So, “SPEEDFLOW UKRAINE Ltd.” (Unified State Register of Enterprises and Organizations of Ukraine number: 32288467, address: 65044, Odessa region, Odessa, French Boulevard, building. 33-A, Office 3). There are 11 other legal entities registered at the same address, so the address is fictitious.
Registration date: December 11th, 2002
Authorized persons: Zhanna Vladimirovna Karpelenya – signatory (representative). Presumably – Vlad’s sister. She is also a co-founder in the amount of 1% of the authorized capital ($15).
Another founder is SpeedFlow Communications Limited, Great Britain. We will return to it later.
Main activities: 62.01 Computer programming and 26.20 Production of computers and peripheral equipment, 63.12 Web portals.
Vlad began to actively develop the IT direction, but in order to avoid paying taxes, already in 2005 he registered as a Ukrainian individual entrepreneur, with the same types of activities.
A year before, Vlad registered the Speedflow Company in the UK. But it was just needed.
Having started working in IT in 2002, Vlad felt that clients were attracted to English companies more than to Ukrainian ones. Moreover, he had experience with Liberty Commerce Ltd., this company als did not conduct any activities in England but had registration for better reputation and more presentable look.
This is the company Vlad shows in his official resume on Linkedin. It sounds proudly “Director and owner of an English company.” It doesn’t matter that it is registered at a fictitious address, has changed it many times, and only submits “Reports of an inactive company” (https://find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk/company/05049330/filing-history?page=3). This is perfect for creating the image of a successful businessman. The truth is for fools, but still suitable.
In general, Vlad realized that publicity is necessary and he should look as successful as possible to attract clients. That’s why he has a lot of Internet projects, websites, publications, social networks, etc.
We can’t judge what kind of IT specialist Vlad is, let his clients say that.
As we understand, Vlad’s eldest son runs the IT company for a long time, and Vlad himself has lost interest about it.
This suggests that Vlad does not bring anything to the end, gives up everything halfway, and tries to find himself in those areas where he is neither a proffecional nor an expert.
We will also look at Vlad as a businessman and business partner.
Let’s go back to the “UKRAINIAN PROJECT”.
In 2015, Vlad registered another legal entity in Ukraine with the name “RING 1” Ltd.(EDRPOU: 39966238), also in Odessa, where he is still listed as a director.
All business projects in Ukraine (individual entrepreneur, “SPEEDFLOW UKRAINE” Ltd.and “RING 1” Ltd.) are currently abandoned by Vlad, are not liquidated and are not conducting business activities. And this was long before the start of the war in Ukraine.
Vlad didn’t even close the business structures, just went to Bulgaria, leaving the companies to their fate and with debts.
Therefore, the results of Vlad’s business activities in the “UKRAINIAN PROJECT” are not just none, but one might say negative.
At the very least, he could close the companies and not create problems with reputation and other things.
But this is not Vlad’s style of behavior. It’s better to pretend this didn’t happen and not mention it anywhere.
So, for the “UKRAINIAN PROJECT” there is a big minus.
