I followed Zack Morris, but I and everyone knew he was a pump and dump runner. His tagline was "The pump never dies" or something.

I tried a handful of times to short his pumps right at the rug pull, but almost every single time, I lost my position due to a short squeeze.

I ended up losing around $10k, had I been able to hold my positions (more cash in my margin account basically), they would be HUGE wins, because almost every stock he pumped went to near $0 within a few weeks/months. But the poor people who kept the squeezes alive lost so much more when the bottom fell out.

The market can stay irrational longer than you can stay solvent.
