Heaps of advice out there for making money, but what is the fastest/stupidest way you have lost a metric craptonne of money
Best way to lose money? yep lose it!

One option in the menu...
Apparently people were quite adept at clicking it by accident...
Of course, the most common way to do it, by far, is to buy a ship you can barely afford, barely upgrade it and think that you are invincible cos yours is the biggest...
Cue forgetting that ship size (cost) does not equal a massive jump in players skill level and a lack of insurance...
Loss of big expensive ship, all those credits, all that time, but, on the forum side, we do gain a good bit of salt...

My best so far ( there will be more I'm sure) bought new ship added premium window tint, colour coordinated interior leather seat trim ... you know the 'works' just about to leave station. cue kids dropping something, i race off not realising in my haste i have bumped controls .... and then im back wondering why sexy-new-and-spensive is jambed in the corner of another landing dock with no shields? then booom. !! Yep didn't even make it out the mail slot
If you are looking to senselessly torch a fortune, fast tracking powerplay forticication supplies has to be one of the best bets, as would PvPing but not rebuying the ship, each time you get splatted take the stock sidewinder.

"How much to move my fleet to Colonia?"
"2.5 billion."
"Deal!"
"Sorry, what's your returns policy?"

Heh heh, I did that! Before I got Horizons I bought an anaconda, A-rated everything, then stacked some missions out of Leonard Nimoy station. Got destroyed several times by the thugs that were sent out to wreck my missions. After several days of sulking I bought Horizons and got into engineering!
Doing donation missions, especially when you have all the ranks/permits available from that side.
Not unbinding eject all cargo instead place it adjacent to the landing gear and boost keys.
Buying a big ship in a station with no core modules available and trying to fly it to a station that does preferably one in a hot spot system.
Ship transfers between the two most distant locations that have shipyards.

Visit Shinrarta in open, put ship on autocruise and wait ...
(Even if you fight back you'd best be ready at the moment)

A rate a Cutter - fully load the cargo bay with the most expensive cargo you can find..
crash and burn... pick the sidewinder option on restart..
rinse and repeat as this will loose you 1.6Bn - 2Bn per cycle.. (depending on what cargo you have in the hold)

The Beluga ..... one fin caught in the grid and it's over 
Anyone else tried the line up with the mail slot from the far end and full power + boost, shields are purely optional as it generally ends the same
Been there today and yesterday. Lost about 400 Mcr.
Now I have a new Corvette, some 7A thrusters for a T-9 I will never use and some modules for a T-7 and T-6. Visiting Shinrarta Dezradawhateverz is indeed costly, but not because of rebuys - because of new buys
Maybe I should buy an other FDS? Not sure what to do with it that I can't do with one of my other 4 FDS, but for just 8 Mcr - it's a steal, almost like getting money!
Those ship sales are poison for my credit balance.

Throttle to zero. Rotate with the station and then a bit more. Fly out of the access corridor.

Taking my Anaconda into a HazRez with cargo.
Sending your fleet on a trip to Colonia wins my vote as well.
Personally, I have never lost more than about 10 million credits - the one and only time my Corvette got shot down before I had the good sense to upgrade it properly.
