Take Two Interactive released a statement today regarding the recent illegal leak of Manhunt 2 across the Internet. Reports started back in September when several people started to download a leaked version of the game and many people believed that it would be a Rockstar employee but this statement proves that wrong.

It appears that a Sony employee is to blame for this leak, according to a statement that has been read out at Game Politics; “Take Two Interactive confirmed that a former employee of Sony Computer Entertainment Europe (SCEE) has acknowledged his responsibility for the unauthorised online distribution of an unrated play-test version of Manhunt 2 submitted for the European PAL PlayStation 2 computer entertainment system.”

It's good to know who is actually responsible for this leak, and that they'll no longer be working in the industry.
