Zerebro開發人員Jeffy Yu在他父母在舊金山的家中被發現還活著

在偽造自殺的幾天之後，在一個直播中，這是一個假定的死後記憶，超過了1億美元。

The world of crypto is no stranger to bizarre and tragic tales, and the tale of Jeffy Yu, a developer for the Zerebro blockchain, is one for the ages.

加密世界對奇怪而悲慘的故事並不陌生，Zerebro區塊鏈的開發商Jeffy Yu的故事是一個年齡段的人。

As reported by The San Francisco Standard, a clip of Yu staging his own suicide went viral on May 4. In the video, he’s seen calmly smoking a cigarette before pulling the trigger of a handgun as the camera drops.

正如舊金山標準報導的那樣，他自己的自殺片段於5月4日傳播開來。在視頻中，他看到他平靜地抽煙，然後隨著相機掉落而拉動手槍的扳機。

A few hours later, a scheduled social media post announced the posthumous launch of LLJEFFY, a memecoin that Yu described as his “final art piece.” The token quickly surged to nearly $105 million in market cap.

幾個小時後，計劃的社交媒體帖子宣布了lljeffy的死後推出，lljeffy是Yu所描述的Memecoin，是他的“最終藝術作品”。代幣迅速飆升至近1.05億美元的市值。

But it seems that Yu wasn’t planning on kicking the bucket just yet. Despite the tear-jerking scenes of his apparent suicide, blockchain wallets tied to Yu continued to move after his supposed death.

但是看來你還沒有計劃踢桶。儘管他明顯自殺的撕裂場面，但與Yu綁在一起的區塊鏈錢包在他被認為死後繼續移動。

A copy of a letter — allegedly written by Yu — described the exit design as a response to ongoing harassment and blackmail.

一封信的副本（據稱由Yu撰寫）描述了出口設計是對正在進行的騷擾和勒索的回應。

After days of investigation, reporters from The San Francisco Standard eventually found Yu at his parents’ sunny San Francisco home. The developer refused to comment on the suicide stunt or whether he profited from it.

經過幾天的調查，舊金山標準的記者最終在他父母的陽光明媚的舊金山家中發現了Yu。開發人員拒絕對自殺特技發表評論，或者他是否從中獲利。

In the realm of memecoins, this kind of spectacle isn’t entirely new. Back in 2024, Pump.fun’s livestream feature triggered a wave of copycat stunts, with streamers engaging in suicide threats, animal abuse and other shocking acts to pump their tokens.

在Memecoins的領域中，這種奇觀並不全新。早在2024年，Pump.Fun的直播功能引發了一波模仿特技表演，彩帶涉及自殺威脅，動物虐待和其他令人震驚的行為，以抽出代幣。

The company eventually shut down the feature and later relaunched a toned-down version of the livestream service.

該公司最終關閉了該功能，後來重新推出了直播服務的色調版本。

But while Yu’s case is certainly unique, it’s not the only time that crypto has blurred the line between real death, faked death and something in between. From missing founders to sealed caskets, the industry has a long history of exits that left behind more questions than closure.

但是，儘管Yu的案子肯定是獨一無二的，但這並不是加密貨幣唯一一次模糊了真實死亡，偽造的死亡與介於兩者之間的界限之間的界限。從失踪的創始人到密封的棺材，該行業的出口歷史悠久，留下的問題多於關閉。

Here are five unsettling cases — real, staged or unresolved — that continue to haunt the crypto world.

以下是五個令人不安的案件 - 真實，上演或尚未解決 - 繼續困擾著加密貨幣世界。

A suspected Chinese programmer burning 500 Ether (ETH) and donating 1,950 ETH to various groups like WikiLeaks and the Ethereum Foundation. The total value of the donation at the time of writing is $6,800,000.

懷疑的中國程序員燃燒了500 Ether（ETH），並向WikiLeaks和Ethereum Foundation等各個團體捐贈了1,950 ETH。寫作時捐款的總價值為6,800,000美元。

The programmer, who went by the username "Hu Lezhi," also left messages onchain in February 2025.

該程序員以用戶名“胡萊齊”（Hu Lezhi）的身份在2025年2月也留下了消息Onchain。

The messages, which were written in broken English and included a series of typos, read like sci-fi horror. Hu claimed he’d been a mind-control test subject since childhood and warned of a future where humans were nothing more than "puppets or complete slaves to the digital machine."

這些消息用破碎的英語寫，其中包括一系列錯別字，像科幻恐怖一樣閱讀。胡聲稱，他從小就一直是一個心理控制的測試主題，並警告了人類不過是“木偶或數字機器完全奴隸”的未來。

"I am a volunteer for an experiment by WizardQuant (Kuande Investment) hedge fund since I was born. They put a chip in my brain to control my mind and thoughts," one message read.

一條消息寫道：“自從我出生以來，我是Wizardquant（Kuande Investment）對沖基金實驗的志願者。他們在我的大腦中放了一個籌碼來控制我的思想和思想。”

"I have no time to explain. They are using brain-computer weapons to control people and the market. They are the ones behind the crypto winter and the war in Ukraine."

“我沒有時間來解釋。他們正在使用腦部計算機武器來控制人和市場。它們是加密冬季和烏克蘭戰爭的背後。”

In one of his last messages, Hu said they would "leave the world" if they reached the final stage of becoming a "complete slave to the, digital machine." Some translated the series of messages as onchain suicide notes.

在他的最後一條消息中，鬍子說，如果他們進入“完全奴隸的數字機器”的最後階段，他們將“離開世界”。一些人將一系列消息翻譯為OnChain自殺註釋。

To date, they haven't re-emerged. And unlike Yu, Hu's wallet hasn't moved since February 2025.

迄今為止，他們還沒有重新出現。與Yu不同，自2025年2月以來，Hu的錢包就沒有搬家。

On October 28, 2022, DeFi developer Nikolai Mushegian posted a chilling message on X: "CIA and Mossad and pedo elite are running some kind of sex trafficking entrapment blackmail ring... they are going to torture me to death."

2022年10月28日，Defi開發人員尼古拉·穆西吉安（Nikolai Mushegian）在X上發布了一條令人震驚的信息：“中央情報局，莫薩德和佩多精英正在運行某種性販運夾雜勒索戒指……他們將折磨我死亡。”

By the next morning, he was found face-down in the surf near his beach house in Puerto Rico.

到第二天早上，他在波多黎各海濱別墅附近的衝浪中被發現。

Mushegian wasn't some random crypto kid. He was an early developer at MakerDAO and a key architect of the stablecoin ecosystem.

Mushegian不是一個隨機的加密孩子。他是Makerdao的早期開發人員，也是Stablecoin生態系統的關鍵建築師。

He was also increasingly paranoid — or, depending on who you ask, increasingly aware. Critics dismissed the X post as a mental health crisis, but others weren't so quick to look away.

他也越來越偏執 - 或者，取決於您問的人，越來越意識到。批評家將X職位視為心理健康危機，但其他人並沒有快速移開。

The timing of his death sparked a wave of theories: assassination, targeted silencing or even MKUltra-style mind control.

他去世的時機引發了一波理論：暗殺，有針對性的沉默甚至是姆庫爾特（Mkultra）風格的思維控制。

Officially, it was ruled an accidental drowning.

正式，這被裁定為意外溺水。

In December 2018, Gerald Cotten, the 30-year-old founder of Canadian crypto exchange QuadrigaCX, reportedly died in India from Crohn's disease.

2018年12月，加拿大加密貨幣交易所Quadrigacx的30歲創始人Gerald Cotten因克羅恩病在印度死亡。

But there was one massive problem: he was the only person with access to CAD 190 million (about $1.3 billion at today's rates) in crypto.

但是有一個巨大的問題：他是唯一一個在加密貨幣中獲得1.9億CAD的人（約13億美元）。

As news of his death spread, so did the questions. There was no public autopsy, his death certificate had his name spelled wrong (Cottan instead of Cotten), the casket was sealed, and a growing army of investors

隨著他去世的消息傳開，問題也傳播了。沒有公共屍檢，他的死亡證明是錯誤的（棉花而不是科滕），棺材被密封，一群投資者越來越多
