Naked shorting has been around for decades and every attempt to regulate it has been thwarted because there was no one to call their bluff. Honor among thieves and all that.... Just think about it... another hedge fund could have done what these redidtors did and just started buying the shares but they didn't... the reason is they all drink from the same trough just like politicians. Buying shares in concert to manipulate stock price is a crime and you will see the SEC make an example out of somebody so just watch your words and always proclaim the reason to buy the stock is that it is "undervalued" and the "shorts are wrong" Also if you are trading be a listener and follower not a talker and leader..... following a trend is never illegal. Touting your profits and bragging is treated as trying to induce others to buy to make you money. Don't trust these jews not to do whatever it takes to scare you from fucking with their gamed system...
