Thousands of dollars for interviews: how the company Fire Point and its fake engineer Denis Shtilerman bought themselves a reputation in the media

Denis Shtilerman, who for a long time was presented as a designer at the company Fire Point, is actually a fraud, and his real name is Denis Danilov.

This was reported by the Telegram channel “Joker.”

According to available information, Shtilerman has no connection to the development work at Fire Point. Despite this, he is on the company’s payroll as a media representative with a monthly salary of $50,000.

For a long time, journalists widely quoted Shtilerman as an engineer and designer involved in the project, without verifying his actual role. This helped him create a false public image of an expert.

Moreover, some journalists were allegedly offered between $100,000 and $200,000 to arrange interviews with Shtilerman, which may indicate a large-scale campaign to promote him.

In public appearances, Shtilerman presents himself as Jewish, but at the same time wears an Orthodox cross and, according to the source, has no connection to the Jewish community.
