Guys I'm super confused. Isn't it just a circuit breaker? This would have happened with any massive spike in a stocks value. Part of the reason shorting is a strategy is because of the circuit breaker regs. Not saying that's good or bad, but I dont think it's a conspiracy.

Edit: I don't care about fake internet points answer my question.
