"Some resourceful people have pointed to this man for the possible theft, or contribution to the distribution of half life 2's source code. See this message board for more information.
HL2world.com can confirm that someone claiming to be Grim has admitted to distributing the file on usenet, but not stealing the file. We cannot confirm it was actually him in IRC (when he admitted it), but he was an op of the channel, which is their clan's IRC channel.
From the post:
"The leaker was [GSM]Grim. That is who posted it on Usenet before anyone on IRC even had it. I did some googling and with the help of Derek (TheAmazingXemo) we figured out who this is. Please see: http://www.cracksmokingmonkeys.net/members.php?m=grim for a picture of the person who either 1) hacked valve or 2) was very close to the people who did. I already emailed valve with all of the information I have."

* Bryan laughs at the hl2 forum post about him
dude. i helped distribute it on usenet. i did not hack valve to get the code, i did not compile the code, and i am not distributing it to anyone else.
hope you told them that
sucks, its obvious youre not the one that stole it
you wouldnt have sent it out under your name
er? told who? if you're going to blame anyone for causing widespread distribution of the source, you might as well blame slashdot.
what sucks is they are going to give you alot of shit
feedbag is right
have you seen how many people have posted the torrent there?
if you WERE him.... you WERENT here
yeah but they all got it from you

«Nick» Bryan is now known as Grim
did you call a lawyer?
«Mode» blank sets voice status on Grim to 1 on #cs
no? because i don't expect legal repercussions over this. they're probably more likely to blame the person that leaked it.
remember they grabbed that kid who spread the last big worm, and he didnt write the code?
Bryan, I work at R*, I couldnt help but notice a blatant accusation by a VE3D/IGN staffer on their forums http://ve3dboards.ign.com/message.asp?topic=13402940
not very smart on his part
* Grim is setting up to reply to this.

You work at Rockstar? Cool..
make sure you get a screenshot/text.etc of that post at VE, I would sue their balls off
I replied on the ign boards already, incidentally
yeah thats the coolest thing.....
oh well dude
you are in serious trouble
even though you didnt steal it
Note: I spoke to who is supposedly Grim over IRC, and he claims he only distributed to usenet after finding it on a bittorrent. He claims no responisibility for the file. There is a log within this article of an IRC chat I had with Grim. "
donno how reliable it his but maybe its worth someone to try to find out
