PANews reported on May 9 that the media found that Jeffy Yu, the founder of the cryptocurrency project Zerebro, was hiding in his parents' home in Crocker-Amazon. Faced with the fact that he was found, he seemed anxious and said that he had been "human-flesh searched" and "harassed", and said that he would move out of his parents' home as soon as possible.

Recently, he attracted attention for faking his suicide. Previously, he "suspected suicide" in a live broadcast and released an obituary highly praising him. Later, a commemorative token was launched in his name. However, the authenticity of the video was questioned and the obituary was deleted.

According to previous news, a wallet suspected to be associated with Jeffy Yu sold ZEREBRO and transferred more than one million US dollars to the developer's address .
