How was the community gradually dragged from within towards July 15? (10)

Now, we're on the Mustafa Özcan-Adil Öksüz relationship.
After graduating from Ankara University's Faculty of Theology in 1991, Adil Öksüz began working as a mullah in Bozyaka.
Adil Öksüz had been involved in confidential services since his university days. So, while he was a mullah on the "fifth floor," he was also dealing with the military.
After a while, he came onto Mustafa Özcan's radar.
(...)
So, couldn't Adil Öksüz have been recruited to MIT through a channel other than Kemalettin Özdemir?
Of course, it could have been.
Former MIT Department Head Mehmet Eymür also hinted at this.
We can't completely reject any option without definitive confirmation.
However, I remain somewhat distant from this view.
I am aware that this possibility has created a certain sense of relief within the Gülen Movement, and that many are particularly willing to believe it.
Being linked to a theatrical plot through MIT infiltration is considered more likely than attempting a coup and failing, or being somehow trapped.
This is understandable.
However, the fact that Adil Öksüz called the camp from Sakarya after his release after July 15th, the allegations that he spoke with Cevdet Türkyolu, the rumors that he is still in contact with Türkyolu through certain mullahs, and the fact that these rumors escalated to the point where Gülen was told, "Teacher, Cevdet Abi is meeting with Namık (Adil Öksüz) too much. This will blow up soon. You should warn him so he doesn't meet so often," demonstrates that the situation is not that simple.
The fact that Öksüz's family was initially placed in a house near the camp under the auspices of Cevdet Türkyolu, visited the camp several times, and then, after someone intervened and told Gülen, "Teacher, this will be misunderstood; we can't explain it to the public. It would appear as if you were defending Adil Öksüz," was relocated to another address via Cevdet Türkyolu.
However, this is not the same as direct interviews with Adil Öksüz himself.
Ultimately, his wife and children cannot be held responsible for Adil Öksüz's actions.
Punishment of the entire family should not be expected. Supporting a family that has been completely isolated and demonized may be nothing more than a humanitarian duty. Therefore, it would be inappropriate to label them based solely on this.
Moreover, Cemal Türk, still one of Gülen's closest relatives, is also a relative of Adil Öksüz. Therefore, it is natural that he would want to support his family.
However, the fact that Adil Öksüz continues to have contact with him, and that this is known by many people in the camp, is a situation that cannot be considered normal under any circumstances.
Furthermore, it is telling that despite Gülen's statements in an interview with a foreign television channel that Öksüz could be a MIT agent, many Gülenist leaders, including Mustafa Özcan, responded to those who questioned him, "We cannot say Adil Öksüz is a traitor. We cannot say anything without definitive information and without speaking with him." None of them made any clear statements against Öksüz.
It is also said that Öksüz's family has taken Gülen's statement to heart and expressed their discomfort with the implications.
I attribute Öksüz's behavior on July 15th to two more complex factors.
