Jeffy Yu, co-founder of the AI and blockchain project ZEREBRO<\/span><\/a>, was reportedly seen taking his own life during a livestream. But just days later, suspicious evidence began to surface, plunging the entire Web3 world into a maze of doubt, drama, and unanswered questions.<\/span><\/p>\n

A Viral Livestream, a Sudden Obituary, and the $LLJEFFY Frenzy<\/strong><\/h2>\n

On May 4, 2025, a livestream video circulated on the Pump.fun platform showing Jeffy Yu, 22, in an emotionally charged state. In the video, he declared that he would \u201csacrifice himself\u201d for $LLJEFFY, a memecoin that had launched the very same day. The video ends with the sound of a gunshot and the screen fading to black.<\/span><\/p>\n

Shortly after, an obituary appeared on Legacy.com, confirming that Jeffy Yu had passed away. The crypto community, especially followers of the Zerebro project and the concept of \u201cLegacoin\u201d pioneered by Jeffy \u2013 plunged into panic. The $LLJEFFY token skyrocketed, reaching a market cap of $32.17 million within hours.<\/span><\/p>\n

At the heart of the story is the concept of a \u201cLegacoin\u201d \u2013 a memecoin that the founder vowed to only buy, never sell. According to Jeffy, this would create a token that is \u201cimmortal\u201d on the blockchain, transcending even human death. $LLJEFFY was the first iteration of this model, which Jeffy described as \u201ca digital legacy clone of myself.\u201d Seventy percent of the total supply was burned at launch to create artificial scarcity.<\/span><\/p>\n

Doubts Emerge: Was Jeffy Yu\u2019s Death a Staged Exit?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Just days after the reported death of Jeffy Yu, a series of unusual details began to emerge, prompting the public to ask: Was this truly a suicide, or a staged performance designed to manipulate the market?<\/span><\/p>\n

The first red flag came when Jeffy Yu\u2019s obituary on Legacy.com was suddenly removed, without any official notice from his family or authorities. This fueled further skepticism as the community discovered that Legacy is a pay-to-post platform, widely criticized for its low credibility, with a Trustpilot rating of just 1.3 stars.<\/span><\/p>\n

Meanwhile, on-chain data revealed that the wallet believed to belong to Jeffy remained active after the livestream. The wallet sold $ZEREBRO tokens, transferred USDC to the HTX exchange, and then used the funds to launch $LLJEFFY. For many investors, this was a textbook example of a pre-planned exit scam.<\/span><\/p>\n
