Sharing on the homepage, CNED's Acend Team announced: “CNED has no contact with the person behind the money laundering, and does not receive the bits. They have been sent without the consent or approval of CNED. The connection between bits and the fraud process related to the same person after the bits are given to streamers and players.”
“Unfortunately, CNED did not report the situation to Twitch. Instead, he chose to ignore it. CNED himself also admitted, he made the mistake and accidentally became a victim of the money laundering,” said the representative of the Acend team.
In the last stream, CNED revealed that he was a person involved in the incident when he did not contact Twitch to report. Previously, he was one of Türkiye's eSports stars to receive bits in an anonymous way. If everything goes smoothly, these bits will be converted into cryptocurrencies and divided to criminal organizations.
The money laundering scandal on Twitch has shook Türkiye Esports village, and also involved more than 300 streamer and players. There were 2 players who had to pay the price and liquidated the contract, Legoo and BBL Esports's Legoo and Logicalman. However, CNED will probably not have much trouble when Acend stood out to protect his number one star.
At this time, Acend is in the preparation stage for Valorant Champions to take place in December. Acend is one of the four representatives of the EMEA area to participate in besides Gambit Esports, Fnatic and Team Liquid. The current Acend squad includes BoneCold members (captain), Starxo, Zeek, Kiles and CNED.
