The manipulation is quite obvious. Even Duelittle2 was capturing screenshots of L2 for a while.
Do you remember when the last run up was? When the manipulation stopped, and we traded in a free market? Good. I'm glad you remember. There was a reason for it. Someone did something about it.
A few on the board even state "If Keith is so unhappy with the share price, why doesn't he do something about it". Then why does the notion of taking action seem like such a long shot and unrealistic. If I was CEO and had this going on, I would absolutely make my first stop the SEC.
You're right, though, WAKE UP! No one should be surprised to see the company take action, aggressive action.
