According to a San Francisco news outlet, the 22-year-old Zerebro developer, who appears to have committed suicide during the May 4th livestream, is actually alive, according to a San Francisco news outlet, which claims to have spoken with Yu outside the family's home.
San Francisco standard reporter George Kelly claimed that he briefly spoke to Yu outside his family's two-storey home on May 8th. There, cryptography influencers refused to discuss the suicide allegations.
Instead, Yu reportedly said, “You can see PTSD in my eyes, right?” before asking the reporter to leave.
He reportedly wore a T-shirt, shorts, flip-flops and wire-rim glasses.
SFS did not share Yu's image outside the family home.
Many initially believed that Yu's suicide was legal after reports of the incident emerged on May 4th, but some information that began circulating in X two days later concluded that his attempted suicide had been forged.
One of the evidence was an unverified letter allegedly sent by Yu to investors confirming he was not dead. Another included transfers from several crypto wallets owned by YU, with the removal of alleged incidents and his obituary from commemorative site Regacy.com.
The wallet tied to Yu has moved $1.5 million from the suicide case
According to Blockchain Analytics Firm Bubblemaps, the wallet tied to Yu offloads approximately $1.5 million worth of Zerebro (Zerebro) tokens since the suicide incident, bolstering SFS reports that Yu is still alive.
Some of these funds were transferred to the same wallet address as Yu, which was used to create the so-called “Legacy Memo Coin”, the legacin (lljeffy).

Yu's AI-driven content-focused Zerebro platform plunged into the scene in late 2024, with the Zerebro token surged to a market capitalization of nearly $660 million on January 3, falling below $20 million three months later, Coingecko data shows.
Zerebro currently boasts a valuation of $47.2 million, but several Lljeffy tokens are valuing millions of dollars across various blockchain networks.
Yu's PTSD claims reflect what concerns industry trends in harassment, violence
The PTSD that Yu went to an SFS reporter appears to be linked to the constant harassment, terrorism and threats he discussed in his apparent letter sent to Zerebro investors.
He argued that the publicly known address of his home made him constantly fear robbery and physical harm.
