The mysterious donor, who describes himself as an “ordinary computer programmer and entrepreneur” encoded disturbing messages in his onchain transactions.
Mystery Chinese Programmer Burns and Gifts $7M in ETH Before Leaving Bizarre Messages
Over the past week, a mysterious individual who calls himself “Hu Lezhi” burnt and donated $7 million worth of ether ( ETH) before leaving eerie messages accusing two hedge fund executives of using “brain-computer weapons” to control him, according to reporting by Pluid.
Onchain data reveals that someone burnt 603 ETH worth roughly $1,632,000 at current prices, then donated 1,950 ETH or approximately $5,277,000. The two actions cost the individual a total of nearly $7 million.
The Ethereum blockchain allows users to encode messages with their transactions, and Lezhi used that functionality to warn the world that Feng Xin, co-founder of Chinese hedge fund Wizard Quant, and Xu Yuzhi, the fund’s chief investment officer, used brain-computer weapons against their employees, including Lezhi.
“The heads of Kuande Investment, Feng Xin and Xu Yuzhi, used brain-computer weapons to persecute all company employees and former employees,” Lezhi wrote. “And even they themselves were controlled,” he added.
Lezhi subsequently elaborates on the alleged activities Xin and Yuzhi are engaged in, which include deploying brain-computer chips “to control all citizens” until they become “complete slaves to the digital machine.”
The seemingly distraught Lezhi, who describes himself as an “ordinary computer programmer and entrepreneur” claims he has been controlled by “the mind control organization” from the time he was born, but only discovered he was being manipulated in October 2022.
Perhaps the most disturbing part of the message thread is when Lezhi contemplates suicide.
“I have been very painful in the past two years,” Lezhi wrote. “Now I have completely lost my dignity as a human being. I have decided to leave this world and hope that this ugly world will be destroyed soon.”
While the messages are unusually peculiar, maybe even bordering on nonsensical, the fact that Lezhi spent $7 million to publish them for the world to see, gives his story at least some credence.
Bitcoin.com attempted to contact Wizard Quant for comment, but the company’s listed email address was not reachable.
