The massive GTA 6 leaks might be done for good as Cyberleek cashes out nearly £200,000 from their crypto scheme
The leaker behind recent 'GTA 6' footage has seemingly ceased operations after cashing out approximately £200,000 from a cryptocurrency scheme. The leaker used the hype surrounding the game to promote a meme coin, which has since lost significant market value.
Why it matters
This incident illustrates the intersection of gaming leaks and financial exploitation, highlighting how bad actors leverage high-demand intellectual property for crypto-scams.
One thing has been clear from the 15 or so videos that CyberLeek has spilled onto the internet these past few weeks: the leaker really wanted you to invest in their meme coin that was plastered on top of and promoted in every single leaked clip that came from them. By going to the website CyberLeek pointed to, fans could use the meme coin to vote on which parts of GTA 6 would be leaked next - a scheme that revealed everything from general gameplay to more spoilery moments.
As reported on by IGN and spotted by crypto analyst Vice Cit , CyberLeek now seems to have transferred around 200,000 out of their meme coin and into several wallets through four different transactions earlier today on the 27th August.
