Zerebro Developer Reported Alive Days After Alleged On-Camera Suicide

Zerebro Developer Reported Alive Days After Alleged On-Camera Suicide

The mysterious case of Zerebro’s 22-year-old developer, who appeared to shoot himself during a livestream on May 4, took a dramatic turn after he was reportedly seen alive outside his family home in San Francisco.

According to The San Francisco Standard, reporter George Kelly briefly encountered the developer, identified only as Yu, on May 8. When approached for comment, Yu declined to address the suicide allegations or accusations that he may have financially benefited from faking his death. He reportedly told the journalist, “You can see the PTSD in my eyes, right?” before requesting that he leave the premises.

Yu was described as wearing a casual outfit — a T-shirt, shorts, flip-flops, and wire-rimmed glasses — similar to what he wore during the chilling livestream that convinced thousands he had taken his life. However, no images from the encounter were published by the outlet.

Initial reactions to the livestream had many convinced the suicide was real, with online tributes and even an obituary published on Legacy.com, which has since been taken down. However, skepticism quickly mounted as blockchain evidence and alleged personal communications suggested otherwise.

Blockchain analytics firm Bubblemaps revealed that wallets tied to Yu had moved approximately $1.5 million in Zerebro (ZEREBRO) tokens following the incident. Notably, some of these funds were traced to the wallet that launched “Legacy Memecoin” (LLJEFFY), a token widely believed to mock memorial culture in crypto. The suspicious activity added fuel to speculation that the live-streamed suicide had been staged.

An unverified letter, allegedly written by Yu to an investor, further deepened doubts. In it, Yu claimed he was alive and expressed fear for his safety, citing ongoing harassment, threats, and blackmail since Zerebro went viral. With his address now public, Yu reportedly fears robbery or worse — a concern shared by many crypto influencers targeted in recent months.

A well-known Bitcoin advocate, Jameson Lopp, tracks physical crypto-related attacks on GitHub. His data shows over 150 incidents globally since 2014, with 46 occurring in the past year.
