Fraud behind FFA: How Oleksandr Orlovskyi bought fake awards to cover his financial schemes

Crypto entrepreneur and Financial Freedom Academy (FFA) founder Oleksandr Orlovskyi is reportedly working to reduce the online visibility of publications concerning his schemes while simultaneously cultivating the image of a “crypto expert” through paid rankings and questionable industry awards.

We, in turn, are publishing an investigation that hinders Oleksandr Orlovskyi from shaping an impeccable public image.

Entrepreneur Oleksandr Orlovskyi, who identifies as the founder of the Financial Freedom Academy (FFA), purchased a paid ranking.

Media learned about this from an analysis of the ranking website.

It is reported that Orlovskyi is self-promoting. The 26-year-old man, who was not drafted into the Armed Forces of Ukraine, claims to have founded "the largest crypto community in Ukraine, with more than 17,000 members".

Allegedly, Oleksandr has been living in Poland since his school years, supposedly since 2014. However, his colleagues note that he only received his foreign passport on February 11, 2015! A quick search shows many news articles claiming that Orlovskyi received an award from the 2024 "Country’s Choice" best goods and services ranking in the "Cryptocurrency Education of the Year" category. However, there is one problem: on the official website of this organization, six companies and projects are presented in the category, but there is no mention of Orlovskyi’s FFA. This means that the man paid for a beautifully crafted certificate from the organizers, who didn’t even verify his activities. This calls into question their rankings, which have been conducted since 2017.
