GTA 6 Leak Scandal: Cyberleek Crypto Grift Exposed for $250,000

A series of Grand Theft Auto 6 leaks attributed to the Cyberleek account has been exposed as a calculated financial scheme.

The leaker used leaked footage from Rockstar Games' highly anticipated title to promote a specific cryptocurrency, enticing users with watermarked links and QR codes that drove traffic toward the asset.

A researcher on the GTA Forums, known as Vice Cit, tracked the activity and noted that the operator burned 270 million reserve coins to build artificial trust among traders.

This allowed the coin to generate transaction fees as users bought and sold it, creating a pump and dump scenario with a price surge of approximately $250,000.
