It seems far too extreme to be a troll. Hundreds of irl friends being in on it is a bit much tbh.
they have done the same in the past, where they had 3 guys in on it, on the misc.
when chestbrah was going to fight hardgainer.
he paypal'd a 3rd party something like $100, saying he was going to chestbrah's local hang out and knock him out, if he didnt the 3rd party could keep the $100, if he did he got it back.
all 3 of them were in on it.
its a bit like tupac, when he died he sold 100x more albums, etc, so if zyzz fakes his death (he has his own supplement company), it will raise awareness and he will make a ton of money.
im not going to believe this until i see pictures of an actual grave, if it was me i would even video a fake funeral, etc, but a fake grave would be impossible to do in the middle of a graveyard.
