ZachXBT says he unmasked mysterious 50x Hyperliquid whale

Onchain sleuth ZachXBT said he had identified the mysterious whale who profited $20 million from highly leveraged trades on Hyperliquid and GMX as a British hacker going by the name William Parker. 

According to ZachXBT’s March 20 X post, Parker — who was previously known as Alistair Packover before changing his name — was arrested last year for allegedly stealing around $1 million from two casinos in 2023. 

Parker also made headlines a decade ago for allegations of hacking and gambling, ZachXBT said.
