The current chair of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), Gary Gensler who recently stepped up his push to get crypto trading platforms to register with the Wall Street regulator, is facing massive criticism after being accused of market manipulation by Citadel Securities & Citadel Market Maker.

While he is accused of shorting crypto-focused stocks like AMC Theatres and GameStop through Vanguard Group and BlackRock, the SEC chair is facing a Change.org petition.
