The scandal surrounding jkaem continues to escalate. After being accused of skin fraud worth tens of thousands of dollars, the player admitted guilt and promised to repay his debts. However, new information has surfaced — the total debt exceeds $300,000.

Situation Details

In the spring of 2023, trader Magnus entrusted jkaem with two expensive skins worth about $11,000 for use in the BLAST Paris Major 2023. After the tournament, the player did not return them and instead made promises for a year — either planning to buy better equivalents or simply disappearing. Even after trader zipeL and the owner of the ECSTATIC organization intervened, the situation remained unresolved. Tired of waiting, Magnus went public with the story.

New Developments

Former coach kassad revealed the extent of jkaem's debts and the people he owes:

Currently, he owes more than $300,000 to various people. He personally owes me 50,000 euros, but we have a signed legal agreement. He also previously owed more than 50,000 to smooya — I paid that debt for him. BC.Game promised to cover the debt but did nothing. He deceitfully acquired skins from Hampus and several other people.

 

Community Reaction

Following kassad's statement, the community was quick to respond. One user shared that the amount owed is much higher.

Honestly, I've heard figures much higher than 300,000. I really hope BCGame fulfills their promises.

Former caster OnlyJoshinTV also commented, saying it's a complete disaster and he knew it wasn't the whole story. Additionally, one user can't understand why people continue to give him money.

How did he manage to squander so much money, and why do people keep giving him skins and money?

Previously, BC.Game stated that they were managing their player's financial obligations. However, in light of new revelations from kassad and others affected, it has become clear that the situation is out of control. While there was once hope for an internal resolution, now the question arises: what can be expected next?
