Painting The Tape

What does it Mean? An illegal action by a group of market manipulators buying and/or selling a security among themselves to create artificial trading activity, which, when reported on the ticker tape, lures in unsuspecting investors as they perceive an unusual volume.
Investopedia Says... After causing a movement in the security, the manipulators hope to sell at a profit.
