Rental fees were not confirmed to be deposited into the Toke Match company-related account.

An Osaka company that advertised itself as a "sharing service" for luxury watches and was in custody of a large number of watches suddenly announced its dissolution, and some of the watches were sold without permission. Interviews with investigative personnel revealed that no rental payments have been confirmed from people who borrowed watches, and there is a suspicion that the actual state of the business was different from the explanation.

This incident occurred when an Osaka-based company that operated a service called ``Toke Match'' that mediates ``sharing'' between owners of luxury watches and those who wish to borrow and use them suddenly announced in January that the company would be disbanded. However, many watches left by their owners have not been returned.

The Metropolitan Police Department has obtained an arrest warrant for Takayoshi Fukuhara (42), who was the representative of a company, on suspicion of embezzlement in the course of business, alleging that he sold a high-end Rolex watch he had been entrusted with to an antique dealer without the owner's permission. I'm wanted.

Regarding Tokematch's service, the company explained that the person who rents the watch pays a monthly rental fee, and the owner receives a deposit fee based on the watch's rank.

However, according to people involved in the investigation, there is no evidence that the watches they were entrusted with were actually rented out, such as no record of rental fees deposited by the person who borrowed the watches in company-related accounts. It is suspected that he had been collecting watches with the intention of selling them from the beginning, and that some of the proceeds from the sales were given to the owners.

It is known that former CEO Fukuhara left the country for Dubai in the Middle East on the day the company was announced to be disbanded, and the Metropolitan Police Department will arrange for the former CEO to be placed internationally and investigate his whereabouts, as well as investigate the company's business dealings. We are planning to investigate the details of the situation.
