Haluk Levent makes 'commercial' statement on social media: I'm in a bit of a tight spot

AHBAP Association founder and artist Haluk Levent responded to criticisms directed at him via his social media account. Levent stated, "My personal business dealings are separate from the Ahbap association."

Levent released a statement on his social media account following a judicial fine of approximately 70 million TL imposed on him. 

Haluk Levent wrote the following: 

"Criticism is a right. And it is just as democratic.

Sometimes I cannot do it, I cannot succeed, I cannot manage my own economy. It is true that I experience a crisis every 10 years, but this time I have created crises that I will overcome very, very easily :) 

Everything started with me paying the fees of 1052 crypto victims, even though I was not involved. Even though I did not advertise crypto, friends who perceived it that way posted hundreds of tweets. Even if there was a 1 percent error on my part, I took responsibility and covered everyone's losses.

Yes, this was something never seen before in this world. But I did it. And I bought this blockchain network. I named it HLKCHAIN. The entire crypto world knows this. In fact, my past tweets are still there.

I said, 'Since a blockchain network has been left in my lap, why shouldn't I succeed?' And a dream of mine was formed. To unite all associations in the world under HLKCHAIN and to ensure that aid is provided more effectively and faster.

We brought it to a very good place with long marathons of 1.5 years. It is currently on the MEXC exchange, but you will soon be able to see it on the world's major exchanges. I had a stomach hemorrhage last month.  I had to cancel some of my concerts. I also stayed in the earthquake zone for months before, and I did not perform in concerts (the ministry can publish my HTS records, there is no harm in it). 

It is not the case that we will be successful at every moment. But making dreams come true is my job. I believe. I created the world's most charitable blockchain network, but I experienced economic difficulties.

I delayed my payments to many places. I am still making payment plans. In short, I'm in a bit of a tight spot :) 

But thank God, I have a system that will cover hundreds of times this with the resources I have. In short, this Blockchain network will find its value and take its place as the world's most transparent and reliable aid network. I even had a meeting with UN director Najva Mekki. Our meetings continue to use the HLK chain as the world's aid network.

Last May, I explained my project to the whole world in a live broadcast at the UN meeting in Baku. This will be an aid blockchain network. Related studies, including a stable coin, will be announced soon.

This process caused me to invest a lot personally into the world's most effective aid network. So; I am addressing the friends who associate the issues I am personally in debt for with the AHBAP Association and say 'it should be closed immediately'.

My personal business dealings are separate from the Ahbap association. We are subject to regular audits every year by our Ministry of Interior. And we publish these audits. An audit was conducted 9 months ago. Hopefully, we will be audited again soon.

Afterwards, as always, you can follow our report on the ahbap.org site.

BUT WE HAVE CONTRACTED WITH GRANT THORNTON, ONE OF THE RESPECTED INTERNATIONAL AUDIT FIRMS, FOR ALL ACCOUNTS FROM THE EARTHQUAKE PERIOD TO THE PRESENT. THEY ARE COMING FOR AN AUDIT IN JULY. WE WILL EXPLAIN EVERY SINGLE PENNY ON THIS PAGE AND IN LIVE BROADCASTS.

(Let this tweet stay here)

There are friends who want to see a lot of details and invoices. We cannot publish them according to KVKK (Personal Data Protection Law) laws, but those who wish can request them from our Ministry of Interior. I have not been on social media for a long time, and please forgive me for not being able to answer your questions.

Signed 

Your brother Haluk, with his faults and virtues"

Regarding the criticisms.

Criticism is a right.
And it is just as democratic.

Sometimes I cannot do it, I cannot succeed, I cannot manage my own economy.
It is true that I experience a crisis every 10 years, but this time I have created crises that I will overcome very, very easily :)

Everything started with me paying the fees of 1052 crypto...
