In some cases, penny scammers like AZFL will have multiple straw brokerage accounts set up, and buy-sell back and forth. The purpose being to generate volume to attract attention. They can also manipulate the price with straw sales. It doesn't matter if they "over pay" for a stock if they are buying-selling to themselves, but it gives the appearance of investor interest, and can lure buyers in at a higher price.
