GTA 6 leaker CyberLeek may have made $250,000 from the leaks
Taking advantage of the GTA 6 leak buzz, CyberLeek made a significant profit through its meme coin, raking in earnings estimated between $250,000 to $300,000. The market cap of the coin soared to $22 million, supported by vigorous trading. Instead of dumping tokens, CyberLeek earned via transaction fees. However, the company now faces the prospect of legal action from Take-Two Interactive.
CyberLeek, the notorious GTA 6 leaker, may have earned between $250,000 and $300,000 from the unauthorized leaks of nine days of footage. The primary source of CyberLeek's revenue was the $CYBERLEEK meme coin on the Solana blockchain. Each leaked clip was watermarked with the coin's ticker and a phrase encouraging higher market cap.
As the market cap rose from near-zero to $22 million, 24-hour trading volumes reached over $112 million. CyberLeek burned around 270 million tokens and collected revenue through transaction fees, claiming about $146,000 in wrapped SOL. He then sold everything for approximately $125,000 in SOL, with the total cash-out exceeding $250,000.
The financial windfall may now prove costly for CyberLeek as he faces legal action from Rockstar's aggressive subpoena campaign.
