💸 The GTA 6 leaks were a crypto scheme — and a profitable one

An account called Cyberleek spent days releasing GTA 6 footage under the cover of protesting physical media's decline. Every post pointed to a site where fans voted on future leaks using Cyberleek's own token.

Crypto analyst Vice Cit had called it a money scheme from the start — and overnight it concluded. Fee revenues moved into multiple wallets and were withdrawn. Total: ~$270,000, against a $29,000 setup cost. Multiple withdrawal routes suggest a group rather than one person. Identifying anyone now depends on Rockstar's lawyers pressuring exchanges and platforms to hand over data.

The leaks are likely done: the token was falling, interest cooling, and Rockstar's official gameplay hits Netflix today. Full breakdown via IGN.
