Short selling - the bug bounty hunting for the stock markets. Also no smoke without fire?

If their accusations are correct they already made a hefty profit with shorting the stock.

If their accusations do not hold water SEC will fine them for the market manipulation - would be quite hard to dispute it in this point.

Why would anybody take a risk of getting SEC coming after them?

But then it gets quite murky if some of the claims are true and some untrue.

Not just the SEC. GE could sue them into oblivion as well.
