On October 6, 2021, Twitch's entire website was leaked online. The leak exposed several crucial details like source codes for the website and its phone and console versions. It also revealed the total earnings of many prominent content creators on the website.

More than 300 members of the Turkish Valorant scene are expected to be involved in the scandal. Some of the big names are also likely to be involved in this. Acend star Mehmet Yağız "cNed" İpek's brother deNc is also allegedly involved in the scam.

Some players have already confirmed they are aware of the scandal. They were also involved in the scandal as it was a "business deal", but they left once they came to know the reason behind this.

After learning all the details, many fans want Riot to take a step against the people involved in this. However, some are also worried about the future of the Turkish Valorant scene. Everyone wants Riot to punish the people if they are proven guilty.

However, Riot is yet to make any comment regarding this matter. It is expected that they may ban all the players and content creators involved in this big money laundering scam.
