They buy $600000 worth of NIM/yr to prevent the price from crashing to zero.

Well, they are not keeping the NIM, they are using it to pay their expenses. If their employees/partners accept NIM as a means of payment, how is that a bad thing? That's exactly what NIM is intended for. Ideally at some point of the future, it's not only 16% paid in NIM, but 100%.
But 16% already shows that they are willing to receive their salary in NIM (which is basically the same as investing into NIM), so they actually believe in their own project, which is again a sign that it is not a scam. Nobody would knowingly invest into a scam and they would be the one to know if it was a scam....

Oh, did you notice how they already do this for months? No? Then this is a sign that the latest price jumps are not at all related to the team buying NIM, because they were able to hide it before (probably do OTC trades, as this is how you do large amounts).

You and the "other" FUDers trying to find something negative ("price manipulation") in a thing that is actually positive ("team buying NIM to fulfill their demand") is wimpy.

You raised your point that Nimiq will probably be bankrupt within a few months and the value of NIM will go to zero similarly fast. So why don't you come back in a few months to tell us how you knew it in advance and what a genius you are. Or (which is way more likely) don't come back as you realize how wrong you were and that this project is actually perfectly legit and even positive for their investors at some point....

Analyzing your possible situations:
1. You believe in the project and think it is going to raise in value. You should continue HODL your NIM or even accumulate more at the current low price. You should not spread FUD as this would hurt your own investment.
2. You don't believe in the project anymore and think the value is going further down. You should have sold your bag already would no longer be invested into NIM (so can't claim to be highly invested without lying to deceive other investors). You might waste your time into FUDing, but that wouldn't give you anything valuable, so it's unlikely you'll do it every day for a month already.
3. You are invested into another project and think that hurting Nimiq by spreading FUD will increase the value of the your investment. You can't claim to be highly invested into NIM without lying to deceive other investors.
4. You are a paid shill of another project that wants to hurt Nimiq by spreading FUD. You might be invested into NIM, but your shill payment must be higher than your investments value to make it valuable for you to shill against your investment, so you can't claim to be highly invested into NIM without lying to deceive other investors.
5. You are just insane and have a lot of time to waste on the internet. You might be highly invested into NIM and still spread FUD.
6. You are just insane and after losing money by buying at ATH and selling at ATL, you now also want to lose your time spreading FUD (because time is money, so you can even lose more money on NIM). You can't claim to be highly invested into NIM without lying to deceive other investors.
7. You are Robin and are insane because you smoke too much. You just want to destroy the project at any cost and after you realized you are not going to be able to get the money from the team, you do so by spreading FUD.

It's easy to see that the first case does not apply to you and the other FUDers, as you are spreading FUD. In cases 2, 3, 4 and 6, you'd be a liar (as you claimed to be highly invested into NIM), in case 5 and 6 (and 7) you'd be insane. Which case matches yours?
