From $44 Million Peak to $30,000 Left — How This Crypto Trader Lost Everything to Leverage

Jeffrey Huang, also known as Machi Big Brother, a Taiwanese-American entrepreneur, has reportedly lost approximately $75 million in the last six months through risky trading on the Hyperliquid decentralized exchange.

Machi Big Brother is facing a serious financial crisis. After once having a $44.84 million profit, he’s now lost everything and is down a total of $75.19 million in the last six months, with only $30,000 remaining. It’s uncertain if he’ll be able to recover his losses.

A trader known as Huang has been liquidated 335 times, leading to the nickname “King of Liquidations,” according to Lookonchain. While his profits once reached a high of $44.8 million in September 2025, as reported by Hyperdash, his account currently shows a loss of over $30 million.

It’s tough to watch someone go from feeling incredibly successful to losing almost everything so quickly. I’ve seen large profits vanish when people completely disregard risk management. Some believe having a lot of capital protects you, but it actually makes poor choices even more damaging – this case, with $75 million lost, proves that the market can bring anyone down. Recovering is possible, but only if he learns from these mistakes, according to Trader Joe.

Blockchain data indicated his account held just $30,268. However, Arkham Intelligence later reported a deposit of an additional $500,000.

According to a recent post, despite losing over $75 million, a crypto user known as Machi Big Brother deposited an additional $500,000 and re-invested $11.5 million in Ethereum.

As of the latest update, Machi Big Brother had two open positions: 5,350 ETH and 8,000 HYPE. Both positions currently have unrealized losses, meaning they would result in a loss if closed at the current price.

Huang’s trading style was similar to that of James Wynn, a well-known trader on Hyperliquid. Wynn once made as much as $87 million in May 2025 through highly leveraged trades, but significant losses later decreased his total profits. Despite this, Wynn has continued to trade on Hyperliquid.

A quick price increase for Bitcoin ($BTC) caused James Wynn (@JamesWynnReal) to lose his entire short position. It appears he’s consistently losing money whether he’s betting on the price going up or down.

These traders both consistently demonstrate strong beliefs in their decisions and repeatedly invest again, even after setbacks. Their experiences show how using leverage in cryptocurrency can lead to large profits, but also carries the risk of significant losses.
