G. Cosmos Japan is believed to have collected 48 billion yen from about 12,000 people seeking to invest in the advertisement business. Company documents, however, show that the company has failed to pay 20 billion yen to at least 7,000 clients.

Many investors were middle-aged or elderly individuals desperately seeking to make the most of their money at a time of low interest rates.
