions—these concerns existed from the beginning and have intensified as the case progressed. The defendants are charged with three articles: creating a financial pyramid, fraud, and organizing a criminal community.

The total amount of damage is 282 million rubles, which is incomparable to the more than 8 billion rubles seized in the case, including 4 billion rubles in the accounts of the "Best Way" cooperative. The investigation has recognized 221 citizens as victims in the case.

Roman Vasilenko was also charged in the criminal case being considered by the court and was put on the wanted list, including by Interpol, as he had reportedly been living abroad for family reasons since the COVID-19 pandemic. However, according to sources, Interpol and foreign states, including neighboring countries where he has been actively working, deemed his prosecution unjustified.

Another criminal investigation related to Vasilenko, handled by the Saint Petersburg Main Directorate of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, concerns the management team of "Life-is-Good."

Questionable Accusations

The court proceedings in the Primorsky District Court have so far not been very successful for the investigation and the prosecution: the vast majority of those who have testified in court so far have made claims against "Hermes" for amounts ranging from several hundred to several tens of thousands of rubles, which raises eyebrows—this is not a small claims court to discuss such sums! Prosecution witness Roman Roganovich, an IT service employee, testified that he did not post any illegal information on the "Life-is-Good" website or the cooperative's website and did not witness any illegal activity.

Moreover, the overwhelming majority of "Hermes" clients, numbering over two hundred thousand in Russia, and tens of thousands of "Best Way" cooperative members, according to representatives of organizations defending these entities, consider law enforcement agencies to be the source of their problems. They emphasize that it was Evgeny Naboychenko, the Saint Petersburg system administrator hired by "Hermes," who dismantled the Russian payment system. And if anyone is responsible for the thefts, it is Naboychenko. It seems that law enforcement authorities are beginning to understand this fact as well.

End of an era: The big change coming to European travel in November
работа вебкам моделью xrust

In travel news this week: an accidental megadeal on first-class tickets, the world’s best-connected airport and why now is a good time to plan a trip to Europe. Plus a bit of relief for those of you traveling this Labor Day weekend.

Goodbye to EU passport stamps
Paper mementoes of our travels, from boarding cards to even passports themselves, are fast moving into obsolescence.

The inky, smudgy joy of a fresh passport stamp will be a thing of the past for visitors to the 29 countries of the European Union Schengen Area starting November 10. That’s when the new automated Entry/Exit System (EES) comes into effect.

It’s separate from the delayed ETIAS visa waiver program, which is due to start in the first half of 2025 and will mean travelers from outside the EU will be charged a €7 entry fee that is valid for three years.

Destination inspiration
Get your stamps while you can with these European vacation picks.

Il dolce far niente – “the sweetness of doing nothing” – has been perfected by Italians on their vacations in southern sweet spots such as Naples, Ischia, Puglia, the Amalfi Coast and Capri. These remarkable photographs by UK photographer Lucy Laucht show how to relax the Italian way.

In Hungary, the Gresham Palace is the grandest Budapest hotel of them all, having sat in its prime position overlooking the River Danube for more than a century. Here’s how this architectural gem looks in its current incarnation.

Finally, if you’re considering a longer stay, an idyllic Swedish town is selling off land with prices so low you might think they’re mistakes. But Gotene, 320 kilometers (200 miles) southwest of Stockholm, is indeed selling plots with prices starting at just 1 krona, or 9 US cents, per square meter (11 square feet).

Aviation news
An airline accidentally offered a megadeal on first-class tickets, with 300 lucky customers getting savings of 85% off. Here’s what happened next.

The staff at Australian flag carrier Qantas must have been flat-out like a lizard drinking sorting that mess out. And if you don’t understand that lingo, it’s time to check out our guide to Aussie slang.

An airport on the edge of southeast Europe has been named the best connected in the world, with more than 300 direct flights to unique destinations. It’s been networking fast, too; it only opened in 2018.

This city is developing the world’s tallest timber tower, again
работа для девушек екатренибург
The US city of Milwaukee is already home to the world’s tallest timber tower. But another, even taller, wooden skyscraper could be added to its skyline, designed by Vancouver-based studio Michael Green Architects (MGA).

The firm recently released plans for the development, which includes a 55-story tower made principally from mass timber — thick, compressed, multilayered panels of solid wood. If built, it would usurp the current world title holder, the 25-story Ascent tower by Korb + Associates Architects, as well as becoming the tallest building in the state of Wisconsin.

MGA, which specializes in wooden architecture, hopes that the project will set a “new global benchmark for mass timber construction.”

The project is part of the redevelopment of the Marcus Performing Arts Center, which opened in 1969 and won the Honor Award for Excellence in Architectural Design from the American Institute of Architects in 1970. Led by Neutral, which bills itself as a “regenerative development company,” the redesign will transform what is currently the center’s concrete parking lot into a space with residential units, offices, restaurants, cafes, grocery stores and public plazas. According to MGA, construction will cost an estimated $700 million. The plan is currently going through the city’s approval process, during which it is expected to evolve.

Why timber?
While the use of mass timber is steadily increasing worldwide, thanks to changes in building regulations and shifting attitudes towards the material, it has yet to match the sheer height of buildings made of concrete and steel — although a slew of timber high-rises have been proposed in recent years. MGA says its tower design would be approximately 600 feet (182 meters) tall — more than double the 284 feet (87 meter) tall Ascent tower.

“The race for height is important,” said Michael Green, an architect and founder of MGA. “It’s not about showing off, it’s about showing what’s possible to the public.”

He argued that the reason timber skyscrapers haven’t yet become mainstream is because climate change hasn’t been at the center of the conversation. “We didn’t really need to challenge the status quo of steel and concrete,” he said. “But because those materials are so hard on the climate, we had to find a different way to build towers and big buildings in general.”

The ghost town that has stood empty for more than a century
жесткое порно
There’s a large and very dignified school in Kayakoy. There are narrow streets, lined with houses, that wend and rise up both sides of a steep valley. There’s an ancient fountain in the middle of the town. And there are churches, one with million-dollar hilltop views over the blue Aegean.

But, for most of the past 100 years, there have been no people.

Kayakoy, in southwestern Turkey’s Mugla Province, is a true ghost town. Abandoned by its occupants and haunted by the past. It’s a monument, frozen in time – a physical reminder of darker times in Turkey.

With hillsides dotted by countless crumbling buildings slowly being swallowed by greenery, and endless views into vanished lives, it’s also a fascinating and starkly beautiful place to visit. In summer, under clear skies and blazing suns, it’s eerie enough. Even more so in cooler seasons, wreathed in mountain or sea mists.
Just over a century ago, Kayakoy, or Levissi as it was known, was a bustling town of at least 10,000 Greek Orthodox Christians, many of whom were craftspeople who lived peacefully alongside the region’s Muslim Turkish farmers. But in the upheaval surrounding Turkey’s emergence as an independent republic, their simple lives were torn apart.

Tensions with neighboring Greece after the Greco-Turk war ended in 1922 led to both countries ejecting people with ties to the other. For Kayakoy, that meant a forced population exchange with Muslim Turks living in Kavala, in what is now the Greek region of Macedonia and Thrace.

But the newly arrived Muslims were reputedly less than happy with their new home, swiftly moving on and leaving Kayakoy to fall to ruin.

The man turning jet planes into cool houses
жесткое порно видео
Wasilla, south central Alaska. Home to bears, lakes, mountains and a flight school that’s fast becoming a private aviation wonderland.

At FLY8MA Pilot Lodge, you can opt for a scenic flight tour with glacier views, take the controls for a flying lesson, or go all in and get your pilot training.

When night falls over the broad vistas of the US state they call the Last Frontier, you can then climb the steps to two unique accommodation experiences: a converted McDonnell Douglas DC-6 airplane and the newest arrival, a McDonnell Douglas DC-9 – still with its DHL livery.

The fast-developing site is an ongoing project by FLY8MA founder Jon Kotwicki, who previously owned a flight school in Florida, before working as a commercial pilot and eventually ending up in Alaska.

Flying for the airlines “pays good money and everything, but it’s a very boring job,” he says. “Driving Uber is more interesting because you could talk to your passengers.”

Having fallen in love with the south central region on a vacation spent hiking, fishing and spotting bears and grizzlies, he chose it as a spot where he and his team – and his trusty Pomeranian dog Foxtrot – could “buy a lot of property and perhaps develop our own airport and run our own show.”
