If one can't influence the price of stock due to "fame" or "influence" in and of itself, doesn't this put public.com in extraordinarily hot water [1] ? What about Unusual Whales, Quiver Quant?

Where is the dump? Last time he held the shares for a very, very long time.

How is it a pump and dump? He doesn't need anyone to do anything.

He has the position and the funds to make the play himself.

How does this adage describe the law? Where is the deception and fraud explicitly? Where are the non-verifable claims made? Where is the dump?

He has explained his thesis hundreds of times in public, he's following thru with that thesis, there's no surprise or rugpull.

For him to be involved in fraudulent pump-and-dump he'd have to be an insider or being paid by insiders to pump up the price. There's zero evidence of that.

That's... not at all true. There's no insider connection required for a pump-and-dump to be considered fraud. Maybe you're confusing it with "insider trading", which is a different thing.

In the past, he had call options that he could've sold for profit but instead he exercised them to get even more GME stock. It's literally the opposite of dumping.

The whales manipulate markets much more than anything Keith Gill has done.

> This is called a pump and dump scam

It isn’t a pump and dump if he isn’t lying about it to pump it up (talking about your own actual position or the fundamentals isn’t “pumping”) and if he isn’t dumping it (“diamond hands” is sort of his thing)
