Okay.. sorry about biting your head off.
There could be several reasons as to why Ben doesn't care. I could speculate all day. Maybe the Rufus is setting up a short trap (set the PPS low unexpectedly after the 10k, and then use company buyback of the stock). I doubt this of course, but it could be the case.
Or maybe he's just being lazy and doesn't want to deal with the board.
Or maybe he naively beleives this company will succeed despite the shorters.
Or maybe you are right, he has short options on this stock right now.
All speculation, nobody knows but Ben..
