Such things, in my opinion, are completely expected and "normal" for the crypto market.

We've seen such examples with Dodgecoin and Elon Musk's speech and even with Bitcoin, so I'm not personally surprised.

And I'm not sure how big a crime it is to buy a coin at a very low price (after all, that's the goal of the market) and then advertise it on social media and raise the price.

He would just easily escaped out such issue even though he would be freed in situation like this but the damage that had been done when it comes to his reputation will really remain forever which means

people would hear of any of his suggestions of sentiments would really already turn out to be a joke for anybody since he had been known about shilling out for his own sake or making money then
no one would really be believing on him this time.

This is what he truly deserves on manipulating out those noobs in the market by shilling out those shitty projects and telling that it is worth.Sounds not really that much of a heavy
kind of crime but still we dont really need these kind of people into this market.
