James Wynn lost a huge amount to make a high-risk bet
Wynn has gained widespread notoriety among the crypto community for its highly leveraged crypto trading on high lipid platforms.
In May 2025, after Bitcoin prices fell below $105,000 and wiped 949 BTC off the account, the $100 million job was settled in the long BTC position of traders. Wynn wrote in a now-abolized post just before liquidation:
“I don’t claim to follow proper risk management or be an expert. If there is, I will insist that I am lucky. I am effectively gambling. I stand up to losing everything.
Wynn opened an additional $100 million Bitcoin bet a few days after the collapse of the Long-BTC position, filmed in May.

The highly leveraged high lipid trader claimed that his position was intentionally targeted by market makers seeking to settle his bets.
He issued an appeal to the crypto community for a donation to fund his account, and at least 24 different addresses were transferred to the traders.
Shortly after that, Wynn announced that he had settled 240 BTC, worth around $25 million at the time, in order to “reduce the liquidation price” for the remaining BTC positions.
Despite the evasive manipulation, Winn was unable to maintain a large position, losing more than 99% of the $100 million, attracting criticism from long-term investors.
