Zerebro developer reportedly alive after alleged suicide attempt
Jeffy Yu, the 22-year-old developer behind the Zerebro (CRYPTO:ZEREBRO) crypto platform, is reportedly alive and staying at his parents’ home, according to a May 8 report by the San Francisco Standard.
Yu had livestreamed what appeared to be his suicide on May 4, leading many to believe the attempt was fatal.
However, reporter George Kelly said he spoke briefly with Yu outside the family residence, where Yu declined to discuss the incident or any financial gains from it.
“You can see the PTSD in my eyes, right?” Yu reportedly said, before asking the reporter to leave.
He was seen wearing casual clothes and wire-rimmed glasses similar to those worn during the livestream.
Several factors have fueled speculation that Yu’s suicide was staged.
An unverified letter allegedly sent by Yu to an investor claimed he was alive.
Additionally, blockchain analytics firm Bubblemaps reported that wallets linked to Yu moved about $1.5 million worth of Zerebro tokens after the incident.
Some of these funds were transferred to the wallet associated with Legacoin (LLJEFFY), a memecoin linked to Yu.
Zerebro’s token, ZEREBRO, reached a market cap near $660 million in early January 2025 but fell to around $20 million within three months.
As of now, ZEREBRO’s valuation stands at approximately $47.2 million.
Yu’s reference to PTSD appears connected to ongoing harassment and threats he has faced, especially after his home address became public.
This reflects a broader issue of physical attacks in the crypto community, with over 150 incidents recorded since 2014, including 46 in the past year, according to data compiled by Bitcoin (CRYPTO:BTC) cypherpunk Jameson Lopp.
Yu’s case highlights concerns about the mental health and safety risks faced by individuals in the crypto industry.
