A group of Turkish Twitch streamers have been involved in a money laundering scheme that has reportedly netted $10m.
The scheme was exposed following the Twitch data leak that revealed the top earning streamers on the platform.
As reported by Middle East Eye, a group of Turkish streamers with low follower numbers were generating large amounts of revenue through Bit donations.
Viewers on Twitch can purchase Bits in bulk and then use them to cheer for their favourite streamers to show support, offering a donation in the process. Partnered and affiliate streamers receive one cent per Bit used to cheer for them.
