+1 despicable behavior.

If even one option or short position is found for anyone involved I hope they face jail time (spoiler: they won’t).

Why would shorting be illegal?
Tempted to come up with a market manipulation angle, but actually great question.

If eg Founders Fund put on a decent short right before mailing the portfolio, I wonder how one could pierce through a “how’s that different from Hindenburg / Adani” defense.

Fingers crossed for a good Matt Levine take next week…

Shorting is not illegal - market manipulation is.
