"I mean, how exactly did the scam work? Let's look at it in a simple and clear way."
Alexandros Gygos: "So, step by step, how the scam happened.
You called Pizza Ohad headquarters and placed an order. There, the algorithm - software "firmware" (different) - identified three cases:
If the order was less than 40 euros;.
If the payment was in cash (the system saw the choice "card or cash");.
If the order was for delivery or pick up.
If these three conditions were met, the system chose the fourth option: "This check is a gift from the store." So they made money off that check because they never submitted it to the IRS."

"This is a very big question that has already come up. It turns out that the company's employees who have nothing to do with the fraud of millions are paying the price. They went to work for a salary, and now, as you said, Katrina, they worry about their future.
The shops remain closed. Ohad Pizza had about 2,500 employees and partners throughout Greece.
