cNed’s Brother deNc Involved in Turkish Bit Scam Scandal?

Alihan “deNc” İpek, the brother of Acend VALORANT player Mehmet Yağız “cNed” İpek, got involved in the Turkish Twitch Bit Scam scandal.

DeNc is one of the few players and many streamers that have allegedly been part of a money laundering scheme that was done through Twitch. Esports Talk content creator Jake Lucky made a statement about the controversy on Twitter.

In fact, the discord conversation between deNc and the person who sent bits was shared on Twitter.

In the messages the scammer says:

When I send the bits, no one should be in the chat. If you say Kojou, Kerimhan knows me, I gave him a sub 😀

In the arranged fraud scheme, bits were sent to Turkish streamers through twitch from stolen credit cards. Then, the streamer sent a certain part of the money back to the scammer while keeping some for himself.

Alihan “deNc” İpek Made Statement!

Later on Alihan “deNc” İpek made his own statement to clear his name:

A person named Kojou writes to one of Mehmet’s mods for a sponsorship meeting and states that he wants to meet with Mehmet. Then the related moderator directs me through Discord and states that he wants to talk to me. After our audio interview, he said that he earned bits by watching advertisements and sent these bits to major publishers and received a 50% commission, and explained how he got bits on the screen. I told Mehmet and my “2 friends” that I was close at that time about this situation. Even those “2 friends” offered me this situation by saying “let’s go through you” in order not to get hurt, but I told them that I “do not want to be an intermediary in such a thing”.

These “2 friends” asked me for Kojou’s contact information, I have no idea how the next process went because I never spoke to them after Mehmet left “that team”. The commission in the said statement, etc. The situation I received is also not real. If there is, take it out and prove it. Also, when the issue had nothing to do with us, the arrows were pointed at me as if I laundered $100,000 or if I was the ringleader of the issue. I repeat, I did not earn even 1 TL from this business and I did not force anyone into this business.

In connected news, The Turkish government has started to investigate the fraud claims. Supporting the hashtag ‘#TemizTwitch’, Deputy Gürsel Tekin said that MASAK (The Ministry of Finance) should urgently investigate the Bit Scam controversy and the judicial process should begin immediately.
