OP story checks out; I have independently confirmed this by thinking about it.

So the guy decided to go play a little 5/5 PLO and said to himself " I should bring at least 60k with me ".

i once saw i guy lose 3.2k in 1/2 nlhe live in ~5 hours

after the first 600 he was just jamming every hand pre

sickest losing streak i witnessed

i also doubt that 60k in 2 hours of 5/5 PLO is even possible.

Only possible if game is uncapped obv

If it's uncapped with 10k+ stacks then this could happen, at 200bb/buyin not so much

True - but IF we assumed the story was true, surely we would also assume the guy had been sitting a while, along with someone else and they had both built huge stacks..

When the buy-in is uncapped everything is possible.

I once witnessed a 27k pot at 1/2 PLO.

I thought it might have been your gimmick account Craggoo but the story didn't begin with "I was playing a $1/$2 home game" so it can't have been.

Those aren't gimmick accounts. They belong to Craggoo's fans. You're just jealous because you don't have any.
