PANews reported on May 7 that according to the founder of Hey Anon, the founder of Zerebro admitted in a private letter that he faked the suicide incident in order to completely withdraw from the public eye and get rid of harassment and blackmail. He explained that if he left the market publicly, it would cause his project tokens $ZEREBRO and $OPAIUM to plummet, users would panic sell, and he might also face more serious personal threats. At present, he has deactivated all social accounts and plans to create music anonymously. He said that he did not make any profit from it, but only sought safety and privacy.
