Crypto User Incinerates $7 Million in Ethereum to Raise Awareness of ‘Mind Control’ via Brain Chips

A man identifying himself as an “ordinary programmer and entrepreneur” has burned and donated approximately $7 million worth of Ethereum as a form of protest and a personal statement against what he describes as a long-standing experience of being monitored and manipulated by a “brain-control organization.”
Now, Crypto Twitter users are trying to get what’s left of his money.
The user, who identified himself as Hu Lezhi, has sent around 2,553 ETH (worth approximately $7 million) through multiple transactions over the past week.
Of that amount, 603 ETH ($1.65 million) was permanently removed from circulation by sending it to an unspendable blockchain address, 0x00000—also known as the ETH burn address.
Hu has also inscribed a variety of unusual messages on the blockchain.
“Since October 2022, I have realized that I have been monitored and manipulated by a brain-control organization since birth,” Hu wrote on-chain. “When I became aware of the existence of this organization, they intensified their harm against me.”
“The past two years have been extremely painful, and I have now reached a point where I have completely lost my dignity as a human being,” he wrote.
One of the transactions carried messages accusing executives at Chinese hedge fund Wizard Quant Capital Management of using “brain-computer weapons” to control employees.
The quant firm, founded by Wall Street veterans and based in Shanghai and Beijing, didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment by Decrypt.
Before burning his tokens, Hu donated more than 700 ETH (a bit under $2 Million) to WikiLeaks address and other wallets like nda.eth, sharing more details about his supposed relationship
