This appears to me to be an issue of illegality as opposed to maintaining orderly markets.

When groups or individuals conspire to manipulate stock prices--that's illegal. Thats not only happening, its being publicly flaunted.

I, too, don't care about the VIX, beta.... stuff fluctuates, people act irrationally, and yes, prices don't equate to actual value other than coincidence. But laws and do rules matter. And confidence in the administration of the Law matters a lot.
