James Wynn, famous for his leveraged crypto bets, said he was “back with a vengeance,” but was liquidated just one day after opening new positions.
James Wynn, a pseudonymous high-leverage crypto trader, was liquidated for about $4.8 million on Wednesday, according to blockchain analytics company Lookonchain.
