By "what WSB did" are you taking about a short squeeze? Those are not uncommon and no one has ever been prosecuted for it.

Or is there something else that WSB did beyond squeezing the shorts?

Organizing a team to do the short squeeze. Though you can quibble on “organizing” part when it comes to WSB.
