Mav, maybe you really are as niave as you claim about options. There's only one thing you need to understand. It is impossible for Beach, or anyone apart from the parties involved, to conclusively identify what is about to occur with the Oct puts and the shorted shares. We don't know who the parties are to these transactions, we don't know what strategies were deployed, we don't know what prior positions long/short are held by these parties. To say that we know for certain what happened or who is involved is complete rubbish.
Beach suggested one possible scenario. He said it was pure speculation. And I'm certain he even asked you to treat it as such. So why do you persist? Completly ludicrous to imply that anyone here has it figured out or knows what's really going on. Anyone worth their salt in equities or options will concur.
