$AKE a bandar makes two positions, short and long. Their marketing trick is simple: doing a short to lure retail traders to follow and join in making a short. When the retail traders fall into the trap, suddenly the bandar switches to a long and takes those shorts. After the bandar profits, the bandar leaves. The market then suddenly drops, and the retail traders think the decline will continue, even though it's another trap. Then the bandar suddenly enters again, and it keeps happening like that. It seems this bandar is extremely, extremely rich—maybe a sultan from the Middle East who just throws away his filth and uses banknotes to wash it off 😭
