Odesa resident, who is on trial for fraud, collects money from people through TikTok

Denys Horlenko, a resident of Odesa who is accused of fraudulently misappropriating funds from depositors of a construction cooperative, collects money from people through his own TikTok channels, promising them monetisation.

The editors learned about this from an analysis of Horlenko’s social networks and materials from criminal proceedings No. 12018160500002858 under Part. 2,3,4 Article 190 of the Criminal Code.

We wrote about Denys in 2018, when law enforcement officers began the case. Then he came up with British investors allegedly building housing in Odesa. He always imagined himself as a successful realtor Denys Alpha. Indeed, he once began his career as a real estate specialist. From the age of 18 he worked at the Vityaz agency, where he signed advertisements “Denys Olexandrovych”.

Denys Alfa-Horlenko also tried himself as an activist. He registered the public organization "S.V.E.T." and told people about electric meters.

However, activism did not bring money. Therefore, Horlenko-Alfa resorted to fraud. He came up with the British company GuestHouse. According to legend, the company implemented the “affordable housing” program and was engaged in the construction of low-rise residential buildings for the population. And to build her houses she used supposedly British nanotechnology, which has no analogues in the world. This very “technology” allows you to build one floor per day.

Denys Horlenko, with the help of other criminals, created a service cooperative, Guest House Odessa, through which he collected money. The founders were Svitlana Byelova and Olha Kolesnichenko. These people are involved in the creation of the OK "Guest House Kyiv" with director Vladyslav Semenyuk and the housing complex "Guest House UA" with director Rodion Cherney (also owners Vyacheslav Barbotko, Olexiy Luchenko). Denys Horlenko also created the Water City company in Odesa with activities in the field of purchase and sale of his own real estate.

Horlenko’s scam was quickly exposed. The police opened a case based on the victims’ statements. Denys Alfa received suspicion under h.h. 2,3,4 Article 190 of the Criminal Code. After this, the swindler began to hide from the investigation. He ordered an examination at Into-San for allegedly having a hypertensive crisis, and then ran away from the hospital. Then he appeared in Kyiv, where he was also given a similar diagnosis. While fleeing from law enforcement officers, Horlenko began to influence his colleague, who sent text messages to the victims, trying to influence them and convince them not to contact law enforcement agencies. In addition, they organized a meeting with the victims, where they also tried to use influence to force them to abandon previously submitted applications to law enforcement agencies.

Horlenko’s case has been pending in court for a long time. This was done in order to release the fraudster from liability after the statute of limitations had expired.

Meanwhile, Denys Alpha continues to deceive people. On his Instagram and TikTok accounts, he states that he is promoting “the most famous and wealthy TikTok experts in the United States.” He also provides courses to increase followers on social networks. It is not true. The scammer has nothing to do with the USA and promotion. He only needs people’s funds.

Denys Horlenko and his assistant Kateryna Stupnitska are accused in a fraud case, hearings of which are scheduled for April 2024 in the Primorsky District Court. The head of the district court, Serhiy Kichmarenko, will preside over the trial. Some decisions in this case are already classified. The editors will continue to monitor the activities of Denys Horlenko.
