It isall a PLAN. thEY JUST PRETEND TO NOT KNOW WHAT IS HAPPENING. Seen it many times. Next comes the, sorry, they converted, more PR's and dump into dilution. This board will fill with pumpers from penny stock flippers, to the boiler rooms controlling the company.
Meanwhile, they make money from the comapny and the dumping, then once it runs up... They short the crap out of it from .08 down to .008, or .008 to .0008 either way, 10 bags of money.
1 Billion because that gives them all lots to play with... Don't read to much of the PR as it is all part of the play. Just be ready to grab shares at the bottom... That is the hard part, you have to watch it everyday.
