Analytical Review of the FBI’s Version Regarding Dmitry Yuryevich Khoroshev as "LockBitSupp"
1. Comparison of Dossier Profile and FBI Version
FBI Version (May 2024):
- Dmitry Yuryevich Khoroshev, Russian citizen, allegedly known as "LockBitSupp" and "putinkrab".
- Accused of leading the LockBit Ransomware-as-a-Service group, active since 2020.
- Estimated net worth: over $500 million USD.
- Subject to sanctions, placed on international wanted lists.
Dossier Data:
- Dmitry Yuryevich Khoroshev is a real person residing in Voronezh, with confirmed passport, tax, family, and property records.
- Assets: a share in an apartment, land plots, mid-range cars (Mazda 6, Geely Coolray), salary of 17,000 RUB/month, no signs of luxury or major assets.
- Financial activity: standard bank cards, small account balances, microloan debts, minor winnings in betting shops.
- Regular use of Russian delivery services, online stores, government services, taxi and food delivery apps.
- No evidence of offshore companies, luxury real estate, yachts, private jets, large investments, etc.
- No signs of long-term residence abroad, change of citizenship, or use of forged documents.
Concrete Example: Traffic Accident Protocol
A specific, verifiable fact from the official traffic accident registry demonstrates Khoroshev's lifestyle and property status:
- Date: 2021-06-14
- Type: Mechanical damage to a vehicle by third parties
- Participants:
- Victim (driver): Makarova Ekaterina Alexandrovna (b. 1988-11-13), vehicle plate K426AT136
- Traffic Violator/Insured: Khoroshev Dmitry Yuryevich (b. 1993-04-17), vehicle Mazda 6, plate Н753ЕА136, VIN RUMGJ523802000528, year 2017
- Summary: Khoroshev was involved in a minor traffic accident while driving a 2017 Mazda 6, a typical mid-range car, not a luxury vehicle.
This official protocol confirms that Khoroshev was personally operating a used, non-luxury vehicle in 2021, which is inconsistent with the lifestyle of a person controlling a $500 million criminal empire.
2. Analysis of Digital Footprint and Lifestyle
- Lifestyle:
- Regular orders of food, household goods, electronics, purchases from Russian stores.
- Frequent domestic travel (Voronezh, Moscow, Sochi, Crimea), but no signs of international mobility or a lavish lifestyle.
- Social media, messenger, and forum activity typical for an average Russian citizen.
- Financial Footprint:
- No large transactions, no signs of money laundering or international transfers.
- Microloan debts, standard salary payments, no large incoming or outgoing sums.
- Property Footprint:
- Real estate and vehicles are typical for the middle class, no luxury assets or signs of fictitious ownership.
- No evidence of business ownership that could generate super-profits.
3. Possible Explanations for Discrepancies
- Possible identity theft or use of someone else's data to hide the real LockBit operator.
- If Khoroshev were truly the leader of LockBit, his digital and property footprint would show signs of abnormal wealth, and complex asset structures, none of which are present.
- The dossier contains no evidence that Khoroshev is hiding, changing documents, or using forged passports, which is typical for international cybercriminals.
4. Conclusion
Based on the analysis of open data and the digital footprint of Dmitry Yuryevich Khoroshev, the FBI’s version is highly questionable:
- His property and financial status do not match the profile of someone controlling a multi-million-dollar cybercriminal network.
- His lifestyle, activity, and environment are typical of an ordinary Russian middle-class resident.
- There is no evidence of ownership or management of large sums, cryptocurrency, or offshore structures.
The FBI’s version requires further verification and is not supported by the totality of open data. There is a high probability of mistaken identification.
Recommendation: A final conclusion requires independent technical expertise in digital traces, cryptocurrency wallets, network activity analysis, and international financial flows, as well as verification for possible use of Khoroshev as a "front" or "fall guy".
