From waiter to stock manipulator! They made a deal with the boss and robbed a small investor
An operation centered in Istanbul was conducted last April targeting stock market manipulator Onur Yılmaz and his team. Twelve of the 15 suspects, including Yılmaz, were arrested as part of an investigation launched by the Istanbul Chief Public Prosecutor's Office on charges of "establishing a criminal organization and market fraud."
According to Sabah newspaper, it was revealed that Onur Yılmaz (32), the leader of the organization, and Murat Güler, a member of the organization, had become informants during the investigation. The prosecutor's office reportedly launched the investigation on charges of "establishing a terrorist organization" due to organized activity on Telegram and social media.
It was determined that Yılmaz and his team manipulated the stock of Marka Yatırım Holding Anonim, a publicly traded company, between March 2, 2023, and April 14, 2023. The stock, which was 4.00 in March, rose 596 percent to 28.92 in the period leading up to April 14.
According to information included in the investigation file, Yılmaz and his organization marketed "Marka" shares through the X account "onylm29 " and the Telegram account "Onur Endeksi" to attract small investors. Meanwhile, the network sold their shares, generating a total profit of 73.217 million lira.
Waiter at a Restaurant Onur Yılmaz started working as a waiter at his father-in-law's restaurant in Ankara Gölbaşı in 2021 and around this time he became interested in the stock market.
