Yes, because everything has to be a giant conspiracy theory
OTOH,
If someone had such a plan, then to me he would be really stupid. Investing in bitcoin already gives you chance to be rich without dirty tricks. There is simply no need to.
And if someone is thinking to have even more billions then my question is what for? Look at Bill Gates. Even if he could he can't spend such amount of money he owns in reasonable way and you won't take that money to your grave too.
It has nothing to do with getting rich or even greed. The point for those who are addicted to wealth and power is not just to get rich, it's to screw over everyone else in the process. Rich is relative. A million dollars isn't rich if everyone has a million dollars. But if you can keep it so that statistically, most people only have $10,000 dollars and you have a million dollars, you get your "fix" of wealth and power. And then you do it some more so that now most people have $1,000 dollars and you have one billion. Etc etc. They are attached to wealth and power so they hurt others in an effort to extract even more wealth and power from them (many ways to do this - currency debasement, centralized food production starting with grain agriculture, regulation & market controls, etc)
