[Q&A] Why was it overlooked for so many years? Summary of the Q&A about the background of KDDI's 240 billion yen fictitious transaction - Keitai Watch
—The fraudulent advertising discovered this time affected almost all (99.7%) of G-Plan and Biglobe's transactions. Is it correct to understand that all but 0.3% were fraudulent, fictitious transactions? Is it correct to understand that, with the exception of 0.3%, there were no deliverables and no advertisers in this business?
Attorney Natori
I believe your understanding is correct. The 0.3% is based on sales revenue, and in this case, there were legitimate clients, advertisers, and publishing agencies, and deliverables were produced. However, 99.7% was fictitious. There were no advertisers, no publishing agencies, and no actual advertisements.
—So, with the exception of 0.3%, all of the advertising agency businesses conducted by Biglobe and G-Plan had no clients or deliverables for several years, amounting to 246.1 billion yen? How was such a business able to continue for several years?
Attorney Natori
One possible reason for this is that the business handled by this advertising agency was affiliate advertising, which is a relatively new form of web advertising.
In particular, there was a lack of knowledge among the executives, and they were critically lacking in understanding 'how the advertisements were actually being delivered.' I believe there was an element of being convinced by (former employee A's) explanation, which was intended to avoid detection.
