A pseudonymous programmer known as Hu Lezhi has sent 711.5 Ether, valued at approximately $2 million, to WikiLeaks, along with an unusual on-chain message alleging that the Chinese military is using nano computer chips to control citizens.
“Brain-computer chips have been deployed militarily on a large scale. All military powers are using base stations, radios and nano-brain-computer chips to control all citizens,” Lezhi alleged in a translated on-chain message on February 17 to the nonprofit media platform known for publishing leaked documents.
Lezhi’s on-chain messages alleged that Kuande Investment — also known as WizardQuant — has been using brain-computer weapons against both current and former employees. These directly implicate CEOs Feng Xin and Xu Yuzhi.
At Kuande Investment, Feng, a co-founder with a PhD in Statistics from Columbia University, serves as Chief Risk Officer, while Chief Investment Officer Xu brings a strong mathematical background from Renmin University of China.
Additionally, the self-identified Chinese programmer also asserted that he had been subjected to brain-computer weapons since birth.

“I have completely lost my dignity as a human being. I have decided to leave this world and hope that this ugly world will be destroyed soon,” Hu Lezhi wrote.
Lezhi first contacted WikiLeaks on February 10, warning of a new form of crime. He claimed that this tactic strips victims of their senses, ultimately reducing them to “complete slaves to the digital machine.”
The incident has ignited a wave of discussion on social media, with crypto enthusiasts investigating the programmer’s wallet transactions for unusual patterns.

In addition to his 711.5 Ether donation to WikiLeaks, Hu Lezhi transferred 700 ETH (around $1.94 million) to a Ukraine donation address. He also sent another 1,238 ETH (approximately $3.4 million) to several other addresses.
The transactions took place over several days, with the most significant burn — 500 ETH (equivalent to roughly $1.38 million) — occurring on Monday.
Blockchain records show that the transfers were made through wallets associated with OKX and Binance.
