GTA 6 Leaker Ties Lucia's Outfits to Crypto Scheme in New Threat

Ever heard of a leaker trying to fund their next big reveal with a cryptocurrency scheme? Well, that's exactly what's happening with the GTA 6 leaks. The notorious leaker, known as Cyberleek, has come up with a wild new threat: they'll release a build of GTA 6 with the full story mode played to the end if their memecoin reaches a $30 million market cap.

According to online reports, Cyberleek updated their website with this warning, framing it as a protest against the lack of a physical disc version of GTA 6. They're demanding that Take-Two release the game on-disc and issue a public apology. But here's the kicker: it's unclear whether they mean to release an actual playable build or just a video playthrough of the full story. Either way, it's a bold move.

For those not deep into crypto, a market cap is the total dollar value of all coins in circulation. Right now, Cyberleek's coin sits at just $3.8 million, having spiked to $5.7 million earlier today when news of this message hit social media. Reaching $30 million seems like a long shot, to put it mildly.

But that's not all. Cyberleek has also tied the clothing of Lucia, one of the game's protagonists, to their crypto goals. At a $2 million market cap, they threatened to release gameplay showing Lucia in a bikini. At $4 million, they promised gameplay with Lucia "fully naked." Yeah, it's getting weird.

Unsurprisingly, fans are skeptical. Many are accusing Cyberleek of running a straight-up crypto scam, criticizing anyone who puts money into their memecoin. "What a dork," one person said. "Anyone who puts money into this deserves to lose it all." Ouch.

Cyberleek went dark after a spate of high-profile leaks in August that sparked an investigation from Take-Two, Rockstar's parent company. They even issued subpoenas to Discord and others in the hunt for those responsible. But Cyberleek resurfaced this week with a 24-minute gameplay video showing cutscenes, story beats, playable characters Jason and Lucia naked (including full-frontal nudity for Jason), and a first-person camera. How they got this footage remains a mystery.

Back in August, Rockstar addressed the leaks, calling the situation "heartbreaking" for the dev team and "unfortunate" for fans. They acknowledged that the intended experience "may now be impacted by some spoilers," but confirmed GTA 6 is still launching on November 19. Meanwhile, analysis of crypto transactions suggested the leaker cashed out around $270,000 in late August. Every video they post points to a website where fans can pay to vote on further leaks using their cryptocurrency. A new poll is reportedly live now, hinting at yet another leak.

Whether Cyberleek ever gets caught depends on how successful Take-Two's legal team and authorities are at forcing social networks or crypto exchanges to hand over personal details. For now, the leaker remains at large and defiant. So, what do you think? Will this crypto scheme actually work, or is it just a desperate bluff? Let us know in the comments.
