I wonder if it is illegal for a group of traders in a boiler room to wash trade between themselves covering short trades for each other at a peanut/ beer money gains, or break even / small loss ? They also just wash trades same shares back and forth sometimes multiple times a day. Doing this over and over on a daily bases is highly illegal and would be subject to prosecution if there is proven to be collusion... YIKES! THEY BETTER HOPE THE SEC ISNT WATCHING!
