Pump and dumps are illegal.

> Pump-and-dump is a manipulative scheme that attempts to boost the price of a stock or security through fake recommendations. These recommendations are based on false, misleading, or greatly exaggerated statements. The perpetrators of a pump-and-dump scheme already have an established position in the company's stock and will sell their positions after the hype has led to a higher share price.

Tesla buying coins, Elon tweeting about them, and then later selling the coins is pure market manipulation.

> (1)For the purpose of creating a false or misleading appearance of active trading in any security other than a government security, or a false or misleading appearance with respect to the market for any such security, (A) to effect any transaction in such security which involves no change in the beneficial ownership thereof, or (B) to enter an order or orders for the purchase of such security with the knowledge that an order or orders of substantially the same size, at substantially the same time, and at substantially the same price, for the sale of any such security, has been or will be entered by or for the same or different parties, or (C) to enter any order or orders for the sale of any such security with the knowledge that an order or orders of substantially the same size, at substantially the same time, and at substantially the same price, for the purchase of such security, has been or will be entered by or for the same or different parties.

It looks like we can also do fraud;

Assuming the different coins [Bitcoin and dogecoin] being manipulated by Musk means that he'll serve about 25 years.

My threads on /r/cryptocurrency have been removed due to censorship, so moving to Bitcoin.

I said this on another thread but Musk likes to play both sides of the aisle. Its so funny how the left gets so uptight about every aspect of life and the problem with the right is they just take whatever the left dishes out to them which is why I'm an independent, anarchist capitalist. Anyway this must be what you're all so mad about and I do find it a bit interesting:
