The greatest likelihood and my speculation is, acting as a group(my guess would be it is as a group following the leader, as the periodic use of hundred share "market maker signal trades periodically show up on the L2 and the "market" seems to respond; just not at the magnitude that would seem to indicate naked shorting authority) or alone; they are the source.
As a matter of fact if one were to read their post history, they have claimed to have inside information and working on deals as if they are from the company, have come on here and encouraged everyone to hold strong for good things coming with those claims(of which everyone did, effectively minimizing the competition for flipping shares upon each PR released by Orie. And then after the "flip" manipulation well ran dry, came back on telling everyone bad things coming, sell sell sell(of which many did), giving him/her/it/them a reload on shares for flipping manipulation. Now compare the timing of posts to subsequent share price over the last year+ and the picture gets a little clearer.
If holders here would actually hold and or support the bid when resources permit and sell anything they pick up on the bid into volume(so they can support the bid again when they signal to drop the price) to take away his competition; instead of panic every time he dumps a sizable block of shares into the bid as they give the illusion of dilution to start the "recycle" avalanche so they can pick up panic shares for the next flip; this individual/group would soon run out of shares to manipulate the stock with. Or would be forced to manipulate it at a higher PPS.
