A documented timeline of DeHealth's former DHLT token, its contract with Gotbit Consulting LLC, the Ukrainian criminal proceeding and the subsequent US federal prosecution of Gotbit. This page does not ask the reader to accept a conclusion. It names the documents and links the sources.
In 2022, DeHealth used DHLT as part of an experimental Web3 model and engaged Gotbit Consulting LLC to provide market-making services.
Following the loss of DHLT liquidity, Denys Tsvaig filed a criminal complaint in Ukraine. Ukrainian criminal proceeding was registered on 14 March 2022, and Tsvaig was formally recognised as an injured party.
Separately, US federal prosecutors subsequently prosecuted Gotbit Consulting LLC and its founder Aleksei Andriunin for fraudulent cryptocurrency market-manipulation practices carried out for client projects between 2018 and 2024. Both pleaded guilty in March 2025. In June 2025 Andriunin was sentenced to eight months in prison, while Gotbit was ordered to forfeit approximately USD 23 million and cease operations. DeHealth and its founders were not defendants in that prosecution.
This page provides the underlying contracts, court records and government sources relating to DeHealth's engagement with Gotbit and the DHLT incident, allowing journalists, investors, partners and compliance teams to review the record independently.
DHLT (originally branded HLT) was a utility token used in 2022 as part of DeHealth's experimental Web3 model, in which users were to control their own health data and could voluntarily share anonymised data. It was distributed through an Initial DEX Offering on 18 to 21 February 2022 across several launchpads. The token documentation warned purchasers that they could lose the entire amount and that no increase in value or return was guaranteed (verbatim quote and archived copy: Available on request).
The token-linked model has since been retired. DeHealth today operates as an AI preventive-health platform.
The US Department of Justice, District of Massachusetts, prosecuted Gotbit Consulting LLC and Aleksei Andriunin as part of Operation Token Mirrors.
In its plea agreement Gotbit admitted that between 2018 and 2024 it provided market-manipulation services, including wash trading, to create artificial trading volume for cryptocurrency clients, that it publicly marketed these services as "market making", and that client payments were contractually conditioned on meeting minimum trading-volume targets. The court filings name specific client tokens, including Robo Inu and Saitama, as examples of that conduct.
We are not aware of any criminal proceedings in which Anna Bondarenko or Denys Tsvaig has been charged in connection with DHLT or DeHealth in any jurisdiction. In the Ukrainian proceeding both are recorded as injured parties. DeHealth and its founders were not defendants in the US prosecution of Gotbit.
Anna Bondarenko has separately exercised rights available to her under Article 17 GDPR in relation to certain search results. That process is distinct from the criminal proceedings described on this page.

Independent reporting on the US case: Reuters, 12 June 2025.
DHLT (originally HLT) was a utility token used in 2022 as part of DeHealth's experimental Web3 model for user-controlled health data, distributed through an IDO on 18 to 21 February 2022. The token-linked model has since been retired; DeHealth today is an AI preventive-health platform.
DeHealth engaged Gotbit Consulting LLC under contract No. 2651 of 30 January 2022. On 22 February 2022 the token's liquidity on the decentralised exchange was withdrawn shortly before the scheduled public opening of trading. Following the loss of liquidity, Denys Tsvaig filed a criminal complaint in Ukraine; proceeding was registered on 14 March 2022 and he was recognised as an injured party.
Yes. Gotbit Consulting LLC and its founder Aleksei Andriunin were indicted in October 2024 as part of Operation Token Mirrors, pleaded guilty in March 2025 to fraudulent market-manipulation practices carried out for client projects between 2018 and 2024, and were sentenced in June 2025: eight months in prison for Andriunin, forfeiture of approximately USD 23 million and cessation of operations for Gotbit.
No. The US federal case concerned fraudulent market-manipulation practices by Gotbit Consulting LLC for its client projects. Neither DeHealth nor its founders were defendants in that prosecution.
We are not aware of any criminal proceedings in which either has been charged in connection with DHLT or DeHealth. In the Ukrainian proceeding, registered on 14 March 2022 on Denys Tsvaig's complaint, both are recorded as injured parties. DeHealth and its founders were not defendants in the US prosecution of Gotbit.
