I don't know how he paid for his fashion show. I was a buyer of him. He owe money to me and he said he cannot pay any money to me back becaues he faced bankruptcy. Whenever I called him, he said he was there. Even though he had no money back to the buyer which has to be paid, he has money to have fashion show and to invite his friends. Such a great lie! I think he is ruining turkey fashion and also turkish ppl. How do we have a business with such a unethical person?
Sorry to post here. But I want other ppl to know this fact.
