It’s just that, a month has passed, entering this October, this ‘compensation’ fund has not been returned by Jouska, as complained by one of his former clients, namely Daisy. This former client refused to give her real name for her safety.
He explained he had waited until the period mentioned by Jouska, September 1, for the refund process. But after that period he still didn’t get any clarity, even Jouska’s side tended to dodge.
“I asked the Jouska, the employees turned out to be laid off and there were rights that were not paid and difficulties were also in contact with Jouska,” he explained to CNBC Indonesia, Friday (2/10/2020).
“I asked Indah Hapsari [Co-founder Jouska] he directed me to the name Jouska Indonesia Legal Admin. I asked him many times when he said it was verification, “he continued.
This led Daisy to finally join other customers who chose legal channels to solve the problem.
At the beginning of September, to be precise on September 3, as many as 10 of Jouska’s clients, in their report to the police, stated that there had been financial losses which had not been resolved by Jouska.
That is why this issue has led clients to complain about the CEO and Founder of Jouska, Aakar and their affiliated companies to Polda Metro Jaya.
One of Farid Ganio Tjokrosoeseno’s clients said he had suffered a big loss. However, he did not mention the nominal amount of the losses he had suffered.
“The financial losses we have suffered are large, so it is time to be resolved legally like we are doing now,” said Farid, in Jakarta, Thursday (3/9/2020).
Farid said that when he entered into a cooperation contract with Jouska, he had already discussed the financial arrangement plan. In practice, he has contracted with several alternating corporate entities.
“Until then there was a loss, there we felt that there was something that needed to be resolved. There we then tried to solve it, but nothing happened. That then made us go this way,” explained Farid.
On this Thursday, lawyer for 10 of Jouska’s clients, Rinto Wardana, said that he had reported the three affiliated companies and Aakar to Polda Metro Jaya for fraud.
Apart from fraud, violations were reported related to fake news and money laundering crimes.
