Manipulation is intentional conduct designed to deceive investors
by controlling or artificially affecting the market for a security.
Manipulation can involve a number of techniques to affect the
supply of, or demand for, a stock. They include: spreading false or
misleading information about a company; improperly limiting the
number of publicly-available shares; or rigging quotes, prices or
trades to create a false or deceptive picture of the demand for a
security. Those who engage in manipulation are subject to various
civil and criminal sanctions.

For fooling other gamblers? The very essence of gambling is to be
fooled.

they're not fooling gamblers and the stock market is not gambling.

they're intentionally making false and misleading claims for their own
personal gain and that of their clients.
