The reality is that these OTC markets are allowed to function with virtually no protection for small investors. Market makers can easily manipulate bid/ask due to lower volumes and always have the full order book available to know when the can squeeze down to a trigger point and grab up cheap shares, then return the share price to a point above their purchase price. Hedgies can do it and make millions, plus pay a max tax rate of 20%.

They need not do any DD, they need to know nothing about a stock but the order book. Algos spit out the most vulnerable market prices and the selling kicks in, sell a few thousand, trigger a huge stop loss, gobble it all up, on to the next opportunity.

There is not a breath of interest in what a company does, it's all about making money today. Until regs balance the playing field small investors will get played. And small investors have no lobbyists and no organized opposition, so we are always prey. Act accordingly.
