What you maybe don't realize is this: very often, naive traders get pumped on conspiracy theories about SHORTY and nekkid shorting and evil MMs, etc. and *they* contact the SEC, demanding action to KILL SHORTY.

Unfortunately, such demands can trigger undesired interest from the authorities, who then move in and take action in direct opposition from what the complainant wanted...ie, the company and its principals get investigated.
