The "profit" is not from hype, it's just people making payments to him for illegal services by buying the still worthless art at new arbitrary prices. A small number of total suckers maybe buying hype but that's likely a small minority.

Hype -- the artists reputation -- is 100% of the artworks value. The exact same thing they do on Wall Street with a stock, artificially inflate its and sell off.

it's so overvalued that it must be almost 100% fake evaluation and there is actually zero hype, except maybe with a few pretentious art students....
