Zerebro co-founder Jeffy Yu was found to be alive and well at his parents' house after he appeared to shoot himself during a live stream

This news article from The San Francisco Standard tells the story of how Zerebro co-founder Jeffy Yu was found safe and alive at his parents' house in Crocker-Amazon.

Earlier this week, a disturbing livestream video appeared to show Yu taking his own life. The news of his apparent suicide went viral, especially in the cryptocurrency community where Yu was a well-known figure.

Following the fake suicide, a meme coin was launched in Yu's honor and accounts tied to Yu rose to $1.4 million, according to analytics firm Bubblemaps.

Yu's story appeared to begin with the launch of Zerebro, a cryptocurrency token that has a market cap of $44 million. Yu was just 23 years old and aiming to create a new cryptocurrency token to rival Bitcoin.

However, in the past few days, there were questions about the authenticity of the video showing Yu's apparent suicide.

Online sleuths began to investigate the reality behind the events that unfolded in the livestream. Cryptocurrency figures like Wonderland CEO Daniele Sestagalli claimed that Yu had faked his own death.

The obituary for Yu also disappeared and The San Francisco Standard found Yu at his parents' home.

A segment from The San Francisco Standard's report read, "Standing outside the two-story house, the supposedly gifted tech developer was agitated and shocked that he had been found after some routine internet searches."

This revelation has brought into question other aspects surrounding Yu's personal and professional life. The launch of the memecoin after his faked death is one of the biggest points of concern in the entire story.
