Hyperliquid trader James Wynn was liquidated nine times losing over $1m
Crypto trader James Wynn refuses to leave the perps casino. He continues to place large bets on the Hyperliquid perpetual futures exchange despite mounting losses. In the last two weeks, Wynn deposited over $1.2 million into Hyperliquid. Through a series of highly leveraged trades, he lost almost the entirety of his deposits, getting liquidated nine times in the process. He placed bets worth 10 times the amount he put in, trading Bitcoin, Ethereum, Pepe, and Doge. Wynn's liquidations come after the trader made audacious bets that have led to tens of millions of dollars in losses. Overall, he is down almost $22 million on a single wallet since he started trading on the platform. When using leverage, the trader borrows money to place a bet larger than the amount he initially placed into the trade. If the trade goes in the wrong direction, the trader's collateral is automatically sold by the exchange to cover the loss of the leveraged position. James Wynn's lore Wynn originally gained a following on X for trading memecoins, making a public call for Pepe to hit a $4.2 billion market value when it was trading at only $4.2 million. Claiming to have made eight figures, he took his profits and turned to leverage trading. While Wynn was relatively unknown at the time, he gained mainstream attention in May when he entered a highly leveraged Bitcoin long. During the month, he added to a $20 million position worth 40 times larger than the amount he put in. The position reached a value of over $1 billion at the peak with an unrealised profit of over $100 million. However, shortly after the price of Bitcoin slid, triggering liquidations that led to a loss of $13 million. Despite this, he continued trading with his remaining balance, eventually grinding the account down to essentially zero. But that wasn't the end. Gains after fame Throughout June and July, Wynn collected referral rewards, deposited more stablecoins into Hyperliquid, and opened a new account to continue trading. According to data from lookonchain, a wallet analyser, Wynn opened a new account and deposited over $2 million, immediately opening leveraged long positions on Bitcoin and Pepe. These were liquidated within days and he ended up closing the account by withdrawing $137,000. On July 15, Wynn deposited $466,000 from Binance into Hyperliquid, immediately placing $20 million worth of leveraged long positions on Bitcoin. Within hours, the position was partially liquidated, resulting in a loss of $46,000. However, he kept the position open and eventually closed it in the green. Throughout the month, Wynn deposited a total of about $1.3 million into Hyperliquid, placing a mix of profitable and unprofitable trades. On July 20th, his account reached an unrealised profit of about $750,000. 'Shit's about to get real this week. For the record, I'm overly exposed,' said Wynn on July 27. That streak did not last long as within two days, his unrealised profits eroded to a loss of over $100,000. From then on, Wynn's losses piled up as he was liquidated nine separate times in a row. On Tuesday, Wynn finally stopped trading, closing a Pepe long for a loss and withdrawing about $33,000 to Binance. Zachary Rampone is a DeFi correspondent at DL News. Have a tip?

Alleged deportation avoider charged with assault in Mobile County: MCSO
MOBILE, Ala. (WKRG) — A man who allegedly had been avoiding deportation is accused of assaulting a woman while dropping off a trailer, according to the Mobile County Sheriff's Office. Elmer Amador, 55, arrived at the woman's home on Grady Dunn Road Saturday around 9 a.m. with a trailer, according to an MCSO news release. The woman's boyfriend informed her that the trailer was scheduled to be dropped off. According to officials, Amador approached the woman and allegedly reached down her shirt and assaulted her after parking the trailer. The woman was reportedly able to flee and lock herself in a bathroom to call 9-1-1. 'Upon arrival, deputies located a man outside the residence, near a heavy equipment transport vehicle,' the release said. 'The man was detained, searched, and placed in a patrol vehicle.' Amador is charged with sexual misconduct and third-degree burglary; he was found in possession of $9,455 in cash, according to police.

'We're not just housing people,' Mecklenburg County Jail hosts dinner to reduce stigma around inmates
CHARLOTTE (QUEEN CITY NEWS) — For the first time in the county, local food enthusiasts ate dinner with inmates at the Mecklenburg County Detention Center. On Thursday, July 24, more than 30 members of Charlotte Foodies ate dinner with inmates in what's being called the 'Incarcerated Dinner.' Officials said the goal of the evening was to dismantle the stigma and humanize those in jail. The foodies reportedly didn't know they were dining with people who were incarcerated, as everyone was wearing a Charlotte Foodie shirt to create a shared space without bias or judgment. 'This wasn't just a meal. It was a movement,' Dorian Johnson, MCSO Programs Director, said. 'The idea was to create an experience where the person comes before the perception. By removing labels and sharing a table, we saw genuine connection, curiosity, and compassion. This is what rehabilitation begins to look like.' The dinner featured a five-course meal prepared by Chef Erick Crawford, a formerly incarcerated culinary artist who now runs his own food business in Davidson. The menu included: Shrimp and pimento grits with beef sausage crumble and salsa verde Pickled deviled eggs with crispy turkey bacon and crushed Flamin' Hot Cheetos Hibachi ramen stir-fry Smoked prime rib brushed with pineapple soy glaze, served with mashed sweet potatoes State-cake with honeybun layers and tang citrus cream 'As someone in recovery, this experience hit home. Too often, people who've made mistakes arewritten off, but this dinner challenged that narrative,' Chef Erick said. 'I went from recovery to owning an award-winning food truck, and now a brick-and-mortar restaurant and catering business. There is a path forward, one built on hard work, faith, and community. The reactions on people's faces said it all: joy, connection, dignity. That's what this dinner delivered.' Sheriff McFadden has been adamant about changing the culture within the detention center and reducing the jail's recidivism rate. 'This dinner represents what's possible when we lead with vision, not fear,' Sheriff McFadden said. 'I want Mecklenburg County to be a model for how detention centers can become places of healing, learning, and transformation. We're not just housing people; we're preparing them to return to the community stronger than when they arrived.' Mecklenburg County Detention Center decreasing A/C functionality ahead of scheduled maintenance during stretch of extreme heat Earlier this summer, in June, the Mecklenburg County Detention Center opened a . Unfortunately, a video showed an inmate of the detention center, who was charged in connection with the , participating in the new music program. The family of the victim was not aware the suspect would be in the video, and the Mecklenburg County Sheriff's Office later . The music program is part of a larger effort to provide voluntary, rehabilitative opportunities to inmates. Sheriff McFadden emphasized that these programs are not to determine guilt or innocence, but to offer support and structure for those willing to engage in change. The sheriff's office said plans are underway to host more dinners and other events designed to change public perception and 'give residents the dignity they deserve on their path forward.'
