  • The interview focused on Ben Uz's financial debts and lifestyle.

Businessman Asher Ben Uz, known for his "PodcasStudio" with his son Nahorai, clashed with interviewer Daniel Elazar on Kan 11. Elazar questioned Ben Uz about his financial debts and lifestyle, referencing allegations of unpaid money. Ben Uz, who uses luxury vehicles, was asked why they weren't registered in his name. He responded by calling himself a "genius" and the interviewer "stupid."

When asked if he admitted to "scamming" people, Ben Uz initially replied, "You can call it a scam," but then asked the interviewer not to be clever. He clarified that the luxury cars, including Mercedes models, were registered to a friend, not himself. Elazar pressed, asking how Ben Uz could maintain such a lifestyle while owing so much money, to which Ben Uz reiterated his "genius" claim.

Ben Uz also referenced the October 7th attack and the COVID-19 pandemic as periods that affected him. He admitted that a client was harmed, stating, "So a client was harmed, I scammed him." However, he later retracted this, saying, "I have never scammed anyone." He also defended himself against accusations of past fraud, attributing them to events from 20 or 30 years ago and involving business partners, not investors.
