According to Lookonchain, Huang’s account has endured 335 separate liquidations, earning him the title of “King of Liquidations.” Moreover, data from Hyperdash showed that his total profits peaked at $44.8 million in September 2025. However, his account shows a loss exceeding $30 million.

“This is brutal to watch, dude went from peak euphoria to near zero fast. I’ve seen big wins disappear when risk management gets ignored completely people think size saves you, it actually amplifies every bad decision hard $75M gone just proves this market humbles everyone eventually coming back is possible, but only if he fixes the same mistakes,” Trader Joe wrote.
On-chain data showed that his account only had $30,268 left. Nonetheless, Arkham Intelligence reported that he added another $500,000.
“After losing over $75 MILLION – Machi Big Brother added another $500K to his account, and relonged $11.5 MILLION of ETH,” the post read.
At press time, Machi Big Brother held two open positions. These included 5,350 ETH and 8,000 HYPE. Both positions were showing unrealized losses.

Huang’s approach drew parallels to James Wynn, another high-profile Hyperliquid trader. Wynn’s leveraged trades on Hyperliquid pushed his profits to a peak of $87 million in May 2025. However, large liquidations sharply reduced his overall gains. Wynn has since returned to Hyperliquid multiple times.
Due to a sudden spike in $BTC, James Wynn(@JamesWynnReal)'s short has been fully liquidated!
