The original Ember X post (https://x.com/EmberCN/status/2062347395384725976) directly states 120,000 ETH long opened at average $2,261, $58M unrealized loss, $11M USDC margin added, and a lowered liquidation level—matching the claim exactly. Odaily newsflash 486688 independently reports the same figures, and an earlier PANews article tracks the same position with a smaller loss ($47M) as ETH fell further. All details corroborate.
