Andrew Tate is bleeding money on Hyperliquid. His trading positions have been liquidated 108 times, pushing total losses to nearly $890,000 — all while Romanian prosecutors pile on fresh criminal charges.
The numbers are pretty wild. Crypto analyst Lookonchain caught Tate opening a 40x long position on Bitcoin worth $3.75 million. The liquidation price was set at $65,215. Bitcoin dropped to $64,500. Gone. After that wipeout, Tate flipped direction and opened a 40x short position — which, at last count, was already down $9,400 and set to get liquidated if Bitcoin climbs back to $66,052. So he’s basically getting squeezed from both sides, long and short, in a market that doesn’t care who you are. High leverage trading in crypto is brutal under normal circumstances. Doing it 108 times and losing nearly $890,000 is a different category of painful.
108 Liquidations and Counting
The scale of the losses matters here. It’s not one bad trade. It’s a pattern. Lookonchain’s data paints a picture of someone repeatedly taking on massive leveraged risk in a volatile market and repeatedly getting burned. A 40x position means a roughly 2.5% move against you wipes the whole thing out. Bitcoin moves 2.5% in an afternoon sometimes. That’s not a flaw in the strategy — that’s basically the strategy itself. And it’s cost him close to $890,000 so far.
He’s still trading. That’s the part that’s hard to ignore. Despite the losses, Tate hasn’t stepped back from Hyperliquid. The current short position, down $9,400 with a liquidation trigger at $66,052, shows he’s still in the game. Whether that’s confidence or something else entirely isn’t clear.
Crypto markets have seen plenty of high-profile traders blow up on leverage. It’s not a new story. But the combination of this kind of financial pressure with the legal situation Tate is currently navigating makes the trading activity worth watching.
Romania Expands the Criminal Case
Romanian prosecutors aren’t done with him. The latest charges involve a Romanian woman who says Tate trafficked her into his webcam operations back in 2017. She was 39 years old at the time — or rather, Tate was 39 years old; the source didn’t specify her age. Prosecutors say he used emotional blackmail and false promises of a relationship to pull her in. The woman was described as vulnerable, with no family support and limited financial resources. That specific detail — the targeting of someone isolated and without a safety net — is central to the prosecution’s framing of how his alleged operation worked.
Tate already faces serious charges in Romania, including human trafficking and rape. The new allegations add another layer to a case that’s been building for years. Romanian authorities say he was part of a criminal gang aimed at sexually exploiting women. The accusations include forming that gang, human trafficking, rape, and engaging in sexual activities with a minor. It’s a long list, and it keeps getting longer.
The method prosecutors describe is consistent across the allegations: promises of romantic relationships, emotional manipulation, targeting women who lacked support. That pattern is apparently what they’re building the broader case around.
UK Charges and the Extradition Question
Romania isn’t the only jurisdiction with Tate in its sights. The UK has pressed charges against Andrew Tate and his brother for 21 offenses — including human trafficking and bodily harm. Those charges are waiting. Extradition to the UK can’t happen until the Romanian proceedings wrap up. So the UK case is basically on hold, contingent on whatever happens in Bucharest first.
That’s a complicated legal position. Two countries, multiple serious charges, and a sequencing problem where one jurisdiction has to finish before the other can even start. The international dimension of all this makes the timeline genuinely murky. No one’s saying when the Romanian case concludes. Could be months. Could be longer.
And while all of that plays out, Tate keeps trading on Hyperliquid. The short position sits there, $9,400 in the red, with Bitcoin sitting just below the $66,052 level that would trigger another liquidation.
108 liquidations. Nearly $890,000 gone. A new trafficking charge in Romania. Twenty-one charges waiting in the UK. The 40x short position currently losing money.
