Arrest took place in November 2025. � Kalder raised $7M in seed funding in 2024 at a $35M valuation and claimed strong brand adoption and growing revenue. � Prosecutors say some brand deals were only pilots or never existed. The company allegedly kept two sets of books, with inflated numbers shown to investors and even reflected on Forbes. � The same false data was reportedly used to obtain an O-1 visa, including recommendation letters Guven allegedly signed herself.
