>It seems a pretty small prize for gaining the attention of the world's authorities

In many countries $250000 can easily last entire lifetime and rockstar does not have magical cooperation from the whole world's authorities, in fact there are more authorities that won't give any fuck about them than there are who will.

It can last a lifetime, but if the leaker is 20 years old then the average draw would have to be about 4k a year, say 5k a year to account for interest. There's about $400/mo, which is great to have in every country but it's also not all that much. Maybe free rent for life.

That amount is something someone would have to work for 50~ years in brazil with minimum wage (if both get increased by inflation ofc), its not just "not all that much"

Minimum wage sure sounds like not all that much man

u/cadaada Aug 28 '26

thats what happens when 70% of the population earns double that or less

u/Tiny_Micro_Pencil Aug 28 '26

I think you mean half

u/cadaada Aug 28 '26

no, 70% earns up to two minimum wages, i just wanted to point out it was double the minimum wage 😅

Somewhere in the rural areas of Kazakhstan you can live your life perfectly fine on $400/mo, and no Rockstar will ever get you there.

u/Able-Swing-6415 Aug 27 '26

But you're also living in rural Kazakhstan.. so I guess you win some, you lose some

Access to some of the best potassium in eastern Europe, it's a win, win situation!

u/Caipirinha-Aguada Aug 28 '26

In rural Brazil, that money can afford you bananas for a lifetime, it's also a lot of potassium.

u/SloppiestSteak Aug 27 '26

I did hear that all other countries have inferior potassium

Watch a few YouTubes on rural Kazakhstan and you too will want to love there.

Usa bonds are publicly available and that shit is currently 5.18% for a 30 year. So even if he's taxed 40% for 150k left, he can have a 7770 salary. Thats great salary in many countries but yeah it will be less quality of life but he never has to work

buy 2 cheap houses (in many EU countries $125k per house still get you something decent).

live in one, rent the other.

now you have a house for life with all bills paid, probably food too. enjoy

It's not so much giving a fuck about rockstar but rockstar going to law enforcement to have this guy arrested.

The charges are big. Hacking a business and stealing their IP. If they indeed steal a fully functional build of the game, thats even bigger.

Illegally leaking the game.

Creating a shitcoin and profiting from their illegal activities.

Like this kind of stuff carries severe penalties and easily jail time. If this guy lives in a country with any kind of copywrite law, AML or extradition even to the US. They are going to be fucked. Rockstar is not going to stop until they are in jail.

Tbh that doesn't seem that big when you lay it out like that.

u/Radyschen Aug 27 '26

It is when you realize that that IP cost them like 2 billion

-2

u/grilled_pc Aug 27 '26

It doesn't but its still a pretty huge deal. Corps will ruthlessly protect their IP for a reason.

u/Asttarotina Aug 27 '26

They had russian language titles in some of their leaks. The only thing they could get jail time for is not sharing this build with comrades.

u/OutrageousFuel8718 Aug 27 '26

Wasn't that posted on twitter, therefore fake? Leaker said he doesn't have twitter, only the website
