James Wynn and His Second $100 Million Bitcoin Bet: "They're Hunting Me"

In a bold move that sent shockwaves through the crypto community, trading millionaire James Wynn has opened another leveraged Bitcoin long position worth nearly $100 million — just days after being fully liquidated on a nearly identical trade.

From Failure to a Second Gamble

According to data from the blockchain platform Hypurrscan, Wynn's new position will be liquidated if Bitcoin (BTC) drops below $103,630. At the time of the announcement, the position had already recorded an unrealized loss of over $592,000.

This move came less than 1 week after Wynn was liquidated on his previous position on May 30, when BTC briefly dropped below $105,000 — its lowest level in the past 10 days.

Wynn's Plea: "Don't Let Them Liquidate Me"

On X (Twitter), Wynn publicly disclosed his new liquidation price and claimed that a group of "manipulative forces" was deliberately targeting his position.

"They're hunting me. Don't let these evil bastards liquidate me," — Wynn wrote.

Several prominent crypto influencers, including Altcoin Gordon, also spoke out against alleged market price manipulation:

"Within seconds of the position being opened, shady market makers pushed BTC's price dangerously close to the liquidation level."

The Crypto Community Rallies Behind Wynn

Beyond calling for moral support, Wynn also appealed to the community to donate stablecoins to help him keep "fighting the market manipulators." As of the time of writing, at least 24 blockchain users had sent funds to Wynn's crypto wallet — including one donation of nearly $8,000.

Wynn promised that if the trade goes his way, he will refund everyone who supported him.

However, Wynn also revealed that several of his personal accounts on major exchanges had been closed "overnight" without explanation — fueling speculation that he may be being systematically targeted and isolated by powerful market players.

Predicting a Strong BTC Rally

Despite the mounting pressure, Wynn remains firmly convinced that the market will reverse course.
In his most recent post on June 3, he wrote:

"The selling pressure is fading. A strong Bitcoin bounce is coming, and a lot of people are going to be caught off guard."

The Bigger Picture

James Wynn is not the first person to suspect price manipulation in the crypto market, but his case is one of the rare examples of a trader publicly fighting the market with both capital and a platform.

However this $100 million gamble plays out, Wynn's story vividly illustrates the tension, the risk, and the unforgiving nature of the crypto arena.
