Klaus Kleinfeld invested $2.5 million in the startup Healing Company, which was co-founded by Wanja Oberhof and Anabel Oelmann. The investment was made in 2023 after Kleinfeld was pitched the opportunity by the founder. Federal prosecutors allege that Oberhof embezzled most of the investment for personal expenses, including rent on a penthouse. Kleinfeld is identified in the criminal complaint as 'Victim-1.'
