I'm not really convinced a low traffic SE article proves the opposite however.

While wsb is on the verge of going full Q'Anon, I find it equally curious how people seem to be willing to deny foul play when you have people like Jim Cramer confessing/bragging to it.

Search for "short ladder" online, all the results I can find are literally days old, many from reddit itself.

Beyond that, the burden of proof is clearly on the "short ladder"-believing crowd, and so far what they have come up with is frankly embarasing.

I have zero problem believing that hedge funds would be more than willing to engage in shady behaviour if it can save them a billion or two, but screaming the nonsensical "SHORT LADDER" every time a highly pumped stock drops is ridiculous.

Does shady stuff happen? Yes. But the short ladder attack is a dumb idea promulgated by people who don't know how things work, and the proof it's happening, fractional prices, is even more spectacularly stupid. This is "how can there be more votes than voters" levels of crazy.
