UNC- closer but not spot on-- because a dilutive event ( DM dumping shares) is an everyday occurrence, there is nothing to manipulate. Shorts can sit there with packing tape over their mouths-- because the shares they need to cover will be dumped in front of them everyday. And the main reason why NOBODY wants to buy this stock today, knowing it could be much cheaper tomorrow. As evidence consider: ISC ships to TSA--blick-o, ISC sells 650 units to Europe--bupkus, ISC consider's strategic options--vinqk. The share was not manipulated to stay in place, its just the way it is with an everyday diluter. And it TED was anywhere near right about them REALLY desiring a higher price/share-- they would have stopped the moment the Strategic Exploration PR dropped...they didn't.
And if you really want to peel away the varnish, you could say ISC is manipulating the SP downward by allowing an abusive loan package, at above market cost, to stay in place for over a year while the company had achieved its promise of landing TSA certs-sales. They did NOTHING about this for over a year. NOTHING.
