@AltcoinGordon asks about running a 2k market cap meme coin to 200k — pump-and-dump risks and CFTC warning for traders

According to @AltcoinGordon, the account asked whether to post a 2k market cap meme coin and run it up to 200k, indicating intent to drive a rapid price increase via social media signaling (source: @AltcoinGordon on X, Sep 7, 2025). Regulators warn that coordinated efforts to inflate token prices are characteristic of pump-and-dump schemes in virtual currencies and can lead to swift losses and potential legal exposure for participants (source: U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission, Customer Advisory: Beware Virtual Currency Pump-and-Dump Schemes, Feb 2018). Traders should treat ultra-low-cap meme coins and sudden social-media promotions as high risk due to thin liquidity and manipulation vulnerability and refrain from buying based on hype or abrupt spikes (source: U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission, Customer Advisory: Beware Virtual Currency Pump-and-Dump Schemes, Feb 2018).
