"I started trading futures in March. Before that, I’d never touched derivatives—hell, I’d never seriously traded anything. I was just a Meme coin guy."

"In one month, I turned $3 million into $100 million… then lost it all on Hyperliquid in a week."

"I was just doing my thing, but people noticed. My account blew up—hundreds of thousands of followers, all because everything’s on-chain and trackable."

"With all that attention, things spiraled. I was basically gambling, trying to claw back losses while avoiding looking like an idiot who squandered $100M. Got greedy. Stopped seeing the numbers as real."

On June 6, James Wynn changed his profile picture to a McDonald’s-themed Wojak—the crypto equivalent of waving a white flag. Translation: "I lost. Time to rejoin the wage-slave army." By this point, Wynn had burned through over $20 million of his own capital.

The self-proclaimed "degenerate gambler" James Wynn chronicled every futures trade on Hyperliquid (HLP), turning his public wallet into a live-streamed tragedy.

May 30: The $96M Crash and Philosopher’s Copium
After losing $96 million in a week (total net loss: $14.03M), Wynn entered "post-nut clarity" mode, tweeting:
"Being a futures degen is hilarious. Zero regrets. Turning $4M to $100M then back to $13M? Peak adrenaline. Most couldn’t stomach this—no capital, no balls to risk it publicly. Next time, I’m aiming for $1B. I’ll be back."

Crypto KOL Scooter (of Libra leak fame) clapped back:
"Wynn’s the poster child for why scammers/ruggers end up broke. Never learned the value of earning honestly or the grind. Easy come, easy go."
Trader Eugene Ng Ah Sio echoed this in his TG channel: "Leverage giveth, leverage taketh away."

May 31: The $3.25M Re-Up and God Complex
Wynn pooled $3.25M across wallets to long BTC and PEPE. After repeated liquidations, his real position value (not notional) dwindled to $800K. Unfazed, he declared:
"I’ll rebound. Money’s a mindset. I’m still richer than 99.9% of Crypto Twitter. This is a calculated bet for billions. My passive income eclipses your annual salary."

Later, he added:
"$100M isn’t life-changing money. For mental prisoners, maybe. To free spirits? Pocket change. Pathetic how many die without seeing that number. Free will > peasant mentality."

June 1: Zero Positions, $17.72M Down, and War Drums
Wynn vowed a comeback:
"You ‘I’d cash out at $100M’ hypocrites—why exit? All or nothing."
Then, pivoting to conspiracy:
"CEXs are banning me for fighting corruption and decentralization. My funds are clean. If this continues, I’ll team with Moonpig to build an anti-censorship platform. Lawyers ready."

June 2: The 4-Hour Retirement
After announcing a trading hiatus, Wynn reversed course within hours, posting a BTC long screenshot and tagging Wintermute:
"I’m back."
The position soon bled $1.35M. Paranoid, he ranted:
"Buy BTC to fight manipulation! My longs get instantly sniped. Is it Hyperliquid exposure? Whale games? Help me battle them—send USDC to [address]. If I win, you get 1:1 returns."

The plea raised $39,345.11 USDC, which he used to lower his liquidation price. Arthur Hayes quipped:
"This might be crypto’s greatest exchange marketing stunt. HYPE wins. Also, bet he’s hedging anonymously to farm Hyperliquid’s next airdrop."

June 3: Deus Ex Machina (Briefly)
After BTC rebounded, saving his $100M notional long (now +$400K), Wynn deleted the "beg tweet." At one point, he was $20 from liquidation.

But luck expired overnight when a Trump-Musk feud tanked markets. Wynn’s stack evaporated—again.

Who Really Won?
While Wynn cycled between riches and rags, Hyperliquid’s HYPE token soared to ATHs. Wintermute’s founder wishful_cynic conceded:
"‘Wynn’ is a masterclass in HL marketing. Brilliant execution. His tweets? Chef’s kiss."

Notably, Wynn name-dropped Hyperliquid every third tweet, weaving narratives of decentralization, anti-corruption, and unverified CEX "account bans."

Even in defeat, Wynn plugged Hyperliquid:
"If you’re gonna gamble like an idiot, use my link (saves fees) and tag ‘WYNN’."

The Black Box
Questions linger: Did Wynn hedge via anonymous wallets? Is he secretly compensated by Hyperliquid? The transparency crusader’s opacity is poetic.

In the end, the house always wins—especially when the house is a futures platform.
