Prominent on-chain investigator ZachXBT has claimed that William Parker, a UK man linked to a $1 million casino theft and previous hacking scandals, is the mysterious Hyperliquid whale.
The entity allegedly manipulated crypto markets, profiting around $20 million using highly leveraged positions.
Shady Trades and Suspicious Profits
In a thread on X, ZachXBT detailed how the whale’s initial funding came from an input validation exploit on a casino game. The exploiter apparently negotiated payouts via a now-deleted Telegram account, which ZachXBT linked to Parker’s UK phone number.
Formerly known as Alistair Packover, Parker’s criminal history dates back to the early 2010s when he faced fraud charges in the UK for hacking and gambling-related crimes. Last year, he was arrested in Finland for stealing $903,000 from two online casinos by manipulating game outcomes.
