A video circulating during the ongoing Grand Theft Auto VI leak scandal has triggered fresh suspicion on X, where users are questioning whether an apparent meeting between Rockstar Games representatives and a pseudonymous account holder was staged to help pump a crypto scam.
According to Protos, the clip appears to show representatives of Rockstar Games, the publisher of GTA VI, knocking on the door of X user @LewisBi94895348. That account, linked through the Reddit handle Pilotx1970, had appeared to predict major GTA VI leaks.
Account tied to early leak claims
Last month, the user posted, 「August 18 don’t ask me how I know,」 and also wrote, 「If you don’t believe me, come back on that date and we will see.」 The account later claimed to know the identity of 「CyberLeek,」 the main X account that has been leaking GTA VI gameplay footage since August 18.
In video posted today by the Lewis account, one of the alleged Rockstar representatives can be heard saying, 「They’re not happy with it,」 before asking, 「Do you know certain individuals under certain handles, and who are the associates?」
The post from the account said: 「One minute video of rockstar at my house The other video shows their conversation with take two and mine as well.. Coming soon. Innocent」
Protos said the people shown in the footage later voiced doubt that his August 18 post had been pure chance.
Deleted token promotion added to suspicion
The Lewis account had also promoted its 「GTA insider」 cryptocurrency across several posts before deleting them, according to the report.
Shortly after that, users said the account holder had previously been accused of scamming RC plane buyers on Facebook Marketplace. That history added to speculation that the video itself may also have been fake.
One user argued there was no subpoena for Take-Two to pursue Reddit, then claimed the uploader was only 「trying to get a piece of the pie.」 Others suggested he had hired random people in order to get 「millions of views on Twitter.」
CyberLeek uses token for fundraising and leak voting
CyberLeek says it is using its cryptocurrency, $CYBERLEEK, to raise money for a 「secret project」 while also advocating for better consumer rights across the video game industry.
That position has drawn criticism from gaming advocacy group Stop Killing Games, which said the illegality of the leaks 「risks tarnishing the reputation of our communities and our chances to make change.」
Protos reported that CyberLeek has continued to threaten additional leaks and is now using $CYBERLEEK as a voting mechanism. Buyers can decide what material gets leaked next.
One poll suggested the next leak could involve content related to a group of nudists. Another suggested CyberLeek might move from leaking free roam gameplay footage to story content.
The CyberLeek website also offered companies ad placements on its page, but only if they paid $162,000 in Monero.
Apparent SEC request mentions Sharkbux
Separately, what Protos described as an apparent request filed this week by Take-Two Chief Legal Officer Daniel P. Emerson indicates that GTA VI will include a virtual currency system.
The system, called Sharkbux, does not appear to carry the usual features of a cryptocurrency. The report said it would have no public ledger, no secondary trading, and no volatile pricing.
The request states that under the Howey test, Sharkbux would 「not be viewed as the offer or sale of a security.」
Online users also pointed out that the SEC filing was addressed to the Crypto Assets and Cyber Unit, a government crypto authority that was disbanded and replaced in 2025.
Take-Two reportedly issued subpoenas
Beyond the apparent SEC-related filing, Take-Two has also filed several subpoenas over the weekend seeking account details tied to CyberLeek from Microsoft, X, and Discord, Protos reported.
Protos said it had contacted Take-Two for comment on both the apparent investigation and Sharkbux, and said it would update the story if it received a response.
