Before you go on your soap box, answer this question...
Who was on the buy side of all the Series B HMBL shares for the last year? There were 10 of millions of shares trades every day for over a year despite the pps tanking 99%. It wasn't retail. It surely wasn't institutions.
...so who was it? There's only one answer.
Naked shorts that shorted the crop out of the stock after the RS. Naked shorting in OTC is rampant and the SEC is very aware of it and prefers to look the other way since without them there wouldn't be a market when a stock tanks.
Call it shifty, shady or whatever you like but it's very real... as it is in every OTC stock, without exception. ...some more than others, of course, but nevertheless...
