Cognitive Dissonance of Poor Journalism: Journalists Continue Writing Low-quality Ordered Articles

Apostrophe online resource, which allegedly works according the principles of “… impartiality, precision and veracity, velocity, objectivity and balance in the presentation of information…” fed Ukrainians with another portion of fake information about NIBULON under the heading “Soap bubble” of the Vadaturskyys: why NIBULON hides its financial position”.The author of this set of sentences Mykola Tkachuk can rightly be called a professor of journalism. The wise guy who explains the causes of cognitive distortions and provides tips on how to avoid factors that prevent you from feeling happy; explains the nature of “fake physics”, does not forget to reveal the secrets of the work of military reconnaissance and the behind-the-scenes fight for mayor's chairs. For the fabrication of old fictions about our company, he made an exception and in just a few hours became a “specialist in the field of international trade, financial affairs, tax policy”.Although Mykola Tkachuk wrote that his article was allegedly based on “analysis of the situation from open sources”, in fact almost all the article was copied from the articles of Stopcor representatives we´ve been looking for over a month to submit a formal information request. At first they stormed into private territory of the company without permission and warning, showing press card with Channel 5 logo (the channel banned them from using their logo), then locked in their car, and later said they have not been released for 8 hours. We were even forced to call the police. It is those representatives who violate not only the Constitution of Ukraine, the Civil Code of Ukraine, but also the provisions of the Criminal Code. They interfere in private life of Ukrainian citizens and foreigners. By the way, criminal proceedings have already been opened against representatives of Stopcor TV for interference in private life. One more “reliable and professional” source is StockWorld “the mainstream web portal about stock market” was founded by Russian-born E. Penkovskyi. He began his career as a manager and accountant for a poultry breeding business. In 2013, he established a company that was engaged in retailing of fruit and vegetables. From 2014 he decided to conquer the publishing and advertising markets of Ukraine. In 2016, he established and headed a company active in the field of wired and wireless telecommunications, etc. All this is far from the stock markets, but the multi-faceted activities are impressive. They haven’t forgotten the statement of chief editor of the National Industrial Portal Pavlo Voloshyn that ”the credit debt of the company to the EBRD is almost half a billion dollars…”. But in fact it is Khrystyna Kryshykha, a Stopcor representative, while preparing the ordered issue against our company, decided to use the words of Pavlo Voloshyn in another context as she hadn’t found the necessary negative information about the company. Although he said that the money was used by the company “to invest in the enterprise for further development.” (Pavlo Voloshyn’s letter). Despite the fact that they have Pavlo Voloshyn’s comment, Khrystyna Kryshykha and Stopcor deceive even their colleagues.  Fortunately, vast majority of the public as well as the professional experts distinguish fakes and manipulations from real facts. We also enjoy significant support and trust from international financial institutions, which have a clear understanding of our business situation on the basis of ongoing financial monitoring of our company.  We have been advised to disregard the information mud about the company on its thorny path of investing more than USD 2,000,000,000 in Ukraine, but to continue confidently do our business for the state and the people of Ukraine.This time we will heed the advice of our true friends, well-wishers, and we will not publish a traditional meticulous denial, especially since there is nothing to refute.Due to the persistence of both “accusations” and our arguments, let's limit ourselves to some references to our previous denials so that some media could remember them at last!Financial standing of the company and cooperation with lenders Sevki Acuner, Director of the EBRD to Ukraine (2013-2018)“NIBULON is a very long-standing and highly trustworthy, trust deserving client of the EBRD. The company always fulfills its obligations and is continuing to do so. It is important that the company invests in transport infrastructure that would improve the efficiency of the Ukrainian agricultural sector and its export capacity”. http://www.nibulon.com/news/news-company/director-of-the-ebrd-for-ukraine-sevki-acuner-nibulon-is-a-very-trustworthy-client-which-respects-its-creditors.htmlAnton Usov, Senior Advisor of the EBRD“I, as an official representative of the lender (the EBRD), declare that this information is untrue. NIBULON pays off its loan in a normal mode”. https://www.facebook.com/nibulonltd/posts/1193505587437116http://www.nibulon.com/news/news-company/nibulon-has-excellent-reputation-among-financial-institutions-and-partners-for-25-years.htmlForeign employees at the company Fabrice Schuissi“… Yes, he worked for us for several years; the hiring process was transparent, foreign headhunters were involved in searching for a suitable employee, but that it is the whole “sensation”. Firstly, Fabrice Schuissi had anything to do with corporate lending neither at his previous place of work in a financial institution nor at NIBULON. Secondly, there is nothing strange or criminal about changing a person's place of work or business. It is well known that in the Western countries it is quite common to change employers. Thirdly, our company has been successfully cooperating with Western banks for over 10 years, and therefore the arrival of a former employee of a banking institution had no value in this sense…”David Clark “… David Clark, who was the head of the Swiss company, had a history of dealing with Russian business – he was not a director of Russian companies. He did not do business. He was not an operating director of a Russian company. He helped to set up the company is Switzerland. People who set it up are responsible for this company. And he was not responsible for it. Long before we set up an enterprise in Switzerland, he has already helped the Swiss companies to close this business.  He was still not engaged in operational activities. That’s all. When we learned about this situation, and that were reputation risks for our company, despite the fact that he stopped working with Russian companies, we talked to him and the person retired. We officially dismissed this person from our company. But I ask a question, who of our officials was dismissed and who of our officials was dismissed when family members were involved in Panama Papers and all these cases? As soon as we learned about it, we quit him in a week. I thank David Clark that he understood us and quit.http://www.nibulon.com/news/news-company/conference-of-nibulons-general-director-oleksiy-vadaturskyy-video-updated-part-3.htmlTrading operations and their taxation“… To have competitive advantages over transnational companies which open representation offices in Ukraine and are already funded due to loans of the first-class western banks, we are compelled to look for cheaper credit resources. To this end, having an individual license of the National Bank of Ukraine to invest abroad, we established our subsidiary in the Netherlands in 2004 and in 2 years – in Switzerland.  We have never had intentions to conceal the existence of the subsidiaries. They operate officially and within the legislation; therefore, their names – Nibulon Trading B.V. and Nibulon S.A – are close to the Ukrainian company. Economic activity of these foreign companies is under close and constant supervision of international audit companies of the countries where they are located.As individuals, neither Oleksiy nor Andriy Vadaturskyy is a founder of the Swiss or Dutch company. However, according to the constituent documents they had the authority to sign any documents as the companies’ representatives.  Thus, signature of NIBULON’s General Director Oleksiy Vadaturskyy on the documents of NIBULON Group is not a surprise; according to the constituent documents his signature is a signature of the authorized representative of the legal entity, therefore, it is in all signature cards and is recognized by both foreign and Ukrainian banks and their representative offices that provide services to 45 branches of the company. Immediately after Andriy Vadaturskyy became a people’s deputy in the Verkhovna Rada in 2004, he transferred his share to Oleksiy Vadaturskyy (in full) in the authorized capital of the company to run this share. Since then his signature was excluded from the register of foreign and Ukrainian banks”.“… In 2009-2011, when the management of Mykolaiv Commercial Sea Port and the Ministry of Transport and Communications of Ukraine illegally blocked the Preventer vessel, not letting to call to the berth of our facility. Hennadii Zadyrko, a former people’s deputy, was a temporary information voice of the port. Based on these statements about the alleged non-payment of taxes and their minimization, use of offshore zone, price cutting and so on  a letter with a forged signature of the first deputy head of SE “Delta-pilot” Mykola Shchurikov was sent to the PM of Ukraine. At the same time, Hennadii Zadyrko sent similar deputies’ appeals with his signature and signature of his supporters (other people’s deputies) to the Presidential Administration of Ukraine. Consequently, the facts presented in these letters were inspected by the Security Service of Ukraine, the Prosecutor General of Ukraine, authorities of internal affairs of Ukraine, customs authorities, and by Specialized State Tax Inspection for Work with Large Taxpayers in Mykolaiv. The facts mentioned in deputies’ appeal, including tax evasion by NIBULON weren’t confirmed by the results of thorough inspection…”http://www.nibulon.com/news/denial-of-information-posted-on-forums-and-blogs/nibulon-group-works-within-current-legislation.htmlVAT refund “… We have repeatedly said that we consider VAT to be one of the most corrupt taxes in Ukraine, but as a law-abiding company we work within the law. In addition, the amount of VAT refund also demonstrates the scope of our activities: trade, investment activities, shipbuilding, etc. For example, for the first quarter of the current marketing year, NIBULON shipped the largest volume of products for export for the entire period of the company's activity, compared to the same periods of other years. Our company has been one of the leaders of the agrarian market of Ukraine for over ten years. In the last two years, we have built two transshipment terminals, an elevator complex, reconstructed the shipyard and built more than ten complete vessels.VAT is not a privilege and we have a legal right to VAT refund. This is a kind of a marker of the scale of the company's investment and operating activities. The more you invest in the economy of Ukraine, the greater amount of VAT refund you will receive… ”We have repeatedly called on the Ukrainian media to stop spreading fake and false information, but the desire to get easy money overshadows everything. They publish everything without checking the facts; based upon the last fake they didn't read the text at all! Otherwise, they would understand that such nonsense cannot be published. Once they do not neglect such things, the editors have really difficult times. However, we will not limit ourselves to requests and appeals. Such actions on the part of the media will necessarily be given a legal assessment. We are currently collecting relevant material and it takes some time. We know the names of people who ordered the article. It is a pity that the “reformers”, who can do nothing for the development of the Ukrainian economy, spend a lot of money and time on such things.We will prove that such publications are fake with our investment projects on construction of river terminals and modern cargo fleet, reconstruction of the shipyard, revival of navigation on the rivers. We are grateful to all who support us.P. S. On the information wave about the inclusion of Oleksiy Vadaturskyy and NIBULON in the Russian sanctions list, we offer you to search for foreign real estate not only in Europe, but also in Russia.  Good luck!
