Andrew Left, founder of @CitronResearch, is fighting back against federal charges of market manipulation.

Appearing on CNBC's “Squawk Box,” Left addressed the charges that allege “bait and switch tactics” and $20 million in ill-gotten profits. He wasn't shy about questioning the timing of the investigation—just after the GameStop saga. 😬

The charges claim Left used social media to promote trading plans, then acted contrary to them. But Left calls it “risk management,” not manipulation. 🚀 He also took a jab at critics, pointing out that stocks like Nvidia, which he shorted in 2019, have skyrocketed since!

Left argues that sharing facts about companies, even if it moves the market, shouldn’t be considered illegal manipulation. 👀
