"Chinese Ethereum Holder's $6.8M Transfer: Mind Control Claims Spark Crypto Debate"

A Chinese Ethereum holder, identified as Hu Lezhi, recently made headlines by transferring over 2,553 Ether (ETH), valued at approximately $6.8 million, to various addresses. The unusual transactions, which included donations to WikiLeaks and the Ethereum Foundation, were flagged by crypto intelligence and trading platform Arkham. Lezhi's actions were accompanied by on-chain messages claiming that Chinese entities and corporations were using mind-control technology and devices to persecute employees and turn them into "puppets or complete slaves to the digital machine."

Lezhi, who described himself as a computer programmer, alleged that he had been monitored and manipulated throughout his life. He specifically blamed Kuande Investment's Chinese CEOs, Feng Xin and Xu Yuzhi, accusing them of using "brain-computer weapons" to persecute their employees. Lezhi claimed that the CEOs' minds were also controlled by the same technology. The transfers began on Feb. 10 and continued until Feb. 17, with many containing a common message: "There is a new mode of crime in which the victim is gradually deprived of his senses of desire until he becomes a complete slave to the digital machine, and if one day I become a victim of the final stage, I will leave the world."

The unusual transactions and accompanying messages have sparked discussions within the crypto community about the potential implications of mind-control technology and the use of blockchain for expressing dissenting views. While the veracity of Lezhi's claims remains unproven, his actions have raised awareness about the potential misuse of technology and the importance of individual privacy and autonomy.
