Bear Raid
The illegal practice of attempting to push the price of a stock lower by taking large short positions and spreading unfavorable rumors about the target firm.

Investopedia Says:
In a bear raid, the manipulators profit on the difference between the original stock price and the lower (manipulated) price. This was a popular practice in the early 1900s.
