Author Job TOLOnews' Reporter Afghanistan Gold BS, a company that rapidly gained popularity across Afghanistan by promising lucrative returns and an easy source of income, is now facing allegations of a large-scale investment scam. Thousands of investors who were drawn in by the prospect of quick profits say they can no longer access their funds, raising concerns that millions of dollars may have been lost.

An investment platform called "Gold BS" or "Thomas," which launched in October 2024, has collapsed and frozen investor funds in what Afghan victims describe as one of the country's largest recent financial scams.
