The Grand Theft Auto 6 leaker is still at large, and Take-Two Interactive’s attempts to track them down have thus far not worked out. But the story, as usual, continues.
Today the latest update came from Discord’s marketing director Ryan Rigney, who said that the company has not yet been served a subpoena, despite an Aug. 20 court filing saying that the publisher was looking for help from the chat app and Microsoft alike.
Last week’s court filing said it would be asking Discord for “all user accounts that are/were members communicating with the Discord server(s)” that involve “CYBERLEEK,” “CINEMATICROCKSTAR,” and “Surfer24k™ (+ replacement handles cyberleek_west, surwest),” as well as “Ødyssey.gg,” “‘! Odyssey’ public brand guild (discord.gg/odyssey),” and even YouTuber/Twitch streamer “DarkViperAU editors’ server (discord.gg/darkviperau).”
“Discord has not yet been served with a subpoena from Take-Two,” Rigney said today on Twitter/X. “When we do, we’ll evaluate the validity and scope before responding.”
The subpoenas have raised some concerns that unknowing parties could get caught in the crossfire simply for engaging with the leaker, who has been drip-feeding short video clips of the game in action for the past week ahead of its full reveal on Netflix this Thursday. They have also been heavily promoting a cryptocurrency throughout the ordeal.
The same court filings have called on Microsoft to give up “all internal Microsoft business records and investigative records associated with Microsoft’s internal investigation of the ‘cyberleek’ persona sufficient to identify the user(s), person(s) and/or entity/ies associated with that persona.”
The GTA 6 leaker continued today to post new video clips along with allowing people to vote on what they will leak next. The hunt is still on for the leaker, who will likely face charges if and when they are caught.
