The crypto community is once again engulfed in controversy over the supposed death of Jeffy Yu, co-founder of Solana-based memecoin project Zerebro. While some believe Yu passed away in a reported suicide, lack of evidence from the coroner’s office and on-chain activity tells a different story, as his wallets are very much alive, dumping tokens and leaving traders with heavy losses. The argument that Yu’s death may be a ruse received a boost in credibility as the initial post announcing his death on Legacy.com has been taken down by the San Francisco Chronicle after it didn’t receive a death certificate…
