Shorting on companies mishaps

Hello, mainly forex trader here. I'm not very into bonds and stocks, but i had this idea. Since economics of smaller companies are easier affected, aren't some people trying to sabotage it? I mean what if i own a successful and growing company and some guy on a trading platform shorts a huge order, then he goes and burns down my factory. Its easy money for him right? Has this ever been done before ? Are there any popular or loud cases of this kind of scam ?

EDIT 1: just found out that before 9/11 there were record high amount of short orders on indices..
