In crypto we trust. Famous last words. A crypto founder faked his death. We found him alive at his dad's house

ZOUNDS! They'll NEVER find me at Dad's house!!

https://sfstandard.com/2025/05/08/jeffy-yu-zerebro-fake-death/

Jeffy Yu was days away from his 23rd birthday when he appeared to take his own life Sunday in a video. A flattering obituary appeared, calling the aspiring crypto mogul “a visionary artist, technologist, and cultural force” and “a tech prodigy from an early age.” A memecoin in Yu’s honor went up for sale.

But in the days that followed, online sleuths raised doubts about the video’s authenticity. The obituary disappeared. Whatever deceptive game was being played came to an indisputable end when The Standard found Yu on Wednesday, holed up at his parents’ Crocker-Amazon home.

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.

“I’ve been doxxed. I’ve been harassed. If you can find me, other people can find me,” he said. “Now I have to move my parents out of here this week.”


Yikes, he isn't even the most deranged promoter of crypto.



No rumors yet of him faking his death.

These seem like scams all day long.

And at the end of the day, crypto has nothing to do with any of it. It is just people selling magic dust, by any other name ...
