Token contract: emits Transfer event two times with half value each time, what is the purpose?

Question

I stumbled across one contract which emits Transfer event two times:

https://etherscan.io/address/0x9dacdbaacff26b233bc6f969f57c61aa0742d4df#code

function batchSend(address[] memory _tos, uint _value) public payable returns (bool) {
    require (msg.sender == owner);
    uint total = _value * _tos.length;
    require(balanceOf[msg.sender] >= total);
    balanceOf[msg.sender] -= total;
    for (uint i = 0; i < _tos.length; i++) {
        address _to = _tos[i];
        balanceOf[_to] += _value;
        emit Transfer(msg.sender, _to, _value/2);
        emit Transfer(msg.sender, _to, _value/2);
    }
    return true;
}

Does somebody have any ideas what is the purpose to call the Transfer event two times with half a value each time?

Answer 1

It is highly likely to be a scam token and contract, as it contains uncommented bits that do not make any sense. They probably added a custom transfer function just to inflate transfer numbers.
