Last November, Zerebro took advantage of the AI boom and the "Trump effect" and its market value once reached 800 million US dollars. On-chain data shows that Jeffy used 5 SOL to purchase 153 million $ZEREBRO, accounting for 15.32% of the total, with a floating profit of up to 42.96 million US dollars.

But the market is ruthless. After the AI craze faded, $ZEREBRO's market value fell to $350 million. As a co-founder, Jeffy tried to save the situation and posted on X that Zerebro was optimizing its content generation strategy and interacting with the community through voting.

Jeffy also provided financial support to the $ZEREBRO creator address 92prXk through BD2bQv. The $ZEREBRO creator address then provided financial support to 5Ko12hAg (marked as an active wallet), which sold $170,000 worth of $ZEREBRO after Jeffy's "death".

In addition, after the $LLJEFFY creator address G5sjAj launched the token at 5:25 UTC on May 4, it frequently traded and destroyed tokens with multiple associated addresses (including 54Pdyk,
