An unsourced financial neologism, for a purported shady (but allegedly "not illegal") financial scheme. I can find no evidence this term is used (all searches find the regular hydraulic fracturing only). There's no concrete claim about what country or financial system this is supposedly done, or when, or by whom. The article has been tagged unsourced for 7 years; it is the original creator's only contribution. Whether it's a neologism that didn't stick, a hoax, or someone's plot for a really dull novel, there's no reason for it to be a Wikipedia article.
