lets try and use this in context please...for OTC companies, yes a reverse split is often used to prop PPS as a desperate move.
Crypto Company would obviously not do a reverse split to prop the PPS up in desperation. people are buying shares between $20-$70 over on that ticker. Cleaning up a share structure post merger to get it in line with what they want, is just being smart. Rimrock wouldnt be the one doing the R/S, Crypto is.
So what im saying is, your argument is just completely irrelevant if you put it into any context at all.
