Joker Telegram channel admin extorted $150,000

Troubles are once again brewing for the administrator of the Joker Telegram channel. Politician Borislav Berezha accused Roman Kravets, who stands behind the channel, of extortion. Although, in reality, this is no news to anyone.

Berezha published a post on his Facebook page, in which he described Kravets' modus operandi. First, Joker publishes discrediting articles in his Telegram channel, and then sends messages to the victim demanding a specific sum to stop the information attack and delete all materials.

The cost of the service is $150,000.

According to Berezha, the information attacks affected Epitsentr, Comfy, Nova Poshta, Uklon, Fondy, Cosmolot, Citrus, Stylus, Techno Yizhak, Monobank and others.

With the money obtained through extortion, Kravets acquired a fleet of expensive cars and real estate in just a few years. The blogger leaves Ukrainian territory without hindrance and vacations at luxury resorts.

At the same time, Berezha asks a perfectly reasonable question – why have law enforcement agencies not yet stopped the extortionist's activities.
