Everything is public. How is Jane Street manipulating the markets? Feels more like the Indians are sore losers because they couldn't see the patterns that Jane Street did and they lost some money. They should up their game, not punish the winner.

They didn't exploit a pricing pattern, they created one, which is market manipulation.
