The founder of Zerebro, Jeffy Yu, was found alive at his parents’ home three days after a video of his “suicide” was released. This was reported by the San Francisco Standard<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The fake death of the 22-year-old creator of Legacoin (LLJEFFY) triggered a 2115% surge in the meme coin’s value, with its market capitalization soaring to $105 million.<\/p>\n

Earlier reports stated that he had taken his own life during a live stream on Pump.fun on May 4.<\/p>\n

The video was removed, but it was followed by a pre-scheduled post with Yu’s musings on fame and Legacoin. This caused a frenzy: within a day, the price of LLJEFFY increased twentyfold.<\/p>\n

The crash began when investors noticed activity<\/a> in the developer’s wallet, which was buying tokens even after his “death.”<\/p>\n

Within an hour, the market capitalization plummeted from $105 million to $13.8 million. At the time of writing, the figure stands at $1.8 million, according to DEX Screener<\/a>.<\/p>\n

On May 7, journalists from the San Francisco Standard found Yu at his parents’ house. The developer claimed to be a victim of harassment and asked the reporter to leave:<\/p>\n

\n

“Can’t you see the post-traumatic stress disorder in my eyes? Now my parents will have to move.”<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

The San Francisco and San Mateo coroners’ offices confirmed that since April 2, no deaths with the surname Yu have been recorded in the region.<\/p>\n

An obituary on Legacy.com, which described him as a “Stanford prodigy” who created the $800 million Zerebro ecosystem, was later removed.<\/p>\n

Back in November 2024, Pump\u2024fun halted<\/a> live streaming on the platform, and in April 2025, it reopened<\/a> access to streaming for all users.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
