It's quite interesting this news comes out when USD is taking an heavy hit against HKD for the last days: https://finance.yahoo.com/q?s=usdhkd=X

Depending in the leverage they used for betting against the HKD these people might be at a serious risk of loosing everything they put there in case the trend doesn't suddenly change or if they don't get enough money from other sources to hold their leverage.
