Crypto Founder Jeffy Yu Found Alive After Faking Suicide, $1.4M Dump

Crypto Founder Jeffy Yu Faked His Own Death on Livestream to Promote “Legacoin,” Then Was Found Alive in San Francisco

  • Jeffy Yu, co-founder of Zerebro, was found alive in San Francisco after faking his death on a livestream.
  • Yu’s staged suicide was used to promote a new crypto token called “legacoin,” and he profited from related token activity.
  • Online sleuths and analysts exposed inconsistencies in Yu’s death, tracing suspicious transactions and debunking the livestream event.

Jeffy Yu, a co-founder of Zerebro, was located alive at his parents’ residence in San Francisco, following reports that he had faked his own suicide on a livestream. The incident took place shortly after he released a manifesto regarding a “Legacoins” concept, which refers to a type of memecoin designed to represent the crypto holdings of deceased individuals.

After Yu’s apparent death, an online obituary was published, then later removed. According to reporting by George Kelly for The San Francisco Standard, Yu, age 22, was found alive and wearing flip-flops in San Francisco’s Crocker-Amazon neighborhood. When questioned about his actions and potential profits, Yu said he felt “doxed” and “harassed,” stating, “If you can find me, other people can find me. Now I have to move my parents out of here this week. You can see the PTSD in my eyes, right?” Yu then ended the conversation and asked Kelly to leave.

Shortly after the staged death, a message appeared on Yu’s Mirror account, promoting the launch of the new “legacoin” token, $LLJEFFY. The message said, “If you’re reading this, it’s because my 72-hour deadman’s switch triggered, so I’m not here, at least physically.” Many social media users began to suspect a hoax. Observers noted that the purported gunfire on the livestream was actually an orange light, not a real weapon. Online investigators also found that an address associated with Yu was dumping Zerebro tokens and sending funds to the same wallet that created $LLJEFFY.

Further analysis by Bubblemaps, a crypto analytics provider, revealed that $1.4 million in Zerebro tokens was sold after Yu’s fake death. Questions about Yu’s motives and profit from this activity remain unanswered.

The incident has drawn attention from both the crypto community and the public, with many still questioning Yu’s intentions and the impacts of such actions on the market.
