DESCRIPTION:Java XU\, PhD Candidate at Harvard Graduate School of Arts and
  Sciences and Institute of Insurance Economics I.VW-HSG\n\n\n \nWhile pum
 p-and-dump (P&D) schemes have attracted the attention of cryptocurrency ob
 servers and regulators alike\, this paper is the first detailed study of P
 &D activities in cryptocurrency markets. We present a case study of a rece
 nt P&D event\, investigate 220 P&D activities organized in Telegram channe
 ls from July 21\, 2018 to November 18\, 2018\, and discover patterns in cr
 ypto-markets associated with P&D schemes. We then build a model that predi
 cts the pump likelihood of all coins listed in an crypto-exchange prior to
  a pump. The model exhibits high precision as well as robustness\, and can
  be used to create a simple\, yet very effective trading strategy\, which 
 we empirically demonstrate can generate a return as high as 80% on small r
 etail investment within a span of three weeks.\n
