May 21st. Per monitoring from Hyperinsight (via https://t.me/HyperInsight), the Samsung labor strike crisis has temporarily calmed after the company rolled out a new performance bonus plan; in turn, stock prices for Samsung Electronics and SK Hynix have surged. The largest short seller on the Hyperliquid platform—who holds an SKHYNIX (SK Hynix mapping contract) position—suffered a major setback during this recent price rally. This address opened short positions on both SKHYNIX and SAMSUNG using 4x leverage, with a combined total position size of $5.4 million. Its current unrealized loss has expanded to $940,000.
