It's not about lawyers being good or not. What we currently have in financial markets is far from a lawful or just system. Just look how Musk manipulated TSLA and got away with a slap on the wrist $20 Million fine. He openly mocked it on twitter afterwards. And that's just a blatant example from someone who doesn't even care to hide it. That recent GME manipulation wasn't an exception, it's the norm. There are a ton of hedge funds engaged in "technically" illegal trades worth billions of dollars. But who's going to stop them when they're in uncovered short positions, which happens all the time. There is no higher power. The SEC is a paper tiger. If you want to sue Citadel, be their guest. The lawyer's fees and occasional fines they pay are already taken into account. Not that someone like you and me could even afford to bring a case against them.
