 “The fraudulent post was deleted 25 minutes later, but the brief window was enough to impact the market. 

Investors bought Bitcoin, leading to a $1,000 price surge. Once the misinformation was corrected, Bitcoin’s price dropped by $2,000, according to the indictment.”

So Bitcoin LOST market cap because of this.

If I believed in the State I’d class action the SEC for damages.
