Is it legal to engage in crypto pump-and-dump schemes? I've heard of some people artificially inflating the price of a cryptocurrency and then selling off their holdings for a profit, but I'm not sure if this is against the law. Can you clarify the legality of this practice and any potential consequences for those who participate in it?
