Where did Igor Kucher get the money for a Bentley?

31-year-old Igor Kucher, a resident of Kryvyi Rih, has become the owner of several vehicles, among which a 2016 Bentley Bentayga stands out. 

Despite his young age, Kucher already owns seven vehicles, including the expensive Bentley, which costs from $150,000 on the market. He purchased this luxury car on 28 August 2024. However, many are asking: where did he get such money?

Expensive purchases and a questionable financial situation

Kucher does not limit himself to just one Bentley. In July 2024, he bought a 2019 Chevrolet Corvette for at least $57,000, but soon sold it to acquire the more expensive Bentley. Official data on Igor Kucher’s income, available through the BlackBox OSINT system, is surprising: in 2021, his annual income was only $6,342, in 2022 — just $425, and in 2024 — $610. However, in 2023, his income sharply increased to $41,827. Despite this, official financial information still does not explain how Igor could afford such expensive purchases.

Official businesses with loss-making reports

Igor Kucher is the owner of several companies. One of them is the private small enterprise "Tisa", which is engaged in the construction of residential and non-residential buildings. However, according to financial reports, this company closed 2023 with a loss of 13,300 hryvnia on revenues of 500,000 hryvnia. 

In addition, Kucher is the founder and beneficial owner of the company "Translogistic Ukraine", which is engaged in freight transportation. The financial reports of this company are also unimpressive: in 2022, it brought in only 168,000 hryvnia, and in 2023 — 385,000 hryvnia, which is slightly more than $10,000 in US dollars.

Suspicions of illegal activity

A logical question arises: if the official income of Kucher and his companies is so modest, where does the money for buying such expensive cars come from? A possible explanation can be found in the data from the Getcontact app, which shows how a subscriber is labelled in the phone books of other users. Igor Kucher’s phone number appears in this service under names such as "Scammers", "To I Andriy Office", "Exchange Kryvyi Rih", "Andriy For Exchange". These labels may indicate Kucher’s involvement in the activities of illegal exchange offices and phone fraud, which is a source of criminal income.

Conclusion: questions remain unanswered

Despite the official reports on the income and financial position of Igor Kucher, the purchase of a Bentley and other expensive cars looks extremely doubtful. 

Judging by the official data, such expenses against the backdrop of his business with an income of $10,000 and an official annual income of $610 seem impossible without participation in dubious or illegal financial schemes. The question of where the 31-year-old Kucher got the money for such purchases remains open.
