There is no reason whatsoever to delist the stock; it (probably) wasn't its (the company) idea to run a pump-and-dump scam. What the market authorities CAN do is to halt trading in the stock for a while, say 72 hours, which leaves the scam artists (who had to acquire shares of the company they intended to pump, then dump) with a bunch of stock they could not dump. After 72 hours (or however long) the potential buyers would long since have forgotten the "upside potential" of the pumped stock.
