Aside from bad PR spreading like wildfire, won't market participants noticing their poorer performance present as a negligible quantity and be written off as bad luck because the volume accounted for by company employees is too small to make a dent? If I understand correctly, for a long time, Redditors in WallStreetBets said they were too small to make a dent in stocks, but it was only because of the run-off effect of being a public forum that GME exploded and garnered attention. I figure that a company with employees that can do things quietly and in an unmonitored, unregulated fashion wouldn't run into people noticing it unless they got stupid and grew it out of proportion.
