Crypto meme coins function as legal bribery vehicles

Let's say if I started a JRE coin and maybe some Middle Eastern government decided they're gonna invest $500,000,000 in a JRE coin and then I announce the JRE coin. I get a substantial stake in the JRE coin. So I get a bunch of JRE coins and then I just dump all my JRE coins and then it goes from being worth x amount of dollars to being worth almost nothing. So that'd be a way I'd pay you. I will invest in your crypto coin, which is a very legal venture. So you get out as soon as it hits the peak. I didn't expect to get any money. I'm just trying to bribe you.
