I'm surprised some wealthy cryptonerd didn't tickle this stock GME style.

My guess it's a combination of the capital requirements being insane for a single person to pull off, and the possibility of the SEC going after them for price manipulation.

How are limits defined on what one entity can buy or sell at once ?

IANAL, but afaik prosecution is based on intent rather than buy/sell volume. There isn't a prescribed dollar/percentage amount that separates legal/illegal behavior. See the indictment for Philip Falcone, who was prosecuted for market manipulation: https://www.sec.gov/litigation/complaints/2012/comp-pr2012-1...
