Serial dumpers sit on the offer with minimum size displayed---common trading strategy to conceal just how large the position really is as to not spook the market----VFIN and VNDM are two of the MM's of choice for share distribution on the OTC planet...they have sold millions for their customer in the last few months while displaying "only" 10K shares....
