Short and distort exists, and as you say is hard to prove. Shorters will also gain at best a slap in the wrist and a tiny fine for breaking the rules. And that would be years upon years after they've made profit. They even got a waiver for a margin call at one point-but that's beside the point.
Distorting SP for personal gain goes both ways. **Cough, cough ELON cough. And they will always end up costing someone holding the bag. At one point, someone bought TSLA at 1,200 USD and was hoping for a 5000USD price in 5 years.
For reference AMC is 65x P/e. Gamestop is negative P/E, and Tesla is a measly 200 P/e after losing 45% from its peak.
