Unfolding Events
Since mid-August, CyberLeek had been releasing gameplay footage of GTA 6, which included links directing viewers to donate or purchase their CYBERLEEK token, launched via PumpFun. The hype around the game and the group's online presence pushed the token's market cap to a peak of about $25 million.
Investigations suggest that CyberLeek executed a unique form of a rug pull, showing characteristics of a "pump and dump" scheme. They initially gained community trust by burning their entire reserve of 270 million CYBERLEEK tokens, valued at around $1.79 million at that time.
As the group posted more frequently, their content escalated to include major plot spoilers, engaging the community further. However, as the official presentation of GTA 6 drew near, the hackers opted to withdraw their earnings.
On-chain data indicates that one of CyberLeek's wallets received $154,683 in wrapped SOL and 15.4 million CYBERLEEK tokens as creator fees. Just before the Netflix premiere, these tokens were sold for approximately $125,000, leading to a 40% drop in the token's price.
Prior to this sell-off, the token had already been losing value, but the creators' actions precipitated a total collapse. Within a few days, CYBERLEEK's price plummeted from $0.03 to $0.003, representing a staggering 90% decline.
Furthermore, some wallets associated with CyberLeek may not have been fully disclosed, indicating that additional smaller amounts could have been offloaded from undisclosed addresses. Tracked tokens were subsequently moved to exchanges like KuCoin and CCE.Cash, as well as private wallets.
It seems [CyberLeek] expected to earn significantly more, and their recent video messages reflect a sense of urgency. As the token's value dropped and interest faded, they likely decided to liquidate their holdings,

This incident follows a prior event in May when the social media accounts of trader Keith Gill, known as Roaring Kitty, were hacked, leading to a sharp price surge in the RKC meme coin after a contract address was revealed.
