The rules of the stock market say reselling borrowed securities is ok though, and both borrowers and lenders agree to these rules when entering into deals. I'm not sure why anyone needs to turn a blind eye.

But the rules of stock market is not law. If this was legal then you could do any sort of money laundering, so why authorities turn the blind eye to this?
