What does the “Face of the people who sank all their money into the FX” meme mean?

Where does the “Face of the people who sank all their money into the FX” meme come from?
The visual comes from the Japanese anime Ai Mai Mi, an adaptation of Choboraunyopomi's manga released in 2013. The specific scene appears in the ninth episode of the first season, titled 'FX', which aired on March 1, 2013. In this episode, the main character, Mai, asks to see 'the face of someone who squandered all their money in FX'. In response, Ponoka-senpai, a high school student, appears with a frozen and stunned expression. This dialogue creates the Japanese term 'FXで有り金全部溶かす人の顔'. On the Japanese web, the image quickly became an emblematic representation of leveraged trading risks. It was widely remixed into collages and parody illustrations, notably on pixiv, symbolizing personal financial catastrophe.
