Moldavian crypto guru Sergey Gutsu: scammer, fraudster, and ’Russian world’ sympathizer

As a crypto guru, Sergey Gutsu appeared in Ukraine in 2018 when he realized the main thing — to a simple person eager to earn a lot quickly, you need to say what they want to hear.

And assure them that he, Sergey Gutsu, was able to break out from the Moldovan hinterland and become a millionaire because he became a successful cryptocurrency trader, reported in an investigation by Kompromat1.

Therefore, if you also want a lot of money without effort—follow me. In general, it’s like in the long-forgotten "Herbalife" commercial — “Want to lose weight? Ask me how?” "Herbalife," like its slogan, has long been forgotten since the nineties, but the principle still works. In our case—in the field of cryptocurrencies. Everyone has heard about them, but very few people understand how it works and what it really is. That’s why the “successful trader” Sergey Gutsu appeared, releasing educational videos for traders longing for a beautiful life.

Sergey Gutsu ventured into becoming a crypto guru when he understood one simple and genius thing: to teach, you don’t have to be a trader. Like in the old joke: if you can’t do something—become an expert. But to sell “training courses,” you need to make a name for yourself. To be perceived as an expert, to be known. Here, Sergey Gutsu didn’t invent anything—he simply bought himself advertising.

After this interview with the “crypto guru” 00000000000001Serezha was watched by a million viewers, selling “training courses” became simple. The first one cost 600 dollars and contained nothing but a jumble of banalities from the internet, but try to force yourself to watch at least twenty minutes of this interview (here’s the link)—you will understand that people who swallowed this outright nonsense and accepted all the unimaginable rubbish that Sergey Gutsu spewed as gospel truth will buy anything. As long as it’s sold by someone like “guru00000000000001K.”

And Serezha sold. Because they didn’t have enough sense to dig around the internet and find out what “future crypto millionaires” are buying. The video titled "Who is Serezha 01k,” where they tried to reach out to Sergey Gutsu’s followers, gained only 94,000 views. Against the backdrop of a million who watched the promotional video from The Interviewer mentioned above, it’s nothing. The video "Who is Serezha 01k” is available, you can watch it. In short, it tells the story of a young man from the Moldovan hinterland who, starting with minor fraud in childhood, began making money by luring people into betting and then moved on to cryptocurrency scams. The comments under the video confirm this, they are much more like real reviews rather than the obvious bot comments under Sergey Gutsu’s advertising.

But who delves into the essence? The main thing is not to say smart things, the main thing is to seem smart and successful. And this was emphasized by the pre-prepared questions and answers, from which it followed that Sergey Gutsu spends tens of thousands of dollars on himself and earned it all as a trader. In general, "want to be rich—ask me how."

Gutsu himself, by the way, repeatedly mentions in his numerous promo interviews that he does not write his “training videos” himself, as well as that he “scammed” his subscribers and advertisers subsequently. But who pays attention to this again—as long as there’s a real guy on the screen who managed to earn millions, he has that very “luxury life” his followers dream of. And all you need for this is to follow the advice of your guru. Which he sells for money. But what’s 600 dollars for advice if millions lie ahead?

Children and unformed minds always strive to imitate people who, in their understanding, are successful and tell them what they want to hear. That’s exactly what Sergey Gutsu understood back when he was luring people into scam betting on gambling. And he developed this understanding, successfully selling millions of followers the image of a guy from the backwoods who “made it.” And “can teach.” In five hours of training. How not to buy the course? After all, listen to smart videos for five hours—and you’re already five minutes from being a millionaire. And it costs 600 dollars. In the first version of the training, as already mentioned, the most banal things were sold, which can be easily found on the internet completely free.

But Sergey Gutsu was selling all of it. For which he can only be respected: selling what’s available everywhere for free—that’s, admit it, talent. Like Ostap Bender sold tickets to the Pyatigorsk failure. The fact that the sold “trading courses” from Sergey Gutsu were blatant nonsense doesn’t cancel the fact of talent. Another question is that it was pure deception. But nobody was forced to buy it, right?

Then success really came to the guy from the Moldovan hinterland: money, interviews on other platforms (also paid), a stream of new followers bringing new money. And—the acquaintance with another “crypto-guru,” or rather—"crypto-investor," Mykola Udyanskyi. Now Sergey001k is promoting Udyanskyi’s pyramids—Coinsbit, Qmall, Tidex, and other products, as a result of trust in which tens of thousands of people were left without money. Udyanskyi himself fled Ukraine and is afraid to return. And as you understand, he fears not only law enforcement.

Udyanskyi offers Sergey Gutsu to join the share and drive traffic to the “first Ukrainian crypto exchange” Qmall. You can read about what this “exchange” really is here and here. But the essence is that all its activities are just a scam and a pyramid. The main task was to sell as many “investors” as possible their own token, pump up its value, and dump it at peaks. The usual scheme known since the times of MMM. Mykola Udyanskyi and Bohdan Prylepa at least thought to cover their relationship to the Qmall exchange with a front, but Sergey Gutsu didn’t realize that these two savvy operators were fooling him just like he was fooling his followers, and registered Qmall in his own name.

And it was Sergey001k who advertised the Qmall token and urged people to buy it. And he did it exactly when the token was at its price peak. How many “investors” fell for Sergey Gutsu’s advice and bought the token for 35 hryvnias is unknown. But now they can sell it for 61 kopecks. If someone buys, of course. It’s also unknown how much Udyanskyi and Prylepa, the owners of the Qmall exchange, gave Sergey Gutsu for advertising.

The next blatant manure Sergey Gutsu promoted was WeWay (WWY). Then there was the equally “promising” project TIME. The result, as you might guess, was predictable. Moreover, self-respecting exchanges don’t trade these “tokens.” Draw your own conclusions.

Already during the full-scale war, there were blatant pyramids Express Smart Game and SPACE JAM BNB, where Sergey Gutsu already had direct access to money. And was one of the organizers.

No need to say how these “super-profitable” projects ended. Try clicking on the promoted link. Here it is. What’s the result? To be clear—the link doesn’t work. Just like that. And Sergey Gutsu did this during the major full-scale war when millions of Ukrainians lost their homes and everything they earned after years of hard work. However, what else can you expect from a scammer?

The last “hit” by Sergey Gutsu was the “Usyk Token” - Ready to Fight ($RTF). What Usyk was doing there is unclear. Apparently, he also fell for the beautiful stories by Sergey Gutsu and his long-time partner and acquaintance Mykola Udyanskyi. They were the ones behind the “first-ever boxing token.” But the same thing happened with the “Usyk token” as with previous “tokens” by Udyanskyi and Gutsu—it plunged into the abyss immediately after the fight.

But, while Mykola Udyanskyi is on the run for his projects, Sergey Gutsu himself feels quite comfortable. TikTok is dotted with his face and revelations about his personal life. Moreover, it’s unclear who’s watching this outright nonsense, but judging by the number of views, the number of followers of Serezha001k hasn’t decreased.

Since we’ve touched on Sergey Gutsu’s personal life, it’s worth noting that while he makes his money off Ukrainians, he’s a huge fan of the “Russian World,” St. George ribbons, and other imperial attributes. In Dubai, where Mykola Udyanskyi fled and where Sergey Gutsu can often be seen, he loves hanging out surrounded by Russian athletes who openly campaign for the “Russian World” and the killing of Ukrainians. Sergey Gutsu’s partner, Eva Korshik, mentioned in his next TikTok video, is a “client” of Myrotvorets. Just like Mykola Udyanskyi, by the way.

But judging by the number of followers and adherents who believe in the tales of Moldovan crypto-scammer Sergey Gutsu, all this information doesn’t interest them at all. And he continues to deceive his followers all the same. Well—let’s end with another saying: “Life is bad without a sucker.” If a person is looking for where they can be deceived, they will definitely find it. Therefore, the future of Moldovan swindler Sergey Gutsu seems quite bright. And with that, we congratulate him.
