If anyone still doesn’t understand why manipulating accounts leads to associated bans, let me explain a real manipulation method. Pick a random small coin on Binance and suggest a long position. Let’s say the market cap is $5 million, and I only need to set up $1 million (20% of the market cap, not too hard). Assume 5x leverage allows opening a $250,000 position (Binance used to allow this, but now it’s limited to $50,000). Then I pump it up to 20x, with unrealized profits of $20 million. After that, I use 80 accounts (including sub-accounts) to do an AB account wash trade. At this point, the unrealized profits in the main account (A account) can be withdrawn. The B account uses $400,000 margin to take over the $20 million position, and then I just leave it to liquidate. In the end, I make $16 million profit. This is the theoretical AB account manipulation. Many platforms have been exploited like this before, draining arbitrageurs and the platform’s risk funds. Later, strict crackdowns were implemented, limiting position sizes. If it’s too malicious, associated accounts’ funds will be banned. Some idiots still think this is fine. Here’s an example: you short from 1 to 10, then it pumps to 20. Without considering funding fees, when it drops to 16, your short position gets ADL’d. Then you start blaming the exchange for liquidating your position at a loss. So, let me ask, who caused your ADL? I’ve made money off shady market makers, but I’ve also been ADL’d by them a few times, suffering huge losses. It’s all secondary-level games, nothing much to say.
