Ex-Employee’s HYPE Shorting Scandal: Hyperliquid’s Shocking Response!

Well butter my biscuit! 🧈 Hyperliquid’s gone and clarified that a certain ex-employee’s HYPE shorting antics are about as related to ’em as a cat’s meow is to a fiddle. Strict trading policies? More like stricter than a Sunday school teacher with a switch!

Hyperliquid Labs took to the soapbox this week to address rumors hotter than a July tar roof. Turns out that suspicious HYPE shorting activity? Belonged to a former team member who got the ol’ heave-ho back in Q1 2024. 😏

The company insisted this ex-employee’s about as connected to current staff as a possum in a tuxedo is to Wall Street. “His actions,” they declared, “reflect about as much on us as a skunk’s perfume does on a rose garden.” 🌹

Hyperliquid’s Ethical High Horse

Now y’all listen here – Hyperliquid claims they’ve got trading rules tighter than a new pair of boots. 🤠 Employees ain’t allowed to dabble in HYPE derivatives any more than a goose can dance a jig. That’s a hard pass for both shorting AND longing!

And don’t you dare whisper “insider trading” near these folks. They’ll boot you faster than a rattlesnake bites, with a side of legal pepperoni. “Integrity?” they say. “That’s our middle name, partner.” 💼

But here’s the kicker – they’re not just whistlin’ dixie. Their policies apparently extend to “safeguardin’ investors” and buildin’ an ecosystem cleaner than a whistle. Sure thing, doc. 👨🌾

Ex-Employee Drama, Yeehaw

Rumor had it some sneaky current employee was behind that 0x7ae4c15… wallet. Turns out it belonged to a former staffer who got shown the door. 🚪

“NEW: HYPERLIQUID TEAM CLARIFIES THAT AN ADDRESS SHORTING HYPE BELONGS TO EX-EMPLOYEE – ‘THIS INDIVIDUAL IS NO LONGER ASSOCIATED WITH US’”

– DEGEN NEWS (Who’s probably writin’ this from a Denny’s parking lot)

When folks started whisperin’ about market manipulation, Hyperliquid shut that barn door quicker than a fox in a chicken coop. “No unethical tradin’ here!” they proclaimed. “We’re as clean as a hound’s tooth!” 🐕

Tokenomics & The Great HYPE Bake Sale

Despite HYPE’s price actin’ like a yo-yo at a rodeo, Hyperliquid swears their fundamentals are solid as a rock in a landslide. Daily revenue? Pfft, they’re flusher than a duck in a thunderstorm. 💸

“With daily revenue funneled into buybacks like grandma squirrelin’ away pickles for winter, this token dip’s a steal!”

– Hyperliquid Daily (Probably run by their cousin)

They reckon temporary dips are “opportunities” for long-term hodlers. Translation: Buy the dip, bucko. 🚀
