Ahmad Jahangard Takalo, who went to Van for work, was greatly surprised to see 999 billion 999 million 999 thousand 999 lira and 99 kurus in his bank account. Takalo, whose all accounts were frozen by MASAK due to the unexplained source of the money, said his work was disrupted because he could not access his accounts. Takalo, who has two R&D companies, stated that he could go bankrupt if the process is prolonged for another month or two, and asked for the problem to be resolved as soon as possible.
Azerbaijani entrepreneur Ahmad Jahangard Takalo, who lives in Balıkesir and traveled to Van for a business trip, was shocked by the amount he saw in his bank account. After learning that his account held 999 billion 999 million 999 thousand 999 lira and 99 kuruş, all his accounts were frozen by MASAK due to an unexplained money movement.
Takalo, who settled in Turkey about 10 years ago, said the incident came to light when his cards stopped working while shopping in Van. Thinking the problem was with the cards, he went to the bank and said he experienced the shock of his life when he learned that about 1 trillion lira had been deposited into his account.
"MY LIFE CHANGED 180 DEGREES"
Stating that he is an international inventor and has two R&D companies in Turkey, Takalo described the process as "both funny and terrifying." Noting that millions of lira had previously been mistakenly sent to his mother's account, Takalo said that issue was resolved quickly, but this time the situation is much more complicated. Saying that his business has been seriously disrupted due to the freezing of his accounts, Takalo said, "My life changed 180 degrees. I miss my normal life and routine. Having my accounts closed has brought my activities to a halt."
"SUDDENLY EVERYONE BECAME MY RELATIVE"
Stating that he experienced intense phone traffic after the incident became known, Takalo said he is constantly being called despite getting a new phone number. Takalo said, "Everyone is asking for money. They act as if I can use this money. Suddenly, everyone started claiming to be my relative."
"THIS PROCESS COULD CAUSE MY BANKRUPTCY"
Stating that he is victimized due to all his accounts being blocked, Takalo said that if the process is prolonged, his companies' operations could be severely damaged. Expressing that he could face the risk of bankruptcy if this continues for another month or two, Takalo requested that the incident be clarified as soon as possible and his accounts be reinstated. It was learned that the legal process regarding the issue is ongoing, and Takalo said he expects the real owner of the money to be found and the confusion to end.
