That's not how exchanges typically work you don't get to choose who fills your order the exchange does.

But you can manipulate the markets in a similar way without a collaborator. It's called running the stops and is an old technique.

They do if you work inside one. Just saying that people have done way more for way less money.

You can accuse the exchange of corruption that's a well worn technique!

Or it could be that this is immergent behavior that exists in all modern exchanges and it hit a population that wasn't prepared for it because of lack of sophistication.
