I sense your stand and where your sympathies lie. Maybe ole Soros can make room on his legal staff for your kind. I believe you'd fit right in.
Who's guilty of stock manipulation and short selling? Surely not the Lehman execs you're ready to hang--their company was a victim of it. Counterfeit stocks? What does that even mean?
BTW, where on earth did you get the idea short selling was a crime? It’s an essential part of a well functioning market, and while it might be appropriate to curb in extreme circumstances, no one who knows anything about securities markets would permanently ban it.
