Web3 Security Firm Salus: Chinese Law Enforcement has uncovered 3 money laundering cases using HyperLiquid, with a strategy structure highly similar to James Wynn's modus operandi

2025.06.06 13:48:29

On June 6th, Mirror Tang, the founder of Web3 security company Salus, posted on social media that since March of this year, Chinese law enforcement agencies have detected three cases of cryptocurrency money laundering carried out using HyperLiquid. The modus operandi entailed leveraging HyperLiquid's high-leverage liquidation mechanism to launder illegal proceeds, offsetting them on HyperLiquid, resulting in liquidation losses. Meanwhile, taking a long position on centralized exchanges to make a profit and completing the fund laundering. Salus will soon release a research article in collaboration with law enforcement agencies to officially disclose this information. Mirror Tang also pointed out that this strategy is highly similar to the recent actions of the whale James Wynn, who opened high-leverage contracts and ultimately withdrew $100 million in profit. Mirror Tang called on Hyperliquid co-founder Jeff to pay attention to this issue, stating that the failure to address the lack of current risk control measures would pose a high risk of regulatory intervention.

The "Big Short" Michael Burry criticizes Buffett’s successor for making aggressive investments when the market is overheated.

"The Big Short’s Michael Burry has stated that Berkshire Hathaway, under the leadership of CEO Greg Abel, is no longer attractive, and he has raised questions about Abel’s capital allocation discipline. Burry argues that Abel deploys cash too aggressively when market prices are elevated, rather than waiting for 'fat pitches' as Warren Buffett does. Berkshire has spent heavily on stock buybacks, equity investments and acquisitions, reducing its cash reserves. Michael Burry is renowned for successfully shorting the U.S. housing market ahead of the 2008 financial crisis, and his investment views have long drawn close attention from the market."
