What Does Painting The Tape Mean?
An illegal action by a group of market manipulators buying and/or selling a security among themselves to create artificial trading activity, which, when reported on the ticker tape, lures in unsuspecting investors as they perceive an unusual volume.

Investopedia explains Painting The Tape
After causing a movement in the security, the manipulators hope to sell at a profit.

HRRN gets painted with frequency.
