Information published on social media and images of payment slips from victims show that the cost of filing a complaint against 'Kourosh Company' is 230,000 tomans, which, considering the number of 200,000 victims, would generate over 46 billion tomans in revenue for the judiciary. Some analysts believe that the 2 trillion toman fraud committed by this company could not have occurred without the collaboration and vested interests of certain security, judicial, and government entities, regardless of the statements and claims made by the fugitive owner of this company. In this context, it has been announced that 'Kourosh Company' has an 'E-Namad' symbol, which is an electronic trust symbol, and this issue contributed to citizens' trust in it. The website 'Digiato' quoted one victim stating that 'celebrity endorsements and the electronic trust symbol' were two factors that led to their trust in 'Kourosh Company.' This type of fraud is not new in Iran; the newspaper 'Farhikhtegan' reported that in recent years there have been '32 cases of fraud' in Iran, each leaving 'thousands of victims.' According to this report, 'common points in these types of frauds' include 'high inflation in the country,' 'devaluation of individuals' assets and capital,' a lack of 'financial literacy in society' regarding projects that operate in this manner, and 'import bans and restrictions.' Previous reports from Voice of America have mentioned several other companies, including ReyhanTak, RaziyatKhodro, King Money, Cryptoland, and Amitis, as embezzlers and fraudsters, leading to protests by victims in various cities across Iran. Ahmad Alavi commented on 'Kourosh Company': the entire regime is behind such crimes and economic insecurity. The high number of fraudulent institutions and the vast population of victims continue to draw reactions to the fraud of 'Kourosh Company'; two legal experts stated that advertisers have legal responsibilities. Reactions to the fugitive status of the owner of 'Kourosh Company' indicate that advertisers exploited public trust.
