Translates to the crypto world with:

Get a group of people to fork from the original printing company, issue an airdrop to all the same people from the original printing company, then with the investments received from those looking at making some easy money buy up as much as possible when it hits the market, once you have spent most of it, start selling in small lots all the airdropped new crypto and you have made a billion!

Damn that sounds like the racket that went on prior to The Great Depression!

Any similarities between the two are purely circumstantial and have nothing to do with human nature and its greed!
