This very scheme can be considered fraudulent. It appeared long before cryptocurrency trading and led to the so-called South Sea Bubble.
How does it work?
Fraudsters buy tokens in small portions so as not to provoke a sharp rise in the rate. As a rule, these are little-known cryptocurrencies or shitcoins.
