Why would shorting be illegal?

• brunooo 4y ago
  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.
