It's relatively easy to move the price on a low interest stock. The problem with GME is it was shorted something like 140% of the available floating shares. If the shorts hadn't shorted the stock so excessively, we wouldn't be talking about GME today, it's what left them exposed to so much risk. The blame lies squarely with the shorts, or the lack of regulations preventing absurdity like 140% short interest.
