Thetagang is engaging in what is known as a "pump and dump" scheme. This is where he artificially inflates the price of a security, then sells it off at a profit. While this may be profitable for him in the short term, it ultimately harms investors and drives down prices overall.

Wait, no, if a stock is exposed to a pump & dump, doesn't that give a predictible outcome that the thetagang could exploit? They know it's going to go up on a certain timescale based on pump.
