Businessman and «Opposition Bloc» MP Vadim Stolar bought positive comments for his Facebook post

In the post, he urged all businesspeople to help Ukraine's hospitals fight the coronavirus.

As early as March 24, journalist Vasily Krutchak noticed a Facebook post by Ukrainian businessman and Opposition Bloc faction MP Vadim Stolar, who called on all businesspeople to join the fight against the coronavirus.

«I want to address businesspeople. Because our country and its people have given us a great deal. We built our businesses, developed, and earned money. Now is the time to repay the country that raised us with kindness. After all, people now need support more than ever. And we are obliged to help them. You can buy everything necessary for hospitals directly or transfer funds to our foundation's account», Stolar wrote.

At the same time, journalist Vasily Krutchak asked Stolar whether he would be willing to make information about the accruals and purchases public, given that the businessman does not have the best reputation and that «there are many fraudsters».

Today, March 26, Vasily Krutchak noticed the comments under Stolar's post. Specifically, that they are all too positive. It appears that all the comments were bought using a bot farm.

This is not the first time Stolar has announced a fundraiser. It was Vadim Stolar who, according to media reports, founded the Elita-Center pyramid scheme, a large construction fraud of the early 2000s. The company offered participation in building residential houses in Kyiv on favorable terms. Organizations began issuing loans for participation in the construction, and some people sold their property. It later became clear that no one was actually building apartments, and thousands of investors simply lost their money.
