GTA 6 Leaker Demands $30M Meme Coin Market Cap to Withhold Full Game Release
Anonymous leaker CyberLeek claims to have a complete playable build of GTA 6 and threatens to release it unless a Solana meme coin reaches $30 million market cap.
Why it matters
The incident merges a high-profile entertainment leak with cryptocurrency speculation, creating an unusual extortion dynamic. Take-Two Interactive and Rockstar Games face potential intellectual property exposure, while the CYBERLEEK token's price action is being driven by the leak narrative rather than fundamentals.
