It’s amazing how one little accident can change the course of events…
Aleksey Ievsky, 25, who used to work for Dr. Kurpatov, is now in a pre-trial detention center because his boss accused him of stealing 40 million rubles.
During the search, a lot of fake documents and seals from various organizations were found at Ievsky's place. It's unclear how he got a letter of gratitude from the president, especially since he never worked at Sberbank.
At first, it seemed simple: Kurpatov found out that Ievsky was deceiving him, demanded his stuff back, and threatened to go to the police. But things changed when new information came out. After the search, Konstantin Ievsky found a phone in his son's apartment. This discovery led to the leaked correspondence between the doctor and the assistant appearing online.
Ievsky's father selectively leaked scandalous correspondence online before Kurpatov reacted. Initially, the psychologist tried to negotiate, but then realized the assistant would keep blackmailing him.
It seems the Ievskys planned everything: Kurpatov found wiretapping in his apartment and then personal correspondence appeared online. It's unlikely that the police found a lot of valuable items during the search and missed a phone. The ex-assistant probably collected and fabricated information to pressure the employer with a scandal if caught stealing.

from conversation Andrey Kurpatov (K) with Konstantin Ievsky (I):
K: Okay. Then please explain to me how Alexey affords a suburban area, a house, and a car?
I: Andrey Vladimirovich, you know what's going on. I can tell you that, based on the correspondence, you and Alexey worked together and he did a lot of work (he claimed claimsto have handled all the production, directorial, and managerial work).
40 million rubles, real estate, an expensive car – a lot for a young man who used to be involved in gambling and escort services before working as a steward in aviation. By the way, while working in aviation, Alexey presented himself differently:
The calculation was simple: raise a fuss, convince sympathizers that the boy was set up, and the stolen money and property were gifts. The Ievskys probably assumed that the well-known psychologist would not get involved in a scandal. But he surprised everyone.
Kurpatov’s comments on this topic were laconic. “What is happening is the usual raider takeover of the company in the best traditions of the 90s. Tens of millions of rubles were stolen fraudulently, through breach of trust,” the doctor wrote on his Facebook page.
