"The ability to write 7800 contacts had to come from another institutional entity. I will let Nolerman or someone else expand on that."

Well, I'm gonna plagiarize our conversation from yesterday here. There has to be another institution involved. The options likely came from a willing partner who received the premium on selling the puts. The rub lies here...the stock was likely propped up by another institution buying up the shares that HB sold on the open market at much cheaper prices, and with the $5.4MM free shares, both companies likely made money hand over fist. It's a crazy dance, but it makes sense just as much as any other. I'll be watching HB moving forward and buying puts or shorting the hell out of whatever their next venture happens to be.
