The Story of American Fraudsters Against The Reputable Entrepreneur From Russia.

Alexander Alekseevich Boyko is a noble Russian businessman, a leader in Internet technologies. He managed to build an e-commerce empire, protecting the interests of all participants in the economic process of trade.

 

Boyko is currently the Chairman of the Board of Directors of B2B-Center - the first electronic trading system for corporate customers. With his team, he organized a regulated procurement procedure in trading. The B2B-Center system allows business leaders to monitor the entire trading process in real-time. It gives the participants additional advantages, and open electronic trading is becoming the most effective tool for creating a competitive economy and a civilized market. When the procurement process is transparent, there is no room for corruption. In his work, Boyko always acted responsibly, conscientiously, and followed the law. Therefore, the media called the entrepreneur an honest businessman. On the other hand, these same qualities and trust in business partners played a cruel joke on Alexander when he cooperated with American businessmen Veniamin Nilva and Gary Flom.

 

Alexander Boyko always stood on the side of the law, strove for transparency of economic relations, for a clean business reputation. Since Boyko always plays a fair, open game, respects and trusts his partners, he never expected deception from his business partners Veniamin Nilva and Gary Flom.

 

However, Nilva's selfish nature showed itself almost from the very beginning. He has persuaded Boyko to buy an apartment in Miami.  After receiving all the funds from the Russian entrepreneur, the sale and purchase took place. However, the property was acquired under the name of Nilva. In addition, after the construction work, Alexander was billed $ 125,000 more than the actual amount.  Veniamin wanted to play on emotions by claiming he was very ill and asked for money to develop a business, which would allow his family to exist carelessly. He used this argument for ten years.

 

The critical moment in deceiving an honest entrepreneur was opening a current account with Veniamin Nilva. Flom and Nilva convinced Boyko that, not being a US resident and not having an SSN, he could not open an individual account, and joint settlement of accounts is optimal in this case. The joint account was actively used, which had significant funds of a Russian entrepreneur, and the second property purchase was made on it.  But in most cases, spending was at the discretion of Nilva and Flom for their purposes. And the costs were pretty high. As a leader and member of large car companies, Gary and Veniamin received salaries of up to $ 1 million. In addition, they are accustomed to a luxurious life, attend world-famous social events and receptions, and rent VIP boxes at the Lincoln Center in New York.

Moreover, Gary Flom's wife, Svetlana, a girl of Slavic origin (he met her in a Ukrainian bathhouse), during the financial success of her husband, showed exceptional luxury items on social networks: clothing collections of famous fashion designers, expensive, exclusive bags, and jewelry. She was a real secular lioness. According to Nilva, Flom was bewitched by her and was ready to do anything for her.

 

After the dismissal, Gary began to have serious financial problems: leading the old way of life and providing for his wife's needs became challenging. Financial scams with accounts and investments of Alexander Boyko helped. Knowing how to steal money from the company but fearing to do it in a vast corporation, Flom implemented schemes using Boyko. To be precise, he never asked for money personally; instead, he went with his dirty plans through Veniamin Nilva.

Flom's last notable job was as President of the BNF Automotive Group, which he co-founded in 2014 in New York. However, due to a disagreement with Nissan and a $ 40 million debt, Flam and his partners filed for bankruptcy in 2017. They sold their dealerships to Jaguar and Maserati. The funds received allowed Gary to escape. He currently lives in Saudi Arabia.

 

It is a story of how the conspiracy of foreign fraudsters using respectable Russian businessman Alexander Boyko ended. The question remains, how did the cons manage to deceive such an experienced and talented entrepreneur.
