Begged for donations to avoid liquidation.

The downfall of James Wynn
We don’t know much about James’s past.
He was born in a small town in the UK
In December 2020, Alameda sent James Wynn around $6,000 in ETH
But he would become known years later
In 2023, James Wynn found PEPE early.
He bought at $300K market cap and called it at $600K.
That win made him famous.
After that, he started promoting new tokens on his profile and private groups.
During 2024 and early 2025,
James kept shilling new tokens on his profile
One of them was WYNN a token supposedly linked to him
It launched quietly and soon crashed
He erased most traces of it
James then rebranded as a Hyperliquid trader.
He even turned down a $150K/month offer from Bybit, saying no one could buy his loyalty.
In May, he longed $1.1B of BTC with 40x leverage
In May 2025, James Wynn was trending for his huge positions
James was long on everything:
- $PEPE (10x): $23.4M
- $TRUMP (10x): $5.7M
- $BTC (40x): $4.96M
- FARTCOIN (5x): $4.45M
In May 22nd
James Wynn was sitting on an unrealized profit of over $39M
He turned $550,000 into $87,000,000 in just 70 days.
But then Bitcoin started to fall.
In just 7 days, he lost $99M.
Even after adding more collateral.
James didn’t seem too hurt by the loss.
He said $0.1B wasn’t a lot of money.
And dropped lines like:
“Money isn’t real.”
Soon after he started asking his followers for donations
Some say he received up to 6 figures.
But he still got liquidated
The final time on a Bitcoin short with a liquidation price at $112,000.
Today his account was suspended.
And there’s no sign he’s coming back.
