I also think his stunt is hypocritical by the way, and I think he fucked over "monero enthusiasts" a lot more than the "pump & dump" crowd, because the pump& dump crowd is probably playing the market really well right now and making a ton out of these 25% price fluctuations.
I agree. He actually helped the day traders, since they were probably prepared to sell at the time of the "announcement".
The trading newbies were the main losers, I guess.
And the XMR hodlers may have just bought seeing that the 50$ barrier was smashed and hoping that the 100$ is near. Disappointing...
