A screenshot of a live broadcast related to Zerebro crypto project co-founder Jeffy Yu sparked heated discussion in the crypto community yesterday (6th), showing Jeffy Yu seemingly shooting himself in the neck after smoking. Although the video did not show whether Jeffy actually pulled the trigger, the obituary platform Legacy published his obituary, stating he passed away on May 4, 2025, at 22 years old, making the community believe he had indeed died.
The obituary detailed Jeffy Yu's remarkable achievements: entering Stanford University to study computer science at 15, becoming a full-time software engineer at 19, and founding a project that reached an $800 million market value in six months...
Reversal, KOL Claims He Hasn't Died
However, just as the crypto community was mourning this young talent's sudden death, the situation took a turn. Hey Anon founder Daniele posted last night:
You're treating the Zerebro developer (by the way, he's not dead) like some kind of martyr to avoid responsibility... it's speechless...
Earlier today, Daniele further publicly stated that he sent a detailed letter to an early investor, asserting that Jeffy is absolutely not dead.

Currently, there is still controversy about whether Jeffy Yu has truly "died", and his friends and family have not yet come forward to make a statement.
However, after Jeffy's reported passing, a Mirror article signed by jeffy yu went online yesterday evening (seemingly set for automatic posting), stating that his final work is a cryptocurrency token called $LLJEFFY.
This led to a rapid surge in the market value of the LLJEFFY meme coin, which briefly reached $32 million last night. However, as rumors of his fake death spread, the LLJEFFY market value quickly fell. On X platform, some users criticized this as a typical exaggerated hype in the cryptocurrency market, intended to manipulate investor sentiment.
