Kalder founder charged in SDNY: alleged $7M “seed round” fraud plus O-1A “extraordinary ability” visa scheme

U.S. prosecutors in New York City have filed a superseding indictment charging Kalder founder Gökçe Güven with securities fraud, wire fraud, visa fraud, and aggravated identity theft. Authorities allege she raised roughly $7 million using inflated revenue and partner claims—then reused the same narrative (and forged “support” letters) to obtain a U.S. O-1A visa.
