In an era where tech startups preach 'customer centricity,' Rohlik Group Rohlik.cz Rohlik Fund subsidiary gurkerl.at is operating a textbook masterclass in corporate gaslighting and financial fraud. As the CEO of Illurei, I expect transparency and commercial integrity from our vendors. Instead, my team has uncovered a systemic cycle of deception at Gurkerl.at that goes all the way from their front-line delivery operations to their executive escalation management: ❌ Front-Line Fraud: Delivery drivers systematically misappropriating returned deposit bottles and reusable bags, failing to log credits, and pocketing corporate value. ❌ Glitch-Ridden Tech: Promoting non-functional, error-prone "AI shopping assistants" that mask massive system glitches. ❌ Deceptive Offboarding: When caught red-handed, their support team unilaterally deactivates corporate accounts to "zero out" balance-sheet liabilities and evade financial audits. As explicitly proven by our internal account history, Gurkerl's written assertion that our credits were "fully used" is a demonstrable falsehood. The credit usage stops dead on 04/03/2026; the subsequent balances were simply frozen via forced account closure. We have officially escalated this matter to the Austrian Internet Ombudsman (Case), the Verein für Konsumenteninformation (VKI), and the Arbeiterkammer Wien. Gurkerl.at GmbH has now accrued an immediate debt of $156,000 USD in legal/investigative penalties to our firm, alongside a €2.36 million corporate valuation claim for brand defamation due to our good-faith, uncontracted public association with their platform. Lorenz Diederichs (Geschäftsführung) & @Oldrich Novak (Geschäftsführung) — I strongly suggest you pull this file out of your automated "Costumer Care" queue before your institutional backers at Index Ventures and Partech are fully briefed on how your platform artificially manages consumer liabilities. ⚖️ NOTICE TO COUNSEL: Our corporate entities are currently screening top-tier law firms to scale this litigation and manage general counsel affairs across our brand portfolio. Serious inquiries only.
