The recent events surrounding GameStop have been seen by many as a battle between David and Goliath, and by others as a threat for the well-functioning of financial markets. Recent discussions about the applicability of market manipulation rules to this case have shown that the legal debate itself is far from being settled. This talk, by Paul Oudin, takes the GameStop case as an opportunity to revisit the scope and purpose of these rules from a theoretical and practical perspective.
