WHAT HAPPENED TO JAMES WYNN? James Wynn (@JamesWynnReal) became a legend on the decentralized exchange Hyperliquid for his extreme leverage trading. He famously turned roughly $500K into $82 million in 2025 by going all-in on $PEPE and Bitcoin with 40x leverage, at one point holding a record $1.26 billion notional long position in $BTC. However, his high-risk style led to repeated wipeouts. In May 2025, he lost nearly $100 million in days. Then, in early April 2026, Wynn was liquidated for the sixth time in just two weeks. On-chain trackers like Lookonchain and Arkham flagged the dramatic collapse in real time... Despite the losses, he has been active on X as of late April 2026, posting about politics, while teasing violent comebacks. The main question that lingers is when his next trade will occur, and, if it eventually happens, will it be another liquidation?

**No recording explicitly says the Ghana trip was "part of a plan," but a leaked phone call from days before the fires shows Bass downplaying it:** "I’m missing two workdays, that’s it." She later admitted in interviews the timing was a mistake, saying if she had full info she wouldn't have gone. Yes, in a 2021 NYT interview before running for mayor, she said she would not travel internationally if elected—only to DC, Sacramento, etc.—but has taken multiple overseas trips since. **Key 2022 campaign promises & outcomes (verified from reports):** 1.
