A few days ago we reported on some of the video game industry names mentioned in the Epstein files. Emails were exchanged between Epstein, Pablos Holman, and former Activision CEO Bobby Kotick regarding microtransactions in Call of Duty, and were also banned from Xbox Live for various violations.
Rockstar Games president Sam Houser and former GTA lead Leslie Benzies (now co-CEO of MindsEye developer Build A Rocket Boy) were also cited, later accused of sexual harassment. It is important to note that referring to files does not link them directly to Epstein. In a new development, Build A Rocket Boy's other co-CEO, Mark Gerhardt, has issued a cease and desist order against the YouTuber for making a video about Benji's presence in the Epstein files.
Cease and desist released by MindsEye CEO on Epstein video
As reported by Kotaku, YouTuber Cyber Boi has published an 18-minute video purportedly titled 'Leslie Benzie is in the Epstein Files'. This led to Gerhard, who was not the CEO mentioned in the fileThreatens to issue a ban and further legal action against the cyber boy. As a result, the video has now been removed.
“It's extremely disappointing to learn that some BARB employees continue to leak confidential information to you, thereby betraying their colleagues, our studio and the larger community we serve,” Gerhard wrote on the official MindsEye Discord server. “This letter serves as a formal cease and desist demand: You must immediately cease all activities related to receiving, disseminating, or otherwise using any confidential information from BARB, as well as any further involvement in media manipulation, espionage, sabotage, or interference targeting our organization. Failure to comply will result in legal action.
“Rest assured, you and your allies involved in this media manipulation cabal will be served with legal documents immediately, BARB forwards complaints alleging criminal espionage, sabotage and interference. You are all in very serious trouble.”
As Valve cracks down on Steam's adult content, the Epstein game is getting a new “update.”
Valve's crackdown on questionable games seems a bit patchy.
This is not the first time Gerhard has conspired against a developer. Back in May 2025, when MindEye was getting terrible reviews, Gerhard said he believed the bad reviews were paid for. He did not say who paid for them, but there were allegations that they were aimed at Rockstar or Take-Two. He later tried to distance himself from the comments.
