Can't buy options when in bankruptcy unless to close
When a company is in bankruptcy, people are only allowed to buy options in order to close positions that they have open. So the only people that can buy the call options are people that wrote call contracts and still have them open.
Also, no one is allowed to write (open) new option contracts.
