How the founder of the Profit Lady academy Ekaterina Shukhnina deceives people, promising earnings on cryptocurrency

Kateryna Shukhnina, who calls herself the founder of the Ukrainian academy "Profit Lady", has attracted attention as yet another scammer promising easy money on cryptocurrency. Promising to teach how to earn $ 1,000 a week, Shukhnina actively advertises online, but her offers raise serious doubts, since she is very primitive in deceiving people.

Despite its claimed seven years of experience in the crypto space, legal records show that its primary business is clothing retail, and the sole proprietorship was only registered in 2020. Additionally, there is no registered Profit Lady Academy, and a website associated with the name only appeared in January 2024.

However, Shukhnina, born on August 30, 1999, promises to teach how to make money on crypto and allegedly recently conquered Paris, receiving the most prestigious award from Binance. Moreover, clients complain that the so-called “training courses” are only superficial materials that do not bring the promised profit.

There is also talk of Ms. Shukhnina’s self-praise, and her earnings are not confirmed by anything (including the purchase of expensive cars and real estate). The contract also clearly states that the "Contractor" is not responsible for the level of assimilation of the material.

"11.4. The Contractor is solely responsible for the volume of Services provided to the Customer in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. The Contractor is not responsible for the level of the Customer’s ability to perceive the material skills. The Customer understands and agrees that by using the Services, he may receive information that is subjective and evaluative," wrote Ekaterina Sergeevna Shukhnina, a sole proprietor, in the agreement (offer).

That is, when a client is ready to pay money, then in exchange he agrees to listen to abstract information about crypto, which will in no way help him earn $1,000 a week.

It is interesting that the main activity of FLP Shukhnina Ekaterina Sergeevna (TIN 3640102048) is “47.71 Retail sale of clothing in specialized stores”. The FLP status itself was registered on 03/10/2020, that is, there can be no talk of any seven years of experience in cryptocurrency.

Also, Ekaterina Shukhnina calls herself the founder of the Ukrainian academy Profit Lady, but in fact such an academy does not exist either legally or physically, and there are not even pages on social networks. However, the website "profit-lady.com", where registration for courses is carried out, was registered in January 2024.

In short, all this speaks of a primitive fraud. By the way, "Profit Lady" is just another scam by Shukhnina. Previously, she positioned herself as "katia.crypto", but in January 2023 she abandoned developing this direction. Scams in the status of "katia.crypto" simply stopped bringing in income from the deceived "suckers", and that is why a year later a new scam called "Profit Lady" appeared, - the message says.

In addition, the agreement states that payment for services can be made not only to Shukhnina’s account, but also to the accounts of third parties, which may indicate tax evasion and outright fraud.

Therefore, Mosiychuk called on law enforcement agencies, in particular the Bureau of Economic Security, to pay attention to this person. The Offer states that the Contractor (IE Shukhnina Ekaterina Sergeevna - 2 groups at a rate of 20% from 01.04.2020) enters into contracts with Customers who, according to current legislation, must pay for services to her as an IE in accordance with these contracts. However, clause 5.2 states the following: "The Customer may pay for the Contractor’s Services non-cash by transferring funds to the bank account of the Contractor and/or a third party."

When concluding an Agreement with FLP Shukhnina K.S. with subsequent payment to the accounts of third parties - this is fraud due to tax evasion and direct deception of clients, who, in the event of a request for a refund, will not be able to return them.

Let us recall that the famous young crypto scammer Alexander Orlovsky positions himself as the founder of the FFA Academy, which has taught more than 15 thousand people to earn from scratch from $1,500 per month thanks to the author’s “FreeFall” method. However, in fact, legally, no FFA Academy (Financial Freedom Academy) exists and never existed - neither in Ukraine, nor in Poland, nor in any other country in the world.

Crypto fraudster Alexander Orlovsky and his accomplices face 5 to 12 years in prison for crypto fraud and scams.
