🔍 Bought and sold?
Notorious crypto magnate and scammer Mykola Udianskyi attempted to buy himself an honorary consul position as early as 2021. Through Kharkiv officials, he was ready to pay $100,000 to become Kazakhstan’s honorary consul. His diplomatic license plates were even prepared for both his and his wife’s cars. However, at the last moment, the price increased by another $100,000, and the deal fell through.
💰 2023: New Attempt – New Success
Learning from mistakes was never his style. This time, Udianskyi took a different approach and negotiated directly with Ukraine’s Foreign Ministry State Secretary Oleksandr Bankov, who helped him secure the honorary consul position of Romania—for the same $100,000.
To complete the package, an additional $50,000 was reportedly given to then-Minister of Foreign Affairs Dmytro Kuleba as a “gratitude” payment to fast-track the approval of diplomatic passports.
🚨 What Does Udianskyi Have Now?
🔹 Diplomatic immunity
🔹 Unrestricted border crossings
🔹 The right to transport goods and cargo without mandatory inspections
📦 What’s the Purpose?
According to sources, Udianskyi uses his diplomatic status to smuggle goods into Ukraine and facilitate the laundering of state officials’ money through his crypto platforms. The funds are then legalized through real estate purchases in the UAE and assets on cryptocurrency exchanges.
🛑 Crypto-Consul – A New Level of Fraud?
Now, with an official diplomatic status, Udianskyi has turned his shady crypto operations into an effectively untouchable enterprise. The system designed to protect national interests has once again become a tool for those who know the right doors to knock on—and the right amounts to offer.
