They were long $2 Billion of ETH only 8 days ago, but are closing the entire position after almost getting liquidated.

Net worth went to 350k at my peak from crypto, lost 99% of it on memecoins. Don't know what to do. I also got mugged 5 days ago and I don't even have a phone anymore nor the money to buy a new one.

It appears a hacker gained control of a market maker's accounts on Binance and attempted to move stolen funds by manipulating $BROCCOLI(714).
Smart trader Vida(@Vida_BWE) managed to profit $1M from the hacker's operation.
What happened? โฌ๏ธ
About 8 hours ago, a hacker gained control of a market maker's accounts on #Binance.
To move the stolen funds, the hacker attempted a classic strategy:
- Buy spot with the stolen funds
- Go long perps using other accounts
- Transfer stolen funds through coordinated self-trading
The hacker chose $BROCCOLI(714) โ a token with low liquidity and shallow depth, making it easy to pump the price.
Trader Vida had already set up price alerts, including:
- +30% price move within 1,800 seconds
- Spotโperp price divergence alerts
These alerts immediately flagged abnormal activity.
Noticing the anomaly, Vida opened long positions early, riding the price surge caused by the hacker's aggressive spot buying.
But all manipulation-driven pumps end the same way โ with a sharp dump.
Vida closely monitored the spot order book, watching for when the hacker would pull large bid orders.
Once those large buy orders disappeared, it likely meant Binanceโs risk control team had stepped in and restricted the hackerโs activity.
That was the signal.
At that moment, Vida:
- Closed his long positions
- Immediately flipped short
Perfect timing.
Result?
On the very first day of the 2026 New Year,
Vida walked away with $1,000,000 in profit.
A textbook example of alert systems, order-book reading, and execution discipline.
