Kernrechtsfrage
Whether the defendant's conduct constituted criminal market manipulation under Art. 161bis StGB
Extrahierter Entscheid
The conduct did not amount to punishable market manipulation because the provision covers only narrowly defined sham transactions, not the transactions at issue.
Extrahierte Begründung
The measures taken were neither wash sales nor matched orders, and the parking-like conduct was likewise not covered by Art. 161bis StGB.
