Old news but still pure gold:

"According to an official statement by Huobi, an initial loss of 2,500 BTC was the result of an individual trader who on 14th November opened a highly leveraged long position of 40m CNY(6,5mio USD) at a BTC price of 3,000 CNY, only to be forced into liquidation at a lower price (2817.76) when the market took a sharp dive.

Even the forced liquidation price was unattainable, however, since the price at the time was falling fast. The trader's position could only be fully closed at a price averaging 2378.72 CNY, resulting in the system loss. In total, BitVC's futures contract system lost 3032.3848 BTC over the week."

Has the Huobi CEO himself been the mysterious trader? That whole story sounds "strange", especially the opening and closing price.
