The Augur Foundation will never do that because it would put them in immense legal jeopardy from the SEC/CFTC, and at no point in Augur's growth would that make sense: when Augur is small, the gain from wash trading is much smaller than the potential fines (Intrade was fined $3m this year alone, and it doesn't even operate any more), and when it's large, it's unnecessary.
