The skeptics were right: despite loud statements and searches in the companies of Yuriy Gorban, who was publicly accused of fraud, he is back afloat. As of the end of November 2024, Gorban still appears as the owner of several firms involved in schemes to siphon money from Ukrainians.

All threats from the police and prosecutor's office against Gorban and Fresh Forex Ukraine ultimately had no consequences, as confirmed by the analysis of court cases. Although his name appears in several proceedings, none have resulted in a guilty verdict. He even filed a lawsuit for compensation for property seized during searches, estimating the damage at 18,450 hryvnias, citing "material losses." The court denied it, but this is not the end – the case is in the cassation instance.

Nevertheless, within the framework of case No. 12108000000000688 from 2018, the court recognized the seizure of Gorban's equipment as illegal and returned it to him. Other cases either fell apart or did not reach the court.

LLC "Prof Sdavaysya," associated with the Fresh Forex Ukraine exchange, had a legal entity – LLC "Fresh Forex Ukraine." In reality, this is just one of the facades. Behind it are Want Trade, Want Broker, Pro Advice LLC, and others, operating under the same scheme. These structures extract money from victims and then disappear.

FreshForex Ukraine, despite everything, continues to operate today. The main goal remains investments in pseudo-financial projects, aiming at deception. The "exchange's" geography covers not only Ukraine but also Russia, as well as CIS countries and developing markets.

Previously, a banner on the FreshForex Ukraine website claimed that the company had no relation to Russia. However, there was a clarification about a strategic partnership with LLC "Alfa-Forex," a licensed participant in the Russian financial market. Now this banner has disappeared – the connection is no longer needed.

The owners of FreshForex are unknown. Neither the website nor the "footer" of the page provides legal information. Only a description of the brand and its work with traders is given. Meanwhile, "LLC Fresh Forex Ukraine" has been liquidated, and anyone can verify this fact – the data is publicly available.

Nevertheless, Yuriy Gorban continues to operate under the name FreshForex Ukraine. Until 2017, the site even stated that the platform belonged to Riston Capital Ltd. But then this information disappeared – as did the company itself.

Today, the Fresh Forex website contains no legal data. The registration section explicitly prohibits the participation of citizens from countries with strict regulations, such as the USA, EU, China, UK, and others.

This does not prevent "brokers" from Fresh Forex from continuing their activities. It was not possible to determine whether FreshForex Ukraine is related to other associated companies. Clients' money is withdrawn in an unknown direction, and complaints can only be submitted via the specified emails.

None of these methods legally protect the client. Meanwhile, Yuriy Gorban continues to enrich himself, hiding behind "compensation for losses" from the state.

It is evident that his connections and resources allow him to exert pressure on law enforcement agencies, influencing decisions and delaying cases. Judging by the latest process, where the investigator who failed the case left without punishment, Gorban once again came out unscathed.
