11 months have passed and this still has no explanation
Hu Lezhi is one of the strangest events ever recorded on Ethereum
February 2025
- a Chinese programmer burns 603.38 ETH
- around 1.67 million dollars
- all sent to the zero address
- each burn includes long messages about mind control tech
and a Chinese hedge fund called Kuande Investment (WizardQuant)
the main burn: 500 ETH
tx hash:
0x5e8bef5dcb69206fa1bacc8d0b0c0204e12f1e45483d12b9f69dc1829ac74315
message accuses two executives, Feng Xin and Xu Yuzhi, of using brain-machine weapons on employees
more burns that same week:
- 70.36 ETH
“wild animals becoming digital puppets controlled by machines”
- 33.03 ETH
“a victim slowly losing all desire until becoming a full digital slave”
total burned: 603.38 ETH
all confirmed on Etherscan
the same wallet sends 711.52 ETH to a WikiLeaks donation address
591.62 ETH in a single transfer
the message includes a long note where he says he has been monitored since birth by a “brain-control organization”
Almost a year later, we are left with:
- 603 ETH burned
- 711 ETH sent to WikiLeaks
- a hedge fund that never replied
- a programmer who disappeared after leaving his final thoughts
the blockchain remembers everything
but nobody can explain what really happened
