THE LARGEST SMS FAMILIER IN THE WORLD (PASSION)

At the request of the American authorities, a native of Russia was arrested for the largest sms scam in the world. Millionaire from Australia Zhenya Tsvetnenko accused of sending paid messages without the consent of users. The USA has hunted him since 2016, but at their request a businessman was arrested only now.
.
Tsvetnenko is famous in Australia for a demonstratively luxurious lifestyle: expensive cars, casinos, yachts, photos with Hollywood stars. He made his fortune with lightning speed and just as quickly spent it.
.
The future millionaire was born in Rostov-on-Don in 1980 in a family of biochemists. After the collapse of the Soviet Union, in 1992, he moved to Australia with his parents, who found work at a local university.
.
Tsvetnenko lived not rich on the salary of the bride Lydia. But in his student years he came up with the idea that brings a whole fortune. The guy decided to create a service of paid sms-subscriptions. He developed a program that automatically sent horoscopes, weather reports and gasoline prices to a mobile phone. By 2005, Tsvetnenko had already launched the project.
.
In less than two years, he earned more than $ 4 million a month. Service has worked around the world, including in the United States.
.
Eugene and Lydia quickly attracted attention due to their luxurious lifestyle and became one of the most famous couples on the west coast of Australia. In 2009, they played a noisy $ 600,000 wedding, and their fabulous parties became a local legend.
.
He linked his success with hard work. "I have nothing to hide. I have never tried to deceive anyone, ”said Eugene.
.
A 39-year-old millionaire was arrested by Australian police in his luxury apartment on the embankment on December 20, 2018. It turned out that the businessman used "auto-subscription": many users did not agree to it, but they regularly paid the company Tsvetnenko at $ 13 per month. The money was included in the customer’s phone bill.
.
Tsvetnenko was able to "turn" the scheme with the help of Darcy Oued, the operational director of the American mobile company Mobile Messenger. He has already been sentenced to 10 years in prison.
.
The New York City Prosecutor’s Office has accused Tsvetnenko of conspiracy to commit fraud, electronic fraud and money laundering conspiracy. In total, he faces up to 60 years in prison.>>
