Jeffy Yu, the developer behind Zerebro, faked his death during a livestream that launched a memecoin, LLJEFFY, which shortly surged in value before plummeting again. Yu was later found alive at his parents' home, raising questions about his motives. Another case involves Hu Lezhi, a whistleblower who claimed to be a mind-control subject and vanished after burning significant ETH and making alarming claims. Unlike Yu, Hu's wallet remained inactive and he hasn’t resurfaced. Nikolai Mushegian, a DeFi developer, posted a disturbing tweet before being found dead; his death was ruled an accidental drowning, but conspiracy theories abound. The controversial death of QuadrigaCX founder Gerald Cotten created a financial disaster when he supposedly died, leaving investors without access to $190 million in crypto, leading to speculation of a Ponzi scheme. Lastly, Ruja Ignatova, the so-called 'Cryptoqueen' behind the OneCoin scam, has been missing since 2017, with various rumors about her fate, including potential murder.
