A crypto founder faked his death. We found him alive at his dad's house

Summary

It’s unclear if the other details about Yu’s life can be trusted. The online memorial said he studied computer science at Stanford and attended Northeastern and Arizona State. He reportedly worked full-time as a software engineer in Santa Cruz. His LinkedIn profile says the same.Dressed in a T-shirt, shorts, flip-flops, and wire-rimmed glasses, Yu declined to talk about the false report of his death or how he may have benefited financially from it.“You can see the PTSD in my eyes, right?” he said before telling this reporter to leave.Although the obituary touted his alleged successes, the more significant self-tribute was Sunday’s release of a memecoin that one of his social media accounts promoted in what claimed to be an automated message. “If you’re reading this, it’s because my 72 hour deadman’s switch triggered so i’m not here, at least physically,” the message said. The message described the new coin, dubbed $LLJEFFY, as “my final art piece” and “an eternal grave in cyberspace.”
