Update: After much soul searching, head hunting, and deep meditation, the culprits have been found. We can all thank Valve's one and only employee, Robin Walker, for solving the case!
Original: Valve is on the case, searching high and low for the culprit who let the Spy video "leak" onto the Interwebs long before it should have been. Valve's Robin Walker just wants to reassure everyone that they're on the case and the culprit will be severely punished.

As many of you know, the Meet the Spy video was leaked this weekend. Some of you on the forum have wondered if Valve leaked it on purpose. And until we find the clown who did leak it, the answer to that is yes.
Others of you have started a petition to stop Valve from firing anyone over the leak. Once again, this just goes to show you how valuable customer feedback is to us—we hadn't even thought of doing that, but once you see it there in print, it's a fantastic idea. I've been asking people all morning who was responsible and come up empty. But now that I've started firing people, they can't name names fast enough. So far I've got sixty-seven names in the "suspicious" category, fifteen in "very suspicious", and another forty-three I'd been wanting to fire anyway.
I'll keep you posted as I track down the culprit. Rest assured, though: Until I find the person responsible, I vow that Valve will stop work on all projects.
This search may delay the release of the Spy and Sniper update by several months.
