GTA 6 Leaker CyberLeek Cashes Out up to USD 3,00,000 Using Solana Meme Coin Amid Grand Theft Auto VI Leak Saga
GTA 6 leaker CyberLeek netted between USD 2,50,000 and USD 3,00,000 by promoting the Solana meme coin $CYBERLEEK alongside unreleased footage. Despite the massive payout, the leaker now faces severe legal risks from Take-Two Interactive. CyberLeek also burned approximately 270 million tokens and instead collected revenue through transaction fees generated by every buy and sell order.
The dust has largely settled on the massive GTA 6 leak saga that captivated the gaming community, following Rockstar Games' official rollout of its Extended Look. With attention shifting away from the unauthorised footage of Grand Theft Auto VI, community focus has turned to the financial windfall secured by the individual behind the leak operation, known as CyberLeek.
The Meme Coin Mechanism
The primary financial driver behind the CyberLeek persona was the $CYBERLEEK meme coin launched on the Solana blockchain, reports The Times of India. Throughout the nine-day leak campaign, every piece of unauthorised footage shared online was embedded with the token's ticker and the phrase "higher market cap = more leeks", effectively turning each leaked clip into a promotional vehicle for the cryptocurrency.

The token experienced explosive growth, climbing from near-zero to a peak market cap of USD 22 million, while 24-hour trading volumes surpassed USD 112 million according to CoinGecko tracking data. Rather than executing a traditional rug pull by liquidating a large reserve of directly held tokens, the operator utilised a structural approach. CyberLeek burned approximately 270 million tokens and instead collected revenue through transaction fees generated by every buy and sell order.
Cashing Out and Total Earnings
On-chain data reveals that the contract owner claimed roughly USD 146,000 in wrapped SOL alongside 15.4 million tokens via creator fees. These holdings were subsequently liquidated in a single transaction for approximately USD 125,000 in SOL. Reports indicate that total cash-out figures ranged between USD 2,50,000 and USD 3,00,000. The proceeds were split across four distinct wallets, with at least 91 SOL routed directly to the KuCoin exchange. GTA 6 PC Release Could Be Sooner? Here's What We Know.
Legal Risks and Future Outlook
While generating up to USD 3,00,000 in just over a week represents a substantial financial return, the long-term cost remains uncertain. A KYC-verified KuCoin account sits at the end of the public on-chain trail, and ongoing legal actions from Take-Two Interactive - backed by aggressive subpoenas targeting platforms like Microsoft, Discord, and X - place the leaker under intense regulatory and legal scrutiny. With the financial phase concluded and Rockstar's official presentations offering comprehensive details on the upcoming title, analysts note that the window for further impactful leaks has effectively closed.
