Teenager Who Allegedly Leaked GTA 6 Deemed Unfit to Stand Trial

3.6
A teenager who is allegedly responsible for hacking Rockstar Games and leaking elements of Grand Theft Auto VI has been deemed unfit to stand trial. Rockstar Games is a notoriously secretive company that keeps its games well under wraps, even up until release. Very little actually seems to leak out and when it does, very few people actually believe it until the game has already been released. With that said, last September, Rockstar Games was hacked and over an hour's worth of footage from Grand Theft Auto 6 was leaked online. This was our first look at GTA 6, a game Rockstar had confirmed was in the works but didn't give any details on. Fans were able to deduce that the game had two protagonists, including the series' first female one, and is set in Vice City. Naturally, despite the fact the game was clearly unfinished, fans were ecstatic to be able to get a look at a game that they've waited a decade for and quickly picked the footage apart for any nugget of information that they could salvage.

It didn't take long for the law to catch up to those that they suspected were behind the hack, but things went quiet last fall. With that said, we have a new update on the story. As reported by Reuters, 18-year-old Arion Kurtaj has been accused by London prosecutors of hacking Rockstar Games and a number of other companies including Uber. This was allegedly done in conjunction with the hacking group known as Lapsus$, but Kurtaj will not stand trial. Psychiatrists assessed the 18-year-old and deemed him unfit to stand trial, so the jury will have to determine whether he carried out the acts he's been accused of rather than determining a guilty or non-guilty verdict. Kurtaj has been charged with 12 offenses, "including three counts of blackmail, two counts of fraud and six charges under the Computer Misuse Act," per Reuters.

Rockstar Games has not issues any statements about GTA 6 since this hack, but the leaks are not expected to disrupt development in any significant way. Fans are hoping the new Grand Theft Auto will be properly announced later this year, but it's really anyone's guess. It's heavily speculated GTA 6 could release as soon as next year or early 2025, thanks to financial forecasts from Rockstar Games' parent company, Take-Two Interactive.

unfit to stand trial because he's unfit to do time in a prison cell
(he will be someone's bitch, and he knows it, and he's scared)

why do you ( and many others ) take these news comments on TTG SOOO serious ? lmao are you alright ???


Because some of us search for signs of intelligent life on this forum but I forget this place peaked in 2010-2013 when we were all children looking for 10th prestige lobbies. Once that died, the only reason to visit here is for 100% saves for emulators


If the only reason to visit here is for 100% saves for emulators, why do you have 8 comments on news articles this year?? Not very InTelLiGeNt of you to contradict yourself


All of them are calling out the guy I responded to, if you bothered to read the comments you'd have seen that. He seems to think that getting some news badge on a site way past its prime actually matters. That's honestly up there with thinking that reddit karma actually means something. Your attempt to call me out falls flat when you see I literally have zero presence on this site beyond my decade old posts and the news comments. Also good to see you white knight a literal bot. Not a single one of their comments contributes anything. It's the equivalent of a K in a conversation. Cheers though, I'll continue to visit this site for saves when I wanna play budokai on PCSX2 or something on RPCS3.

Also do you see the time jumps between comments? That's because I visit and see the news when I need saves for something LOL
