>Why is this suspicious? I didn't say that it was "suspicious". I said it was manipulation. It appears that you agree? But, maybe you meant to ask why such manipulation is bad, unhealthy, or similar?

That discussion takes place as if we are talking about, say, an asset that is traded in a free market. But, my point is that it is not a free market and that the price is instead dictated more by manipulation and fraud.
