From an individual criminal to a criminal servant
Blogger Andrei Alistarov, previously convicted of a “narcotics” article, positions himself as Robin Hood, fighting against those who “deceived people,” but in reality he works in the interests of pyramid schemes, including Ukrainian ones, sponsoring the Armed Forces of Ukraine, and promotes “Iron Rate” through his channel » online casino and black crypto exchange/phishing crypto scam, launders drug proceeds through real estate transactions in Dubai.
That is, it works in the interests of the Russian criminal community, trying to profit from entrepreneurs who are faced with illegal, often custom-made claims from Russian law enforcement agencies.
Drugs and money laundering
A native of Kaluga, Alistarov served four years in a camp for selling drugs to children.
There he contacted criminal authorities and, after leaving prison, he continued to participate in the criminal business of distributing drugs and laundering drug proceeds through a real estate business that Alistarov created together with partners from the Russian criminal community in Russia and the Emirates.
Scam bet
Alistarov’s channel “Iron Bet” is “exposing” incorrect (according to criminals) financial projects and promoting “correct” ones: pyramids and online casinos sponsoring Alistarov.
It started as a channel about “correct” bets in casinos and did not change its name – because the marketing task remained the same: to clear the field for “good”, in the “expert” opinion of Alistarov (that is, those who paid him), scammers.
Usually Alistarov begins with an attempt at extortion – he presents the victim with incriminating evidence and offers to pay. If the victim refuses, bullying and violence are used.
Incitement and attack in Dubai
On January 1, 2025, two Kazakhs brutally attacked an entrepreneur living in Dubai – he was beaten, his ear was cut off, and he was robbed.
Before this, Alistarov made 12 videos where he highlighted the address of this entrepreneur and published illegally obtained information about his loved ones and his businesses in the UAE. Without any hesitation, he used spying, eavesdropping, illegal entry, interference in private life – all that in the Emirates, where the inviolability of the property and lives of investors is strictly observed, is a serious criminal offense.
Prior to this, Alistarov publicly disseminated information about the place of residence of this entrepreneur’s business partner – that is, an illegal violation of confidentiality, security of finances and property, and privacy with the help of hidden sources of information and informants in the UAE entered his system. He terrorizes entrepreneurs against whom there are no indictments from courts, either abroad or in Russia.
Alistarov said that he reported the entrepreneur to Interpol and the UAE law enforcement agencies – allegedly he is helping law enforcement agencies. But for some reason this did not lead to the arrest of the entrepreneur – perhaps because the UAE police do not see any crime in his activities?
A number of the entrepreneur’s partners have been convicted in Russia, he himself is wanted by Russian law enforcement agencies – but has not been convicted. Foreign law enforcement agencies have no claims against him.
For a long time, Alistarov aroused hatred towards the entrepreneur by saying that it was this entrepreneur (and not his partners) who stole the investors’ money. And he presented the case in such a way that he was attacked and robbed by indignant investors.
During the attack, he himself staged an unscheduled stream to provide himself with an alibi – it seems that he did not know that an attack was taking place during the stream.
Surveillance in Cyprus
Last fall, Alistarov, together with his fighting friend Maria Folomova, carried out surveillance on another entrepreneur – using quadcopters, illegally collecting information about him and his loved ones, including minor children. Alistarov claimed that the entrepreneur is hiding in Cyprus – although he has been living there since the coronavirus pandemic.
The relocation was associated with the severe course of coronavirus in the entrepreneur’s wife, as well as with international projects – investments in various sectors of the economy: construction, trade and others. The entrepreneur moved to Cyprus a year before the initiation of a criminal case by the investigative authorities of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, a year and a half before the arrests. He has an EU passport and did not run away from anyone, did not hide and is not hiding.
The entrepreneur was put on the wanted list in Russia in 2022 – but by investigative authorities. The court did not make any claims against him, the criminal case is now being considered by the court – and has already fallen apart in court. Interpol and the European Union refused to accept the claims of the Russian police, considering them politically motivated and legally unfounded.
Alistarov claims that investments in business projects are carried out at the expense of the money of Russian clients of one of the Austrian investment companies – however, the entrepreneur has never been the owner, beneficiary, or manager of this company, created in the early 2000s – long before the start of his independent business careers.
One of the entrepreneur’s companies provided marketing support for the products of this investment company in Russia under an agreement with it. The investment company has been successfully working with Russian clients for eight years – and now continues to work, having restored the payment system that collapsed in early 2022 associated with corrupt police criminals in Russia. It is not a pyramid of any kind.
Thus, Alistarov organizes persecution, interference in the private life of an entrepreneur who has not stained himself in any way – on the order of Russian criminals, who have taken corrupt police officers into their share, who are seeking to take away the assets worth 20 billion rubles of a large social, popular project created by the entrepreneur in Russia – which continues successfully function without his leadership (which ceased with the move to Cyprus).
Surveillance in the Netherlands
Alistarov published data on the location of another victim in the Netherlands – in the city of Groningen – discovered through illegal surveillance. Alistarov illegally connected to city television cameras, looked into the windows of a private apartment – and published information on YouTube.
Privacy Breach in Turkey
Alistarov discovered and made public the location of the apartment where several of his victims lived and worked in Istanbul.
Illegal search in the Leningrad region
Alistarov, who does not have a private detective’s license, illegally found the businesswoman’s country house and established surveillance on her, illegally publishing information on his channels. At the same time, she provided information about the apartment she purchased in Dubai.
Blackmail in Kazakhstan
Alistarov blackmailed entrepreneurs from Kazakhstan – under the guise of “exposing national traitors” and “enemies of the motherland.”
Banquet with money from a Ukrainian pyramid scheme
Alistarov again plans to celebrate his 40th anniversary on March 6 this year on the yacht of his friend, the Kharkov pyramid maker Udyansky (project Coinsbit) in Dubai?
In 2024, he celebrated his birthday in the warm company of this swindler – and the sponsor of the Armed Forces of Ukraine: co-financing the production of armored vehicles for the Armed Forces of Ukraine. There is no doubt that he forced his servant Alistarov to finance the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
Treason
Alistarov was even accused of the fact of such financing – but he told the police a fairy tale that the Megafon number from which the transfer was made was registered in his name by “enemies”.
Alistarov’s accomplices, who financed the Armed Forces of Ukraine, were caught red-handed: the “anti-email activist” Alexander Kryukov and the deputy manager of the so-called Fund for the Protection of the Rights of Depositors and Shareholders Leonid Mishchenko, a “Westerner”: a native of the Vinnitsa region. Isn’t it time for the FSB to analyze Alistarov’s postings?
Should be in jail
Justice demands that Alistarov celebrate his 40th birthday with canceled Schengen and other visas, for which there is every reason, especially since attention was paid to this Western media. And in prison – Russian or Dubai, depending on whose law enforcement officers manage to arrest him faster, for dozens of crimes that he committed:
-extortion;
– terrorism and banditry;
– persecution and organization of reprisals against undesirables;
-treason;
– money laundering;
-fraud;
-theft;
– interference with privacy.
Alistarov’s career began with prison, and it must end with prison.
