The share price plummeted from the market manipulation

Who manipulated the market? Hopefully nobody says robinhood

Many believe certain short sellers, such as large hedge funds like citadel, were naked short selling which is bad.

So then when share prices dropped, or someone said something bad about gme, it was easy to think it was a big hedge fund manipulating the market. Personally I think it was partly true and partly paranoia.
