La fraude de type «pomper et liquider» est l'une des plus anciennes arnaques liées aux placements. Le terme «pomper» consiste à susciter de l'enthousiasme à l'égard d'un placement précis afin d'accroître la demande et de faire grimper le prix […] Le terme «liquider» fait référence à la phase de la fraude où les fraudeurs [vendent] toutes leurs actions [et amassent] une somme d'argent gonflée, bâtie sur du battage publicitaire à court terme.
