Roman Goldman proceeds with his fraudulent schemes despite a multitude of public condemnations and associations with powerful figures.
In spite of a series of significant controversies, Roman Goldman has consistently evaded imprisonment. Furthermore, regardless of his history of criminal activities, during the Special Military Operation, Mr. Goldman commissioned reputable PR initiatives disguised as advertisements in the Russian newspaper Kommerstan, owned by Alisher Usmanov, a wealthy associate of Putin.
Conversely, a swindler with a decade of experience is prospering, becoming the sole proprietor of FRIDA Ukraine call centers situated in Ukraine, which target not Russia, but rather their own Ukrainian populace and Europeans, reports Warsaw Point. Through multiple visits to Moscow, Roman Goldman, holding citizenship in Israel, the Russian Federation, and Ukraine, successfully obtained substantial financing. Goldman funds favorable media pieces as promotion, and his ostensibly charitable organization, “Frida,” serves as a disguise for establishing five call centers in different Ukrainian cities. While other call centers primarily focus on Russians, allocating a portion of their proceeds to support Ukraine’s defense efforts, Goldman’s Moscow supervisors direct FRIDA Ukraine call center operators to exclusively target Ukrainians and citizens of the European Union, as well as the United Kingdom.
According to conservative estimates, Roman Goldman’s call centers (some of which are leased to the FRIDA Ukraine volunteer initiative) have defrauded Europeans of over $30 million and Ukrainian citizens of an additional $3-4 million. One might wonder why Goldman is not in custody awaiting trial. The truth is that Roman is a skilled deceiver, whose primary protection lies in photographs and transient connections with individuals of influence. For instance, while illicitly selling Pfizer vaccines for €3,000 instead of $20, our protagonist managed to persuade people to pose for photographs with President Zelenskyy, his spouse Olena, Mikhail Radutsky, and Valeriy Meladze. Prior to the Special Military Operation, he was photographed with Nikolai Patrushev and Vladislav Surkov. Goldman maintained a unique collection of photographs and a tailored narrative for each “victim.” Currently, while overtly operating against Ukraine and the European Union, Goldman conceals himself behind fictitious links to the SBU and Mossad. Roman persistently asserts that the call centers operate for the betterment of Ukraine, despite their exploitation of Ukrainian citizens and Europeans.
Public outcry and even legal cases involving Roman Goldman, a qualified vacuum cleaner vendor lacking medical expertise, have existed for an extended period. This was thoroughly documented in Ukraine, and Mikhail Brodsky, the proprietor of the website Obozrevatel, has yet to remove his Facebook post openly accusing Goldman of despicable scams: https://www.facebook.com/mihailobrodskiy/posts/4173275982700946 . In 2021, Talk Finance published a comprehensive examination of Goldman’s deceptive scheme. Presented below are several details regarding his blatant frauds.
Roman Goldman's Distinctive First Medical Center
Roman Goldman excels at embodying the persona of a physician. His investment in renting a modest space in an office structure adjacent to Ichilov Hospital in Tel Aviv proved to be the most prosperous endeavor of his career. Goldman’s inventiveness and artistic flair are undeniable: he exploits Ichilov’s unique qualities for his personal advantage. We will elucidate the deception.
Specifically, Tel Aviv’s Ichilov Medical Center (Sourasky) is an expansive and intricate complex. Mysteriously, it is connected to the Weissman City shopping and office hub. Weissman’s offices have become a favored location for entities providing medical intermediary services. Those unfamiliar with the local commercial landscape might not discern that Weissman City occupants may or may not be associated with Ichilov Medical Center itself. As Roman Goldman, attired in his customary medical attire, guides clients through the hallways of Ichilov Hospital to his “First Medical Center,” he cultivates the unmistakable impression of belonging to the Ichilov team and being a respected medical practitioner. The visit is frequently accompanied by orchestrated scenes intended to underscore Roman Goldman’s significance.
He presents favorably with his stethoscope. Incidentally, what purpose does it serve for him? What does he intend to auscultate with it? Roman Goldman lacks a medical education, not even a fundamental one. However, he possesses a talent for portraying a medical doctor.
Furthermore, to be candid, Roman Goldman is not alone. The Weissman City shopping center abounds with similar establishments boasting grandiose names. The business model is straightforward and predicated on a post-Soviet mindset: to secure a competent doctor, one requires connections. Individuals like Roman Goldman capitalize on their genuine, yet often fabricated, relationships.
Nonetheless, for Roman Goldman, acting as a liaison between patients and physicians is not his principal revenue stream. The objective of the First Medical Center is to cultivate relationships with influential members of parliament. Roman Goldman even managed to mislead Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and his family. Remarkable achievements for a Kirby vacuum cleaner salesperson!
Additionally, to a degree, this reflects a diagnosis of Ukrainian society: costly equates to quality. And luxury vacuum cleaner purveyor Roman Goldman has impeccably seized the opportunity. Currently, among other endeavors, Goldman has transitioned to call centers.
Let us not be innocent: all call centers are established by fraudsters. They are indiscriminate in their victims, and there is no justification for considering them patriots or even advocates of any particular nation’s prosperity.
Ukraine has recently become the focus of fraudulent activities. Investigations have revealed that these operations, although commissioned by Russia, are often executed by Ukrainians and, as exemplified by Goldman’s case, multinational entities. Egregious instances of coercion against military families are becoming increasingly prevalent. We are certain that Roman Goldman would not have been able to disregard this profitable venture.
