Cry me the biggest goddamn river. If your choices are plugging the leak which is undoubtedly a market manipulating move or going bankrupt, you shake your head, pack your bags, and go bankrupt. You do that over breaking the law.
Well the good news here is stopping trades on individual tickers is not breaking the law :)
