A Chinese crypto investor burned $1.3 million in Ethereum (ETH) for mysterious reasons, according to the blockchain analytics firm Arkham.
Someone calling themselves “Hu Lezhi” sent the ETH to a burn address and accused Xin Feng and Yuzhi Xu, executives at a Chinese quantitative hedge fund called WizardQuant, of using “brain-computer weapons to persecute all company employees and former employees.”
“CHINESE MAN BURNS $1.3 million [of] ETH CLAIMING ATTACK BY BRAIN-COMPUTER WEAPONS
This morning, an address sent $1.3 million of ETH to the burn address, accusing some Chinese investors of using ‘brain-computer weapons’. It is now completely unrecoverable.
Did the brain-computer weapons make him do this?”
Lezhi also claims that Feng and Xu “themselves were controlled.” WizardQuant also uses the name Kuande.
Lezhi refers to himself as an “ordinary programmer and entrepreneur” and claims that he has been “monitored and manipulated by the mind control organization” since he was born. His address has sent a total of $4.95 million to the burn address, Wikileaks and the Ethereum Foundation in the past week, and it has transferred $825,000 ETH to a Coinbase Deposit and $273,000 ETH to a fresh address.
ETH is trading at $2,669 at time of writing. The second-ranked crypto asset by market cap is down nearly 3% in the past 24 hours.
