Unmasking the Hyperliquid Whale: A Fraudster’s Tale of Bad Luck and Bitcoin

Well, well, well, folks! Gather ’round, for I have a tale that would make even a catfish blush. Our dear friend, ZachXBT, the internet’s very own detective, has managed to surf the turbulent waves of crypto to reveal the identity of a certain trader known to all as the “Hyperliquid Whale.” And lo and behold! This so-called leviathan of liquidity turns out to be a notorious fraudster with more tricks up his sleeve than a magician at a county fair. 🐟💰

According to the latest chatter in the digital marketplace, this villainous rogue, who recently raked in a shiny $20 million through dubious means, is none other than a fellow named William Parker. A chap from the UK with hobbies as shady as a tree in a thunderstorm. Why, back in 2023, he was caught red-handed swiping nearly a million dollars from two unsuspecting casinos before packing his bags for a vacation in a Finnish prison. Talk about taking a gamble! 🎲

The unquestionable evidence laid out by our sleuth Zach suggests that between January and March of this year, Mr. Parker was busier than a one-legged man in a butt-kicking contest, opening multiple high-stakes positions on platforms like Hyperliquid and GMX. It’s almost as if he was betting against his own luck! And, just before the announcement from Trump about his crypto reserve, the lad decided to dive headfirst into long positions for ETH and BTC—because, you know, what could possibly go wrong? 🚀

Now, ZachXBT, bless his heart, must have put on his Sherlock Holmes hat, for he pieced together this puzzle like a game of jigsaw with one too many missing pieces. After tracing the onchain links tighter than grandma’s hug, he uncovered a UK telephone number belonging to none other than our dear William Parker. Why, I half expect to hear the man’s life story next in some kind of half-baked biopic! 🎬

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…

Zach’s words ring true, my friends. It is as clear as a summer’s day that William Parker—having donned more masks than a Halloween store—is evidently a gambler who hasn’t learned his lesson from the first round of the school of hard knocks. So gear up, folks, for one could only guess that this tale of financial foolery is far from over! If Zach were a fisherman, I’d say he caught one fish too big for his line! 🎣

As for the illustrious ZachXBT, famed for his knack at uncovering the underbelly of the blockchain world, let’s hope he continues to unravel the cloth of digital deception. After all, it’s said that the past is never dead; it’s not even past, and in some cases, it might even be trading on cryptocurrencies! 📈
