(Hürriyet Newspaper, 13 May 2023)














There's no such thing as a victimless crime. Just ask Harun D.

Harun D., the leader of a fraud gang that bilked people out of 3 billion (!)
TL (about $1.5 billion) with fake gambling websites, rejected the 
accusations made against him and declared that "I'm the victim here!"

On 4 May, an Izmir-centered raid was conducted by police under the name 
"Spring Cleaning" that nabbed 220 out of 266 suspects in 40 provinces 
for a laundry list of internet crimes focused on illegal betting that brought
the gang about 3 billion TL.  49 of the suspects taken into custody were
jailed and 135 were released.  None of them confessed to the crimes and,
in fact, gang leader Harun D. (60) claimed that he lost 8,500 TL when he
set up the "company".  Nevertheless, police determined that over the past
three months 229 million TL (about $11.5 million) has passed through 
Harun D.'s "company"'s bank account. (!)

                    It's simple: you gambled and you lost.
