Читайте этот материал на русском._\n\nFanny Jandrain, one of the most recognizable faces in Belgian television journalism, had never endorsed an online trading platform. But there she was, staring at her own face as she appeared to urge viewers to invest their savings using an online brokerage.\n\nAs it turns out, the television presenter’s likeness had been stolen. The video was a deepfake, generated using artificial intelligence by a group of scammers to draw traffic to fraudulent investment websites.\n\nOnce redirected towards a money-managing platform, unsuspecting users would be contacted directly by phone. They were then encouraged, little by little, to make deposits into a brokerage account, transferring more funds over time as their trades appeared to generate positive returns.\n\nBehind the site was Andrey Siluyanov, a 41-year-old web designer from Kazakhstan who had already been publicly named in a Swedish anti-fraud investigation two years earlier – yet had never faced criminal proceedings in his native country.\n\nSiluyanov was, however, just one part of a wider international criminal network, consisting of other IT contractors, proxy businessmen, call centers, and shell companies, scattered across multiple countries around the world.\n\nThe group is suspected of having defrauded hundreds of victims across Europe using their online investment platform. A five-month joint investigation by Vlast and RTBF, Belgium’s French-language public broadcaster, has revealed that the group stole millions of euros from consumers in Belgium and Germany alone — though the true scale of the damage may never be known.",
