IPO laddering was an IPO risk during the 1990s tech bubble.

A law website explains how Laddering tricks retail investors:-

Investors observe that an IPO stock’s prices are rising and join in the trading, assuming the shares are moving at an honest rate. Laddering artificially balloons the value of a stock, making it appear to be a hot pick before investors. After the IPO stock’s value rises, the client-investors often sell their shares and make huge profits. Those who are not client-investors of the underwriting firms, and thus not aware that the value of the stock has been inflated, fail to sell, and end up holding highly overpriced shares.

People whjo make money from IPO laddering

In the end the people who make money are the executives of companies that the underwriting firm does banking business with and the investment banks that boost commissions.
