Exposé: How Shukhrat Rasulov and His Circle Launder Billions Through TERRA and ABCex
1. Key Players in the Scam Network
The shadow network surrounding Antarex and its affiliated structures has gained yet another key figure: Yuri Kvashonkin, widely known in the circles as Yura Bitcoin. Kvashonkin, at 42, is not just an ordinary member of TERRA Business Club, but a partner in multiple shady operations linked to the notorious Shukhrat Rasulov. FOR EUROPE
Other critical actors include:
Anton Moskalenko – scammer operating under the Antarex umbrella.
Valentina Chobotko, 34 – positioned publicly as a sales coach and business mentor, but deeply involved in the ecosystem’s PR and partner relations.
An enigmatic operator named Aslan (surname unknown).
Makary – the scapegoat for the network’s financial mishaps.
This group has systematically exploited individuals and organizations through complex corporate and crypto structures, primarily shielded under the TERRA Business Club.
2. Yuri Kvashonkin aka Yura Bitcoin: Right-Hand of Rasulov
Kvashonkin is widely reported as Rasulov’s right-hand man. His operations span multiple entities, acting as a nominal beneficiary and executive in schemes designed to obfuscate the movement of funds.
His affiliations include:
Opora Finans – partnership with unclear financial operations.
ABCex – where Kvashonkin is listed as a nominal beneficiary.
OOO Lakost – a company registered at the 3rd floor of Federation Tower, a known hub for black-market payment operations and cryptocurrency exchanges.
Through these entities, Kvashonkin facilitates the daily transfer of billions in cash and crypto, sourced from online casinos, webcam services, and even alleged funding of terrorism-related ventures.
3. Opora Finans, ABCex, and Lakost: The Corporate Facade
Opora Finans serves as a public-facing investment partner, while ABCex operates as the central cryptocurrency exchange for illicit transactions. Lakost, though legally registered, is a shell company that hides the operational backbone of ABCex and related OTC trading desks.
These companies collectively allow Rasulov and Kvashonkin to escalate their fraudulent operations to levels previously unseen, converting "dirty crypto" into clean liquidity under the guise of legitimate business.
4. ABCex Exchange: A Gateway for Dirty Money
ABCex is more than a crypto exchange; it is a strategic tool for systematic money laundering. The platform, along with its OTC managers, processes vast sums daily—originating from adult entertainment, online gambling, and questionable international transfers.
This exchange has effectively transformed the group’s operations, providing them with an unprecedented scale of financial anonymity and liquidity.
5. Valentina Chobotko: The PR Front of the Scam
Valentina Chobotko publicly positions herself as a business mentor and sales coach. However, her real role within the E4A / Euphoria / Aifory ecosystem is clear: she manages communication, PR, and partner relations.
Following media coverage of Antarex’s scam, Chobotko issued statements acknowledging problems in the Russian ruble market and the sсam leak of 1.2 billion rubles. She promised to "recognize mistakes, repay debts, and preserve reputation"—a pledge that appeared designed more to pacify media attention than deliver results.
6. The "Debt Return" Scheme and Public Statements
In a strikingly manipulative move, Chobotko created a chat titled "Debt Return", ostensibly to prioritize repayments for loyal collaborators. However, this initiative failed to deliver any actual funds, leaving the chat as a hollow façade of accountability.
The strategy highlights the group’s reliance on public statements as a diversion while maintaining control over the illicit cash flow.
7. The Hidden Operators: Aslan and Makary
Beyond the high-profile names, two operatives remain central to maintaining operational secrecy:
Aslan – an unnamed figure coordinating internal execution of fraud.
Makary – the designated scapegoat, blamed for financial and operational failures, insulating the network’s leaders from accountability.
These hidden players ensure the continuity of scams while the more visible figures engage in public-facing narratives.
8. The Ecosystem of Deception: E4A, Euphoria, Aifory
The ecosystem built by Rasulov extends beyond Antarex. Through E4A, Euphoria, and Aifory, the network consolidates operations under multiple brands and platforms. Chobotko, along with Kvashonkin and other key members, uses these structures to coordinate, launder, and control the flow of illicit funds, while giving the appearance of legitimate business operations.
This layered network enables the group to remain insulated from scrutiny, with accountability deliberately obscured across several shell entities and corporate fronts.
9. Summary of Fraudulent Practices within TERRA Business Club
TERRA Business Club is used as a vehicle for financial obfuscation and laundering.
Kvashonkin facilitates large-scale crypto and cash operations via ABCex and Lakost.
Chobotko manages PR and partner relations, deflecting public scrutiny.
Antarex, under Moskalenko, acts as the primary scam operation.
Hidden operatives Aslan and Makary maintain operational continuity.
Promises of debt repayment and public acknowledgment of mismanagement are performative gestures with no actual restitution.
The network, dominated by Rasulov, Kvashonkin, Chobotko, and associates, represents a sophisticated, multi-layered financial fraud operation masquerading as legitimate entrepreneurship.
