I bet there is a regulation against pumps on the stock market but crypto is unregulated.
yes, those are the right words.
Stealing is taking something from someone without their permission.
But with pump and dumps, they give you their money, they voluntarily participate.
But tricking others with inside knowledge is not allowed.(never heard of insider trading)
Thats like saying: people give me your sandwich ill give you 2 back and then runaway
