"The SEC alleged that Gotbit and Kedrov manipulated the market on behalf of Pham by self-trading (commonly referred to as “wash trading”) on popular crypto asset trading platforms or by engaging in other trading practices that likewise served no economic purpose"

"they used an algorithm (or bot) that, at times, generated more than $1 million dollars of artificial trading volume each day."

"the scheme was intended to induce investor victims to purchase Robo Inu by creating the false appearance of an active trading market for it."

"Andriunin allegedly kept track of Gotbit’s market manipulation, including with spreadsheets that compared “Created Volume” from wash trades with naturally occurring “Market Volume.”"

"Gotbit used this supply of Robo Inu and Tether to trade with itself—not to meet organic investor demand—and to artificially inflate the trading volume to whatever level Pham and her associates desired."

"The alleged schemes carried out by these individuals and companies involved “wash-trading”—creating fake trading volume through coordinated buying and selling—and other misrepresentations made to attract new investors to cryptocurrencies and artificially inflate the cryptocurrencies’ trading prices."

"because CMC itself can detect suspicious activity in the market and exclude volumes from bitmart."

"Gotbit personnel in the Telegram group chat confirmed that its manipulative trades accounted for most of the observed Robo Inu trading volume that was reported to websites that investors use to track crypto assets, such as CoinMarketCap and CoinGecko"

"The charges allege that these individuals and companies promoted the following cryptocurrencies in particular through one or more fraudulent tactics:"

"Pham telling Gotbit to “slowly increase the volume” of Robo Inu token trades so it would be “trending on cmc”"

"Beginning in or about 2022, Robo Inu allegedly paid Gotbit to artificially inflate the trading volume of the Robo Inu token through wash trades on cryptocurrency exchanges such as Bitmart."

"Gotbit maintained that inflated 24-hour trading volume until 12:00 a.m. on May 23rd, when its large spike in wash trading (from 12:00 a.m. the day before) rolled off the cumulative 24-hour trading total, causing that cumulative total to drop to approximately $623,000."

"In January 2023, Gotbit was told to boost Robo Inu’s volume on the Bitmart exchange to “above 1.1mil daily,” to which Kedrov responded, “Sure, will be done.”"

"Saitama’s market manipulation campaign allegedly began in or about July 2021, when leadership coordinated a series of small purchases spread across multiple cryptocurrency wallets."

"Publicly available price data indicate that, in the hour that this exchange took place, the price of Robo Inu increased approximately 30.8 percent."

"Gotbit staff responded by saying they would do this “gradually” to make it look as if the demand was “organic.”"

"Liu and Ou also described how ZM Quant allegedly used multiple trading wallets to avoid having the trading look “fake.”"

"Pham also sought to have Gotbit increase Robo Inu’s daily trading volume by buying and selling Robo Inu tokens in roughly equal proportion on Uniswap."

"In one 285-day period between November 2018 and August 2019, the ‘created’ volume of the BTC token on behalf of Gotbit clients was 16x higher than its actual volume."
