Programmer Hu Lezhi carried out an extreme protest by burning and donating $7 million worth of Ethereum.
He claimed to be manipulated by a brain-control organization and accused Chinese hedge fund WizardQuant of using brain-control weapons on its employees.
His actions drew global attention to his claims, sparking skepticism in the crypto community.
However, there is no clear evidence linking Lezhi to WizardQuant or verifying his claims at present.
