A mysterious Crypto trader who made millions of trading derivatives this year has been identified as William Parker, a doomed scammer, according to Blockchain Sleuth Zachxbt.

Parker earned $ 6.8 million in one position after going for a long time at BTC just before Donald Trump’s weekend message about an American strategic crypto reserve, per. Zachxbt. Then he turned around and earned another $ 9 million to go short BTC as the price pump quickly turned.

All his positions used 50x leverage – a high -risk strategy, as it means that the liquidation price of a position is close to the entrance point.

And it seems that high-risk gambling was this particular trader’s specialty, as Data On-Chain suggests that the wallet often interacted with roobet, gamdom, shuffle, bc game and metawin account-all crypto-based online casinos.

It turns out that the wallet associated with the industry was set as a drainage fee on a phishing site in January, where he received $ 17.1K from a phishing drainage customer in the same month, Zachxbt revealed.

The investigation then dives in a Solana design book that was the first to interact with the trader’s wallet. This sun -designed book made withdrawals from four casinos following an input of the utilization of a casino game. Zachxbt reached out to these casinos that gave him a telegram account for the user.

This telegram account gave the verification that the trader was active on a chain at the same time as placing in derivatives dealing with chats on telegram.

Zachxbt went a step further – finding a payment sent by the trader to a named person on the hyperliquid exchange. This transaction led to the unveiling of a phone number attached to a person called William Parker.

Parker was sentenced last year and sentenced to 2 1/2 years in prison in Finland for stealing $ 1 million from two casinos in 2023. He was served time in 2010 in the UK for multiple scams related to hacking and games.
