Zerebro开发人员Jeffy Yu在他父母在旧金山的家中被发现还活着

在伪造自杀的几天之后，在一个直播中，这是一个假定的死后记忆，超过了1亿美元。

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.

加密世界对奇怪而悲惨的故事并不陌生，Zerebro区块链的开发商Jeffy Yu的故事是一个年龄段的人。

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.

正如旧金山标准报道的那样，他自己的自杀片段于5月4日传播开来。在视频中，他看到他平静地抽烟，然后随着相机掉落而拉动手枪的扳机。

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.

几个小时后，计划的社交媒体帖子宣布了lljeffy的死后推出，lljeffy是Yu所描述的Memecoin，是他的“最终艺术作品”。代币迅速飙升至近1.05亿美元的市值。

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.

但是看来你还没有计划踢桶。尽管他明显自杀的撕裂场面，但与Yu绑在一起的区块链钱包在他被认为死后继续移动。

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（据称由Yu撰写）描述了出口设计是对正在进行的骚扰和勒索的回应。

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.

经过几天的调查，旧金山标准的记者最终在他父母的阳光明媚的旧金山家中发现了Yu。开发人员拒绝对自杀特技发表评论，或者他是否从中获利。

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的领域中，这种奇观并不全新。早在2024年，Pump.Fun的直播功能引发了一波模仿特技表演，彩带涉及自杀威胁，动物虐待和其他令人震惊的行为，以抽出代币。

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

该公司最终关闭了该功能，后来重新推出了直播服务的色调版本。

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，尽管Yu的案子肯定是独一无二的，但这并不是加密货币唯一一次模糊了真实死亡，伪造的死亡与介于两者之间的界限之间的界限。从失踪的创始人到密封的棺材，该行业的出口历史悠久，留下的问题多于关闭。

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

以下是五个令人不安的案件 - 真实，上演或尚未解决 - 继续困扰着加密货币世界。

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.

怀疑的中国程序员燃烧了500 Ether（ETH），并向WikiLeaks和Ethereum Foundation等各个团体捐赠了1,950 ETH。写作时捐款的总价值为6,800,000美元。

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

该程序员以用户名“胡莱齐”（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."

这些消息用破碎的英语写，其中包括一系列错别字，像科幻恐怖一样阅读。胡声称，他从小就一直是一个心理控制的测试主题，并警告了人类不过是“木偶或数字机器完全奴隶”的未来。

"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.

一条消息写道：“自从我出生以来，我是Wizardquant（Kuande Investment）对冲基金实验的志愿者。他们在我的大脑中放了一个筹码来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."

“我没有时间来解释。他们正在使用脑部计算机武器来控制人和市场。它们是加密冬季和乌克兰战争的背后。”

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.

在他的最后一条消息中，胡子说，如果他们进入“完全奴隶的数字机器”的最后阶段，他们将“离开世界”。一些人将一系列消息翻译为OnChain自杀注释。

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

迄今为止，他们还没有重新出现。与Yu不同，自2025年2月以来，Hu的钱包就没有搬家。

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开发人员尼古拉·穆西吉安（Nikolai Mushegian）在X上发布了一条令人震惊的信息：“中央情报局，莫萨德和佩多精英正在运行某种性贩运夹杂勒索戒指……他们将折磨我死亡。”

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，他在波多黎各海滨别墅附近的冲浪中被发现。

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

Mushegian不是一个随机的加密孩子。他是Makerdao的早期开发人员，也是Stablecoin生态系统的关键建筑师。

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.

他也越来越偏执 - 或者，取决于您问的人，越来越意识到。批评家将X职位视为心理健康危机，但其他人并没有快速移开。

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

他去世的时机引发了一波理论：暗杀，有针对性的沉默甚至是姆库尔特（Mkultra）风格的思维控制。

Officially, it was ruled an accidental drowning.

正式，这被裁定为意外溺水。

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，加拿大加密货币交易所Quadrigacx的30岁创始人Gerald Cotten因克罗恩病在印度死亡。

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.

但是有一个巨大的问题：他是唯一一个在加密货币中获得1.9亿CAD的人（约13亿美元）。

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

随着他去世的消息传开，问题也传播了。没有公共尸检，他的死亡证明是错误的（棉花而不是科滕），棺材被密封，一群投资者越来越多
