Actually it seems like it's just shitty crypto down the shitter.  Which is kinda where it belongs.  If your cryptos are so weak as to fall to a few guys with a pump-n-dump group then the shitter is where you belong.  If you're one of the people buying into a crypto that belongs in the shitter then the mistake is on you.  Here's the thing about stronger cryptos: Pumper can't crash 'em.  If he could, he would.  Pumper's got no control over respectable cryptos because he'll just lose his money if tries.  The only cryptos that can fall to these kinds of jokesters are the ones that shouldn't be bought or sold in the first place.  This is the definition of the empirical approach.  Good cryptos have to be able to take attacks.  If you can't take an attack then what is a thread full of crying going to do about it?
