It is if you are offering a price lower than your costs which you offset by cash from earlier deals, which the new upstart cannot do. When the new upstart is bankrupt you push the price higher, because now there's no competition anymore. That's the reason such stunts are forbidden (at least in civilized countries).

And when you go bankrupt because you're unable to run your business, you'd consider that completely voluntary?

How is it not voluntary? I started it. I knew upfront I could fail. Has anyone else forced me to fail?
