One of the most shocking events of the entire year 2022 in the industry was the release of a large number of files related to GTA 6. An 18-year-old young man, Arion Kurtaj, was responsible for the upcoming Bomb from Rockstar Games was revealed before its time, so the scandal was enormous.
In exchange for preventing all content from leaking, the criminal blackmailed the company into meeting his demands. This method of action was not foreign to him, since Kurtaj was part of Lapsus$, a group that managed to hack companies of the caliber of Nvidia, Uber, Revolut and in many cases demanding a ransom for the data.
Although he has been imprisoned since September 2022 and has had a lot of time to think, the truth is that It doesn’t seem like Kurtaj has learned to reconsider his actions . As reported by Insider Gaming, the boy appeared at a court hearing, although the most striking statement came from psychiatrist Claudia Camden-Smith.
She claims that during one of the assessment sessions with Kurtaj, he admitted to her that he had been very clear that he would commit criminal acts again once he was released. Obviously, these kinds of statements do not help the defense of the accused and do not encourage the prosecution represented by Kevin Barry.
Currently, Kurtaj has requested a 12-week hospitalization order since he supposedly suffers from mental illness, which was already revealed a few months ago. We will see what the fate of the young man will be in the future.
