1/ An investigation into the alleged identity of the mysterious Hyperliquid/Hyperunit whale, who holds over 100,000 BTC. Recently, he sold over $4.23B in BTC to acquire ETH and is the same person behind the $735M BTC short order placed on the same platform.
4/ This situation shows how thin the line really is between βtrustβ and hidden control in abandoned crypto platforms.
DxSale was once presented as the trusted infrastructure behind countless launches on BNB Chain, including SAFEMOON a project whose team members were later indicted and prosecuted.
If these allegations are confirmed, it would mean the same people who built and promoted the locker infrastructure may have intentionally left a backdoor open for years, only to eventually exploit it themselves.
Even if many of these LPs were abandoned or forgotten, this still represents a massive breach of trust and potentially fraud against investors who believed their liquidity was safely locked.
I believe the funds that were moved through @Binance should be immediately frozen, as they may ultimately belong to investors from projects that originally raised funds through DxSale.

1/ DxSale allegedly drained $7.3M from some of the oldest liquidity pools on BNB Chain LPs locked back in 2021
According to @Tahax1 the exploit involved a silent ownership transfer, 80+ wallet hops and more than 1,400 LPs being exploited
After analyzing the fresh wallet used during the attacks, i believe there are strong indicators pointing to a direct connection with the @DxSale team itself.

Back in August 2025, a user asked me to investigate DxSale and shared screenshots showing that someone was already selling a service through their TG channel, claiming they had direct contacts inside the DxSale team and could unlock old LPs from projects launched before late 2021 taking a 20% cut of the recovered funds as payment
The only requirement, according to them was that someone from the original team still had access to the wallet used to raise funds on DxSale
After todayβs events, it really feels like this backdoor may have existed for years already, which also raises the possibility that the exploit came from someone with insider-level access potentially even a former DxSale team member who already knew how these LPs could be unlocked all along
3/ The address 0xC457 later transferred a total of 3.4K BNB ($1.2M) to these two wallets:

0x4c5ee9703653C8e7725C65593bff372655e0453C
Over the last few hours, the funds were fully off-ramped through multiple Binance deposit addresses, including:

π¨ BREAKING: @DxSale just drained ~$7.3M from OG @BNBCHAIN LPs
DxSale ran the largest liquidity locker of 2021. Hundreds of millions sat inside it. Even $SAFEMOON was locked here
The team is now mixing the funds through what looks like @anyswapbot, and funds are now untraceable
20 hours ago, Garrett ( @GarrettBullish ) transferred $39.5M USDC from the address 0x1cBa79CF8DD10D0D6cD6f098B34DFc3499377829 to Binance. He is still holding $263M USDC in that address.
15 minutes later, the wallet 0x92ea19ECeB7a8dE0f50978A1583A5D8b018050e9, which had been inactive for 2 months, received $40M USDC from Binance.
10 hours after that, Garrett deposited $10M USDC on Hyperliquid to buy 42.5K $HYPE (~$2.1M) at an average price of $50.1 and opened a long position of 504.4 $BTC (~$39.1M) with an entry price of $77,394.
The position is currently up +$158K PnL.
@justinsuntron Iβve tried reaching out to you and several members of your team regarding Trove Markets. Over $1M has already been traced to HTX yet i havenβt received any response or acknowledgment so far

1/ After multiple callouts from @ZachXBT regarding transparency concerns surrounding the project, LAB has now reached the $6.20 price mark.
Someone reported to me that an OTC deal involving $LAB allocations was posted in the "Cybertim Ventures" TG channel, a broker known for facilitating OTC deals
Based on the vesting structure and terms that were shared, this appears to match one of the early investor allocations, suggesting that an investor may have sold part of their allocation at a 50% discount as early as January 5
5/ His personal email, which is connected across multiple social profiles, also appears to be linked to a female TikTok profile, presumably his girlfriend based on the Russian accent
The profile was promoting a campaign built around a β$1 in crypto for every new followerβ concept with a stated goal of buying $1M worth of crypto
Despite the effort, the campaign gained little traction, failed to establish any meaningful presence within the crypto influencer space and the associated Instagram account was later deleted, while the TikTok account appears to have been abandoned
