Some guy who had a vendetta against me called me out, draftkings investigated, and said we were in the clear. Be my guest. I was never banned for it, never given a slap on the wrist, and it's not like I went to prison for any wrongdoing I was a part of. It was a commonplace practice that many did, that afterwards we changed due to public opinion. Just like what you're doing here.

Your scheme failing to work is not indicative of it being right or wrong. You tried to manipulate how the charts looked, failed, and the price didn't do what you attempted.

I'll just leave this here one last time:

Market manipulation is a deliberate attempt to interfere with the free and fair operation of the market and create artificial, false or misleading appearances with respect to the price of, or market for, a product, security, commodity or currency.

Again, the more I hear you talk, the more it sounds like you don't actually think it was wrong. So again, I'm giving you the benefit of the doubt, and just leaving you with my, and other smart trader/investors opinion on the matter.
