How did it go Pete?
I've monitored these Pump and dump groups in the past and realised they usually have full bags before the time is released and it's the mugs who jump in with FOMO and buy without thinking that are left picking up the pieces as those bags are sold at silly prices as the coin jumps in price then drops like a stone.
I actually saw XRP pump before the date you posted and at first thought there must be some good news because XRP has been suspended on a lot of exchanges because of the impending SEC court case, When I couldn't see anything on google I began to wonder does anybody know any inside info and I was tempted to buy, I didn't but I think that's what this pump and dump was about, trying to catch people out with the same thoughts.
