Roger Ver- the CEO of Bitcoin.com is one of the biggest promoters of Bitcoin Cash ever since it was hard forked from Bitcoin. Ver believed that Bitcoin should be a peer-to-peer transaction system rather than just being a store of value. The position that caused the loss for Ver was a leveraged 600-800K BCH long.
As a result, BCH has fallen 7% to reach the price of $104.
