Pump and dumps of securities are illegal. I can only assume the SEC doesn't consider cryptocurrencies securities, or Elon Musk wouldn't have gotten away with his utterly blatant bitcoin pump and dump. He did it in public on twitter, using a pubicly listed company's money. Do what he did with a stock, and you're toast.
