I wonder how much DOGE Elon Musk holds, and how his, or anyones behavior towards these speculative coins is any different.

So you're speculating that the world's richest man (give or take) risked a felony conviction by running an illegal Dogecoin pump-and-dump scheme? Is that right?

I'd wager that Musk's Doge-pumping buffoonery is more of a hobby than a revenue-generating side gig. If he ends up in federal prison, It'll be for cooking Tesla's books.

Second this. I don't think he owns any asset he promotes besides TSLA. The rest are clearly for the lulz.
Can someone do a crime even if they don't mean to? Like, maybe he did not want to take advantage of that but his actions resulted on him pumping DOGE.

Something like the difference between involuntary manslaughter and murder?
