Jeffy Yu, the Zerebro co-founder who faked his personal suicide earlier than exploiting the following controversy to launch a legacy-themed crypto token, has been discovered alive at his mother and father’ home in San Francisco.
Yu apparently killed himself on a Pump Enjoyable stay stream, shortly after he printed a manifesto on the idea of “Legacoins” — a time period he created for a brand new sort of memecoin that may in some way enshrine a lifeless individual’s crypto holdings.
Nevertheless, unsurprisingly to many, Yu’s grisly “demise” and the following on-line obituary — deleted a number of days later — that appeared to substantiate his demise have been all faux.
Certainly, George Kelly, writing for The San Francisco Commonplace, discovered the 22-year-old alive and properly, wearing flip-flops, within the Crocker-Amazon neighbourhood of San Francisco.
When requested about his false obituary and the way he could have profited, Yu declined to remark and as an alternative complained that he had been “doxed” and “harassed.”
He stated, “If you can find me, other people can find me. Now I have to move my parents out of here this week.” Yu added, “You can see the PTSD in my eyes, right?” earlier than asking Kelly to depart.
Shortly after his staged demise, Yu’s Mirror account posted a message selling his so-called “legacoin” $LLJEFFY. “If you’re reading this,” it stated, “it’s because my 72-hour deadman’s switch triggered, so I’m not here, at least physically.”
Nevertheless, many had already began to doubt that every one was because it appeared. Certainly, eagle-eyed sleuths had already deduced that the flash of the “gun” on Yu’s livestream was merely an orange gentle from elsewhere within the room.
Different customers on-line found that an tackle created by Yu started dumping Zerebro tokens and began sending funds to the identical tackle that created $LLJEFFY.
Crypto analyst Bubblemaps discovered that $1.4 million of ZEREBRO was bought.
