That's one way to stop those manipulators. Maybe other medium to big exchanges do that too. That's why I use decentralized exchanges now for trading and transacting. I seldom use centralized exchanges anymore because of these issues and more, like security. Be careful guys.
Yes, I hope this truly stops manipulators because it’s just their ways and it’s no longer a new thing either. This is not just applicable to south courier alone but even in Europe.
I think the idea of faking trades and increasing volumes is to deceive incoming investors and that is really unfair but just like you said it’s better to just use decentralized exchanges for trading and even for security reasons which is what I do also.
