Why the rich gets to do this
Dear SEC (not the football conference, but if they could help, then sure), I guarantee that if I owned a company and then constantly pumped it online and told people it was going to make massive returns for them even though I knew it was a fake, crap company, I would be breaking the law. If, after people did buy shares of it, I sold all of it at record highs while leaving everyone else broke, I would be going to jail.
