In addition to on-chain signs, an unverified letter allegedly written by Jeffy Yu to investors is currently circulating on X. In that letter, Yu says he staged the suicide video as a deliberate act to exit the crypto space, stating:

“I created a video in which I depict myself shooting myself. My decision to create and indirectly disseminate this video was deliberate. In my perspective, this was my only viable exit from persistent harassment, blackmail, and threats.”

He also explains that leaving publicly without triggering further backlash and doxxing was impossible:

“Had I stepped away openly, I would have tanked the price of ZEREBRO and OPAIUM projects when my departure became imminent. This would have resulted in even more intense targeting, which was previously evidenced when out token price >90% in January, causing a massive increase in resentment towards me as a developer.”

Meanwhile, ZEREBRO and OPAIUM tokens have both tanked 20% in the past 24 hours, while the new coin LLJEFFY is up over 100% over the same period and 24% in the past hour alone.
