    It was about stocks, not options.

    Here are 3 generic cases (from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Market_manipulation)
    that authorities could make a court-case of:

    - Wash trade: "Selling and repurchasing the same or substantially the same security for the purpose of generating activity and increasing the price".

    - Bear raid: "Attempting to push the price of a stock down by heavy selling or short selling."[7]

    - Quote stuffing is a tactic employed by high-frequency traders that involves using specialized, high-bandwidth hardware to quickly enter and withdraw large quantities of orders in an attempt to flood the market, thereby gaining an advantage over slower market participants.[8]
