GTA 6 Leak Operation Reportedly Cashes Out Hundreds of Thousands in Crypto Fees

The entity behind the recent GTA 6 leaks has reportedly withdrawn roughly $270,000 in cryptocurrency fees as publishers and platforms step up efforts to identify the culprits.
The entity behind the recent unauthorized Grand Theft Auto 6 gameplay leaks, known as Cyberleek, has reportedly started cashing out. According to blockchain analysis shared on GTA Forums by community trackers, the operation generated roughly $270,000 in transaction fees by promoting a custom cryptocurrency alongside the leaked footage. After subtracting setup costs, the estimated profit sits around $241,000.
The funds were recently split across multiple transactions and moved to various destinations, including the KuCoin exchange and the CCE.Cash swapping service. This on-chain activity suggests the perpetrators might be winding down the campaign, though some funds remain unmovable in separate wallets. Analysts also suggest that the distinct withdrawal methods could point to multiple people running the operation, potentially separating the leak acquisition from the financial side of the scheme.
Meanwhile, Take-Two Interactive and Rockstar Games are pressing forward with their own efforts to identify those responsible. Publishers are actively working with platforms like Microsoft and Discord to track down the distribution channels. While this growing financial paper trail offers investigators a fresh angle to pursue, the identity of the person or group behind Cyberleek remains unconfirmed as the community awaits official updates from Rockstar.
