Andrew Left, a prominent short seller known for his involvement in the GameStop saga, is facing charges from the SEC for alleged market manipulation. The US Justice Department’s indictment accuses Left of manipulating the market through his deleted tweets, which have now reappeared as evidence in the fraud case. Left had previously deleted his research firm’s entire tweet history to fend off what he described as 'class-action attorneys and trolls' looking for dirt in his past stock commentary. The indictment highlights these deleted posts as attempts to move stock prices for personal gain. Left's defense argues that the tweets were merely his personal opinions and not insider information. This case could lead to serious prison time and potentially change the landscape of market regulation.
