Pump and dump is the very opposite of collective action: no real value is created, you're just fleecing a bunch of optimists in a very zero-sum game.

(Mind you, a lot of high profile VC deals look like that as well! Remember Wework?)

It's not zero sum if you're on the winning team. That's the collective action. Beat up the nerd, steal his lunch money.
