Brother Fried Chicken absconds with tens of millions of U in 'Southeast Asia Great Escape'? Beware of the 'persona' trap, the end of Web3 must be code autonomy

In February 2026, the darkest moment of Web3 has once again arrived.
This time, the protagonist is not a top institution like FTX, but a 'genius boy born in the 2000s' — Brother Fried Chicken. Tens of millions of dollars (approximately over 70 million RMB) in funds instantly turned to smoke with his sudden disappearance overnight.
From flaunting Ferraris and huge profit graphs to canceling accounts and transferring funds, the entire process was seamless. Some say he has fled to Singapore overnight, and there are even rumors that he is a member of a long-standing scam gang operating in Southeast Asia, and the so-called 'genius boy' is merely a carefully packaged bait for a 'pig butchering' scheme.
