Fact Check
Multiple sources corroborate that Jeffrey Huang, known as 'Machi Big Brother,' increases his high-leverage crypto positions while simultaneously experiencing significant losses. For instance, reports from Phemex and ainvest.com state he increased his '$PUMP' long position and 'doubled down' despite accumulated losses of over $5.8 million and $10 million, respectively. Evidence also shows he opened new high-leverage positions which subsequently incurred millions in losses, demonstrating a pattern of opening or adding to leveraged trades amid financial downturns.
