It is alleged that a total of $9.8 million was laundered through fraudulent credit card transactions on Twitch, primarily in Turkey. Twitch says it has taken action against multiple streamers in Turkey for abuse of the platform’s monetization systems.
According to Middle East Eye, these streamers only had around 50 viewers, but thousands of dollars were transferred in the form of Bits.
It’s alleged that hackers stole credit cards and then arranged with the streamers to donate money to them using Bits. The streamers would then refund 70-80% of the money back into bank accounts owned by the hackers, keeping the rest.
