Twitch Data Leak Reveals 10 Million Dollars of Money Laundering on The Platform

After data related to the income of streamers on Twitch were leaked, a lot of proof came out that would be the sign of approximately a total of 10 million dollars being laundered. This series of money laundering was made through the ‘bit’ system of Twitch. The majority -or whole- of the money laundering was made in the Turkish market.

This was noticed first when some streamers -including the smaller ones- had very unstable and high amounts of income in the monthly bit section of the leaked documents. Turns out, hackers who have stolen credit cards sent high amounts of money through bits to the alleged streamers who agreed to split the money once it’s laundered.

One of the Turkish streamers who got an offer from the hackers revealed the chat between him and them. Showing in the screenshot that he rejected the offer.

Well-known Turkish streamer Jahrein, on the other hand, has reached out to the Turkish authorities and let them know about the money laundering that is going on in the Turkish market. It is said that the government of Turkey will take action against those who were involved in the events of illegal money laundering, but we don’t know if it’s actually going to happen or not.
