Amirhossein Sharifian: Unraveling the $77 Million Korosh Company Scam

As the investigation into the Amirhossein Sharifian and the $77 million Korosh Company scam unfolds, authorities are meticulously examining the company registration process. Questions about how an individual with a history of evading military service managed to establish and run a company are at the forefront.

The controversy revolves around promises of iPhones, valued at 20 million tomans each, which attracted payments from approximately 20 thousand individuals. The extensive urban and virtual advertising campaigns orchestrated by Sharifian played a crucial role in collecting these pre-sale payments.

Amirhossein Sharifian’s father, Farzin Sharifian, has already been arrested, and assets linked to the family have been seized, intensifying the legal implications of the case. The investigation is shedding light on potential regulatory lapses in company registration, with particular emphasis on the need for key positions such as CEO, board members, or auditors to possess a termination of service card, a requirement that Sharifian seemingly did not meet.
