A strange Chinese user has donated and burned over $5.7 million worth of Ethereum, sending out eerie messages about widespread mind control.
In a series of transactions between Feb. 10 and 17, 2025, an individual identifying as Hu Lezhi transferred about $5.757 million in Ethereum (ETH) to various addresses, including donations and token burns.
However, in an interesting twist, the transactions were accompanied by unsettling messages concerning mind control and personal anguish. Pluid, a Web3 media platform, first called attention to the eerie transactions.

Mind-Control Machines?
The first transaction occurred on Feb. 7, involving 33 ETH (valued at $88,000) sent to the Ethereum burn address. The accompanying message, translated from Chinese, described a new form of crime where victims’ desires are systematically stripped, rendering them slaves to digital machines.
The sender expressed a resolve to leave the world if they ever became a victim of this ultimate stage. Notably, the rest of the transactions, which sent funds to the Ethereum Foundation, the Ethereum burn address and WikiLeaks, carried the same message.
Meanwhile, the final transaction to the burn address took place on February 17, involving 500 ETH (worth $1.34 million). The message accompanying this transaction was different, accusing Feng Xin and Xu Yuzhi, CEOs of Kuande Investment, of using brain-computer interfaces to control and persecute employees, including themselves.
For context, Kuande Investment, also known as Wizard Quant, is a Chinese hedge fund specializing in quantitative trading with a strong presence in domestic and international markets.
On the same day, Hu Lezhi donated 591 ETH ($1.59 million) to WikiLeaks, the last of the transactions. In the accompanying message, he identified himself as an ordinary programmer and entrepreneur who, since October 2022, had become aware of being monitored and manipulated by a mind control organization since birth.
He described escalating torment over the past two years, leading to a complete loss of personal dignity, and declared his intention to depart from this world, expressing a desire for the destruction of what he termed an ‘ugly world.’
Ethereum Worth $5.7M Moved
In total, over the seven-day period, Hu Lezhi conducted 16 transactions, distributing 710 ETH (valued at $1.9 million) to WikiLeaks, 133 ETH (worth $357,000) to the Ethereum Foundation’s grant provider address, 603.4 ETH (approximately $1.62 million) to the Ethereum burn address, and 700 ETH (around $1.88 million) to Ndaoment, an Ethereum-based charitable organization.
Notably, these transactions and their accompanying messages have triggered discussions within the crypto community, with opinions divided on whether this is merely the ramblings of a mentally challenged person or if the allegations have some semblance of truth.
The address was activated on Feb. 10, seven days ago, funded with an OKX wallet. Immediately after this, it started receiving ETH tokens and distributing them to the target wallets.
