Illustration: A wallet shorts PONS and CASHCAT and still owes $25M

Loracle held a 3x short on PONS worth over $16.5 million on Hyperliquid.[1] His CASHCAT short was 36.3 million tokens worth over $6.2 million.[2] The shorts were up about $2.3 million; past contract losses were about $25 million.[3] When PONS hit its all-time high, the short was down more than $6.9 million.[4] Overseas KOL MLM claimed he raised eight figures to hunt the shorts, then did nothing.[5]

Who gains, who loses

[1] A single wallet controls a PONS short large enough to move the market; smaller longs are below his notional.
[2] The same wallet is the largest CASHCAT short, so a rally against him would force covering pressure.
[3] Even with $2.3M in gains, his $25M past losses mean he may sell winners to cover past deficits.
[4] He survived a $6.9M drawdown on PONS, showing he can hold through liquidation-level pain; traders who front-run his cover may get trapped.
[5] A publicly announced hunt with no action left the whale unpressured, so the short remains the dominant supply above the market.
