1/ An investigation into the alleged identity of the mysterious Hyperliquid whale tied to illicit activity that profited ~$20M via highly leveraged positions over the past couple weeks. https://t.co/AgKy7SwTNh
@zachxbt - ZachXBT
2/ A trader opened multiple highly leveraged positions on Hyperliquid and GMX from Jan - Mar 2025. They gained lots of attention this month after two onchain trades: -Large ETH & BTC long position on 50X leverage just before Trump’s crypto reserve announcement by 0xe4d3 ($10M profit) -Large BTC short position on 40X leverage by 0xf3F4 ($9M profit)

3/ I went and identified the main counterparties of 0xf3f: 0x7ab8c59db7b959bb8c3481d5b9836dfbc939af21 0x312f8282f68e17e33b8edde9b52909a77c75d950 0xab3067c58811ade7aa17b58808db3b4c2e86f603 0xe4d31c2541a9ce596419879b1a46ffc7cd202c62 This cluster is to tied to Roobet, Binance, Gamdom, ChangeNOW, Shuffle, Alphapo, BC Game, & Metawin accounts.
@zachxbt - ZachXBT
4/ 0xf3f signed a messaged for the X account @qwatio and stated they made $20M on GMX & HL. This means he would have to control the related wallets in this cluster for the $20M number to be accurate. I replied to him yesterday on X but the posts were deleted after. https://t.co/aBDRc0HoVm
@zachxbt - ZachXBT
5/ An analysis for the X account used by 0xf3f indicates it was likely purchased at a point in time (recent name change, years of inactivity, aged account) I saw they follow @CryptxxCatalyst who posted links to multiple phishing sites + replied to people trying to trick them. https://t.co/mCXzxSnF5L
@zachxbt - ZachXBT
6/ I reach reached out to @realScamSniffer about the phishing sites who regularly tracks them. A public address for the HL whale was set as the drainer fee receiver on the projection[.]fi phishing site in Jan 2025. 0x7ab8c59db7b959bb8c3481d5b9836dfbc939af21 0x7ab also directly received $17.1K in Jan 2025 from another phishing draining customer prior to where his wallets became tracked this month.
@zachxbt - ZachXBT
7/ As 0x7ab was the first EVM address used by 0xf3f I traced the source to withdrawals on Solana from four casinos. 83Dumvk6pTUYjbGrC1fizBziRzDqcyNx73ieJcVbp56b I reached out and one of them clarified the funds came from an input validation exploit on a casino game. I was provided with a now deleted TG account: 7713976571 they had negotiated with the exploiter from.
@zachxbt - ZachXBT
8/ I performed OSINT to find posts by the account in TG groups. I found three posts in the GMX group from the same TG ID asking for the help. To also verify it was the same person I saw the posts were around the same time 0xe4d3 was trading on-chain. https://t.co/KKiZMeXjPn
@zachxbt - ZachXBT
9/ I tracked down a recent payment from 0xe4d3 to an unnamed person who confirmed they had been paid by the HL trader. They provided a UK phone number used to communicate with them. Public record reveals the name William Parker is likely tied to this number. https://t.co/HFaVbQjdsb
@zachxbt - ZachXBT
10/ Who is William Parker? Last year WP was arrested for stealing ~$1M from two casinos in 2023 and was sentenced in Finland. Prior to this WP was known as Alistair Packover (William Peckover) before later changing his name. In the early 2010s AP made multiple news headlines in UK for fraud charges related to hacking and gambling. (match the ages in the articles)
@zachxbt - ZachXBT
11/ It is abundantly clear WP/AP has not learned his lesson over the years after serving time for fraud and will likely continue gambling. Currently the funds primarily sit here: 0x51d99A4022a55CAd07a3c958F0600d8bb0B39921 Here’s a quick TLDR for those people who have a short attention span: In January 2025 after exploiting a casino game and phishing victims, a person previously charged for multiple crimes gambled 6 figs into $20M using high leverage onchain.
@zachxbt - ZachXBT
1/ Throughout this year I have been monitoring someone who has withdrawn 11,200+ ETH ($25M) from Tornado Cash and spent the majority of it on Magic The Gathering (MTG) trading cards. Here’s my analysis of where the funds went and what the potential source of funds could be.

@0xngmi Here’s the archive in case they change it https://web.archive.org/web/20231027174433/https://view.thrivecart.com/high-iq/

1/ It’s unfortunate I have to make this thread but I am being sued by MachiBigBrother for an article I published in June 2022. Today Machi filed the defamation lawsuit. The lawsuit is baseless and an attempt to chill free speech. I intend to fight back & defend free speech.
@zachxbt - ZachXBT
2/ This is a classic David & Goliath story. My understanding is that Machi is very wealthy. I am not. He is using his money to try silence me. I’m asking for your help so this doesn’t happen & the truth survives.
@zachxbt - ZachXBT
3/ I am creating a donation address to assist with legal costs associated with the defense of this matter, which could easily exceed $1m USD. All leftover funds will be returned on a pro rata basis to contributors.

@zachxbt - ZachXBT
5/ It is sickening to see it come to this but I knew one day this would happen as the price of telling the truth is sometimes people dislike what you say. I have always kept my research as objective as possible and let the data and historical record speak for themselves.

22,000 ETH Embezzled and Over Ten Projects Failed: The Story of Machi Big Brother (Jeff Huang) https://medium.com/@investigationsbyzachxbt/22-000-eth-embezzled-and-over-ten-projects-failed-the-story-of-machi-big-brother-jeff-huang-a1ad073fcfa8
@zachxbt - ZachXBT
1/ A thread on the Canadian phishing scammer known as Chards who has stolen millions spending it on luxury cars, watches, NFTs, & social media usernames.
@zachxbt - ZachXBT
2/ A few weeks ago the Discord user madman#9528 became active in the Bored Ape Discord showing off their ENS address madman.eth as well as BAYC 7941 & 6716. Linked to the ENS however was where things got particularly interesting.
@zachxbt - ZachXBT
3/ For example back in September 2022, madman.eth accidentally linked their address back to a phishing attack they were responsible for where BAYC 4651 & 18 other NFTs were stolen for 115 ETH. Luckily in this instance I was able to help recover 33.5 ETH of the funds.
@zachxbt - ZachXBT
4/ Also directly tied to madman.eth is payment to the scammer serpentau.eth (Lock) who is responsible for the recent Azuki, MutantHounds, Chimpers, & AKCB Twitter compromises.
@zachxbt - ZachXBT
5/ And a 17.5k USDC transfer tied to HZ/Chase who recently had their assets seized by the FBI as a result of their phishing scams. https://t.co/YvqHG76Vhg
@zachxbt - ZachXBT
6/ Interestingly madman.eth also purchased a $13.5k Rolex watch from the same watch seller HZ & Diablo got theirs from. 0x4c52189b5d99076f3f876577eda9c836e9504b8821b248e3080314336ade3021 https://t.co/IEfDVUUrC1
@zachxbt - ZachXBT
7/ Madman.eth is linked to the theft of BAYC 5153, receiving 54 ETH just after the Kumaleon Discord server was attacked. Fake_Phishing7900: 0x62d480A2771796493eEBb03965da676C97F398C9
@zachxbt - ZachXBT
8/ Madman then began flexing his purchase of an Audi R8 as well as bragging he’s crashed 3 X BMW M4s in the BAYC Discord. Pretty disgusting considering they were purchased with stolen funds.
@zachxbt - ZachXBT
9/ I used the pics of R8 which then brought me to the Instagram account cold (dave) who purchased the same R8 at a dealership in Canada. Their Instagram account also consisted of wrecked BMWs just as mentioned on Discord. https://t.co/jyyDX3tXEc
@zachxbt - ZachXBT
10/ His Instagram consists of him flexing bottle service at a nightclub in Toronto with friends and pics of his iced out watch.
@zachxbt - ZachXBT
11/ His Discord account shows some of the of the social media accounts owned by him. Twitter: @choke @madman Instagram: liar, cold, blood Discord ID: 1044739071743893605
@zachxbt - ZachXBT
12/ It’s disgusting to see phishing scammers continuously ruin the lives of people in the space with zero remorse meanwhile they flaunt the stolen funds across socials media. I hope this information will help victims such as Snarls, Eurion, and countless others.
