Jeffy Yu, co-founder of AI and blockchain projects statueIt is reported that I saw my life in a live broadcast. But a few days later, suspicious evidence began to surface, sucking the entire Web3 world into a maze, drama and unresolved problem.
Virus live broadcast, sudden itu sue and $lljeffy frenzy
On May 4, 2025, a live video was circulated on the pump. The FUN platform shows 22-year-old Jeffy Yu, who is filled with emotion. In the video, he announced that he would “sacrifice himself” for $lljeffy, a member launched the same day. The video ends with gunfire and the screen gradually turns black.
Not long after, of sued a lawsuit. The crypto community, especially the followers of the Zerebro project, and the concept of “Legacoin” pioneered by Jeffy, fell into panic. The $lljeffy token surged, reaching a market cap of $32.17 million in a few hours.
At the heart of the story is the concept of a “wife”, a member whose founder vows to buy only and not sell. According to Jeffy, this will create an “immortal” token on the blockchain, even beyond human death. $lljeffy is the first iteration of the model, which Jeffy describes as a “clone of my own digital legacy”. 70% of the total supply was burned during launch to create artificial scarcity.
A question arises: Is Jeffy Yu’s death an outlet?
A few days after Jeffy Yu’s death, a series of unusual details began to emerge, prompting the public to ask: Is this a real suicide or a stage performance designed to manipulate the market?
The first red flag appeared when Jeffy Yu’s itu sue on legacy.com was suddenly removed without any formal notice from his family or authorities. This has sparked further suspicion as the community found the estate was a paid platform that has been widely criticized for its low credibility and its trust rating was only 1.3 stars.
At the same time, data on the chain shows that the wallet considered to be Jeffy remains active after the live broadcast. The wallet sold $Zerebro tokens, transferred USDC to HTX Exchange, and then used those funds to launch $LLJEFFY. For many investors, this is a textbook example of a pre-planned export scam.

From a technical point of view, video analysts point out the inconsistencies in live streaming. The audience noticed that the gunshot sound mismatched the lighting and audio were artificial, with no visible signs of blood or any physical reaction. Some viewers concluded that Jeffy Yu pre-recorded the video instead of live streaming it.
Finally, despite referring to $lljeffy as his “final work,” Jeffy Yu plans to release Zerebro’s AI album on May 30, an action that seems incompatible with those who are believed to be the dead. This just deepens doubts Jeffy Yu and his team orchestrated the entire incident as a marketing strategy.
Incredible turnaround!

Psychological warfare and superb pumping
As of now, local police and medical examiners have not issued any official confirmation. No autopsy reports, hospital records or authorities’ statements only deepened doubts about the authenticity of the entire event.
On X, the famous cryptocurrency Cole, Cobie, Ansem and Hsaka express their suspicions. Irene Zhao said she had contacted an internal source who confirmed that Jeffy Yu was still alive.

“Doesn’t fake your own death for marketing stunts? That’s cruel, cold-blooded.” Others expressed anger, saying they felt manipulated and described the incident as “blood marketing” to profit from false sympathy.
Despite opposition, part of the community respects Jeffy as the “martyr” of the commemorative movement. Some even call him a marketing genius, and some are willing to sacrifice his public image to launch the concept of Legacoin, a so-called “immortal token” that is a blockchain that lives beyond the death of its creator (so-called) death.
Web3’s moral estimates
Regardless of whether Jeffy Yu actually died or not, this incident provides a powerful wake-up call for the cryptocurrency space, showing how emotions, rumors and virality can weaponize the market through manipulation.
It also raises a deeper question about the morality of the decentralized era: If blockchain is unchanged and patient, who can ensure that human behavior is not distorted by these characteristics?
Link Analyst @Dethexcement Warning:
“If I wanted to manipulate the market, I would make a shocking story like a paid itu ad.”
The comment reflects a growing reality: chaos, emotional fluctuations and a lack of validation of the memorial landscape of dominance, in which the line between irony, art and exploitation becomes increasingly blurred.
