$150K FROM A REFERRAL 🤑

Last week, the crypto community was buzzing about a mysterious whale aggressively shorting $BTC on Hyperliquid with 50x leverage.

Speculation ran wild—was he just another degen gambler or an insider with privileged info? ZachXBT weighed in, claiming the whale was nothing more than a "cyber scammer playing with stolen funds."

Then, things took an unexpected turn. A user on X claimed that this infamous whale had signed up through his referral link on Hyperliquid, allegedly earning him a whopping $150K in commissions.

What could have been an epic tale turned out to be nothing but engagement bait. Classic. 🌚

Shorter closed with $9m profit, we lost the war but it's been a long time since we had this much fun on the internet

Gg to the shorter for the win 🫡

@Cbb0fe It’s funny watching CT speculate on the “Hyperliquid whale” when in reality it’s just a cybercriminal gambling with stolen funds.
