Amazon Velocity/Virtual Buys, does it still work?

Velocity/Virtual buys or vBuys what they call it.

I don't know who among the BHW peeps here still do it or has done it but i just want to know if it still works.

For those who doesn't know how vBuys work, it works something like this:

* You need 2 amazon seller accounts.
* 1 is for FBA (main) and 1 is for FAKE FBM inventory of the ASIN of the target product
* the Seller Central (SC) that has the FAKE FBM inventory will copy the ASIN of the target Product and add FAKE FBM inventory.
* will create $$$ OFF coupon code under FBM SC to be used for vBuys
* Using DUMMY Amazon BUYER Accounts, and TOR Browser, they will search the product by its keyword and purchase the FBM products normally and use the coupon codes.
* since it's FBM, Amazon will not detect if the product was really shipped or not.
* It will be done on a daily basis, like 5-10 sales per day PER keyword for 10 days consecutive.
* the result is the target product ASIN will be high-ranking on those top main keywords as it was searched and bought organically.

So, back to my question, does this still work?

I was wondering if you've been able to find more info and expand upon what you know about vbuys? I've been digging into the same topic and have a list of potential ways to improve upon the strategy. PM me and we can chat.
