Bondarenko Arkady — Negotiator for the Conti Group

Bondarenko Arkady Valentinovich — Negotiator for the Conti Group: Evidence and Analysis

---

Introduction

Through recent investigations, I have identified several key members of Conti. Among them is Vladimir Viktorovich Kvitko (alias “Professor”), for whom a $10 million bounty has been announced. In this article, I will prove that Arkady Valentinovich Bondarenko is not merely an acquaintance of Kvitko but an active member of the Conti group responsible for victim communications.

1. Direct Identification: “Canadian from a Recovery Company”

The leaked Conti chats contain the following messages:

2021-10-01 09:47:53 | mango: "My informant, with whom we work on payments, sent: 'Please let your team understand that using the Suex exchange will cause a lot of issues. I can see conversations associated with this going forward.'"

2021-10-01 09:52:00 | mango: "This is the negotiator."

2021-10-01 09:52:27 | mango: "He is a Canadian from a major recovery company."

Facts:

• Arkady Valentinovich Bondarenko holds dual citizenship in Russia and Canada.

• His biography and property records show no indication of legitimate activity in recovery companies but indicate involvement in financial mediation and ownership of numerous companies, some with signs of being shell entities.

• On the same day as these messages (October 1, 2021), Bondarenko flew from Dubai to Moscow (EK-133, Domodedovo Airport).

2. Synchronized Travel with Kvitko (“Professor”)

Travel Pattern Analysis:

• Kvitko and Bondarenko regularly coordinate trips to the UAE (Dubai), being there simultaneously or with a 1-3 day overlap, though they almost never take the same flight.

• Key Examples:

  • January 17, 2020: Both flew to Dubai on the same day via different flights (SU-522 and EK-134).

  • May 2022: Both were in Dubai with overlapping stays but on different arrival/departure dates.

  • February 2019: Almost coinciding return trips.

 

Outside of trips to the UAE, such tight synchronization is not observed.

Conclusion:

This pattern is typical of individuals seeking in-person meetings while avoiding shared flights to obscure connections.

3. Key Episode: October 1, 2021

• On this date, the Conti chat discusses a “negotiator” and a “Canadian from a recovery company.”

• On this same date, Bondarenko departs Dubai for Moscow.

• During this period, Kvitko also regularly travels to the UAE. Furthermore, October saw a peak in Conti attacks, as detailed in a previous article, link https://t.me/RansomHunter/40
