On-chain logs indicate money moved through multiple wallets and at least two withdrawal methods, suggesting multiple parties behind Cyberleek; catching culprits may depend on exchanges and networks handing over user data.
The GTA 6 leaker known as Cyberleek cashed out roughly $250,000 to $270,000 in cryptocurrency on August 26, just hours before Rockstar Games' official gameplay reveal Game Rant. The leaker had created CYBERLEEK, a Solana-based memecoin, to monetize leaked footage of the highly anticipated game. On-chain analysis showed $268,000 in transaction fees moving across multiple wallets through exchanges like KuCoin and CCE.Cash Finbold, suggesting the leaker or multiple parties were moving funds fast.
The cash-out triggered a price collapse for CYBERLEEK, which had hit a $25 million market cap just three days earlier CryptoNews. The leaker also burned 270 million CYBERLEEK tokens worth roughly $1.79 million — a move analysts say was meant to build trust while the culprit quietly sold GamesRadar. Catching the perpetrator now depends on whether crypto exchanges and blockchain networks cooperate with law enforcement by sharing user data Finbold.
A Profitable but Risky Scheme
The leaker started with a modest investment. Setting up the CYBERLEEK project reportedly cost around $29,000 Finbold. Within weeks, the memecoin soared — netting the culprit roughly $241,000 in profit. This massive jump attracted attention from the crypto community and blockchain watchers who began tracking every transaction GamesRadar.
Token Burn and the Trust Play
On August 26, Cyberleek burned 270 million CYBERLEEK tokens in what analysts call a classic "pump and dump" move GamesRadar. Burning tokens reduces supply and usually boosts price. But in this case, it happened right as the leaker withdrew funds. The timing suggests the token burn was designed to keep the community calm while insiders cashed out IGN.
Money Trail Points to Multiple Parties
The $268,000 withdrawal used at least two different exchanges and multiple wallets Finbold. This suggests either one person trying to hide their tracks or multiple people behind Cyberleek taking their cut. Law enforcement can trace these moves on the blockchain, but catching culprits requires exchanges to hand over customer data CryptoNews.
Rockstar Confirms Leaks Ahead of Official Reveal
Rockstar Games confirmed that multiple leaked clips were authentic Mashable. The leaked footage included beach cycling scenes, a video game store, a police chase, and Lucia's prologue. On August 26, hours after Cyberleek's cash-out, Rockstar announced it would show official gameplay via Netflix Mashable. By then, the leaker had already moved on.
